This book focuses on the latest developments in psychology research. Chapter One reviews the theoretical underlying mechanisms of building self-control from three perspectives: self-control as a limited resource, social cognitive changes in self-control, and neurological models of improving self-control. Chapter Two reviews physical self-perception of college students. Chapter Three examines the impact of mood and environmental cueing on thought suppression. Chapter Four focuses on the psychological benefits of urban nature. Chapter Five examines how far regulatory focus moderates women’s instinctive motivation in financial decisions when responding to erotic stimuli involving the choice of a partner for a short- or long-term relationship. Chapter Six investigates whether and in what ways acceptance of neoliberal political beliefs may be associated with individual responses to risk for an incapacitated sexual assault. Chapter Seven examines the relationship between the caretaking experiences of mothers and their caregiving experiences with their subsequent infant, born following stillbirth. Chapter Eight identifies correlations between extended-hour, center-based care, including nighttime care and schoolchildren’s health, and the childrearing environment provided by parents and the health of school-age children. Chapter Nine is a commentary on the role of psychology in preparing for lean times.
