The Psychology of Serious Everyday World Problems
As global challenges continue to intensify, the need for psychology to meaningfully engage with today's most serious problems has never been clearer. This book demonstrates how the discipline can answer this call to action. Written by leading scholars, it offers a clear and comprehensive presentation of the theories and research that contribute to solving our most serious everyday world issues. Chapters explore extremism, polarization, and conflict; environmental and economic deterioration; systemic obstacles to adaptation; football disorder; the influence of AI on young people; weaknesses in STEM education; and the collapse of effective communication and dialogue. Together, these contributions provide both depth and breadth, showing how psychological science can illuminate and address the most pressing global concerns. Unifying these diverse topics into a coherent whole, the volume is an indispensable resource for students, academics, and professionals committed to applying psychology where it matters most.

Giftedness in Childhood
Giftedness often is defined in a transactional way: individuals give something in return for getting something from authorities who label them as gifted; the labeling authority then expects those individuals identified as 'gifted' to act in ways that justify the label. The authors place emphasis on transformational giftedness-giftedness that serves to make the world a better place. This Element stresses the importance of intelligence, not of the kind of narrow intelligence measured by IQ tests and their proxies, but rather the kind of broad intelligence used to adapt to a variety of real-world environments. The authors further discuss the nature of dual exceptionality, whereby individuals may be identified as having a disability yet at the same time act in gifted ways and thereby harbor the potential to contribute to the world in some distinguished fashion.

Applying Wisdom to Contemporary World Problems
This book presents perspectives from world experts in the field of wisdom studies to propose how wisdom can provide the foundation upon which solutions to social and global problems can be grounded. The authors argue that where society has come to rely on leaders with skills relating to knowledge and intelligence; instead we should focus on wisdom-based acumen for our leaders in government, business, and the military.In this book the authors offer evidence-based definitions of wisdom and apply these to world problems they believe could potentially be solved using wise solutions. Among the case studies confronted are terrorism and war, poverty and economic disparity, climate change, increasing antibiotic resistance and political corruption.Focusing on the cognitive, social and emotional processes involved in everyday decision-making, this book presents a compelling argument for the application of wise problem-solving to complex world issues that will appeal in particular to those in leadership, teaching and policy roles, and open new pathways in the fields of wisdom-studies, psychology, sociology and political theory.
