Psikologi Komunikasi: Teori dan Praktik

Berbicara tentang Psikologi Komunikasi, tidak dapat dilepaskan dengan komunikasi itu sendiri. Dalam sejarah perkembangan komunikasi juga banyak melibatkan banyak tokoh Psikologi di dalamnya. Setidaknya ada 3 (tiga) orang pakar Psikologi yang juga diakui sebagai Bapak Komunikasi, yaitu Carl I. Hovland, Paul Lazarfeld dan Kurt Lewin. Meskipun demikian, komunikasi tidak menjadi bagian dalam subdisiplin keilmuan psikologi. Komunikasi menembus batas atau sekat banyak disiplin ilmu, dikarenakan komunikasi digunakan sebagai jembatan atau penghubung untuk mentransfer ide atau gagasan kepada pihak-pihak lain, sehingga dapat mengubah cara pandang seseorang terhadap sesuatu hal. Menurut Ashley M sistemontagu, Komunikasi merupakan bagian yang mendasar dalam relasi dan mengubah kepribadian seseorang. Dalam hal ini, komunikasi erat kaitannya dengan perilaku dan pengalaman kesadaran manusia, sehingga komunikasi menjadi bidang keilmuan menarik apabila dikaji dari sisi psikologi.

Metacognitive Training and Self-management of Delusions in Chronic Schizophrenia

A growing body of evidence (Moritz, 2010) demonstrates how enriched flexibility of thought and improved theory of mind can increase the patient’s ability to reduce delusions or avoid an acute psychotic event. This research examines the effectiveness of Metacognitive Training in increasing positive self-management of delusions with patients who are diagnosed on the Schizophrenia spectrum. A within-groups design yielded marginal statistical significance of .054 ( t (10) = 2.18, p = .054). Clinically meaningful effect sizes were identified in overall improvement and in the subscales Jumping to Conclusions, Belief Inflexibility, Social Cognition, and Safety Behaviors of the Davos Assessment Cognitive Biases Scale.

Governance and Public Policy in Canada

A View from the Provinces

Governance and Public Policy in Canada lays the foundation for a systematic analysis of policy developments, shaped as they are by multiple players, institutional tensions, and governance legacies. Arguing that provinces are now the most central site of governance and policy innovation, the book assesses the role of the provinces and places the provincial state in its broader economic, institutional, social, and territorial context. The aim throughout is to highlight the crucial role of provinces in policy changes that directly affect the lives of citizens. Three key themes unify this book. First, it addresses the role of policy convergence and divergence among provinces. Although the analysis acknowledges enduring differences in political culture and institutions, it also points to patterns of policy diffusion and convergence in specific areas in a number of provinces. Second, the book explores the push and pull between centralization and decentralization in Canada as it affects intergovernmental relations. Third, it underscores that although the provinces play a greater role in policy development than ever before, they now face a growing tension between their expanding policy ambitions and their capacity to develop, fund, implement, manage, and evaluate policy programs. Governance and Public Policy in Canada describes how the provincial state has adapted in the context of these changing circumstances to transcend its limited capacity while engaging with a growing number of civil society actors, policy networks, and intergovernmental bodies.
