For example, an appreciative attitude towards children is anchored in a variety of school concepts or is considered a pedagogical principle of teachers. However, it is often unclear how appreciation is specifically expressed in the context of school.

The present study attempts to contribute to research into the effective factors of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). EMDR is a well-studied and effective method for the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), the effective factors of which have not yet been clearly clarified. With this book, eye movements are derived directly from the EOG (electrooculogram) during an EMDR-typical setting for the first time. In addition, cortical processes such as activation, interhemispheric activation differences, and remembering and reappraisal are...

Two further quantitative studies result in results on the actual levels of belief, differential beliefs of students with different levels of founding intentions and belief factors obtained through...

This book provides a comprehensive methodological and empirical overview of the current status of decision-making research with children. Based on this, the theoretical debate about the cognitive mechanisms of decision-making that is currently being conducted in decision-making research with adults is expanded by a developmental-psychological perspective: An understanding of...
