Is Superstition Abnormal, Irrational, or Neither? -- 7. A Magical View of the World."While we live in a technologically and scientifically advanced age, superstition is as widespread as ever. Not limited to just athletes and actors, superstitious beliefs are common among people of all occupations, educational backgrounds, and income levels. In this fully updated edition of Believing in Magic, renowned superstition expert Stuart Vyse investigates our tendency towards these irrational beliefs. Superstitions, he writes, are the natural result of several psychological processes, including our human sensitivity to coincidence, a penchant for developing rituals to fill time (to battle nerves, impatience, or both), our efforts to cope with uncertainty, the need for control, and more. In a new Introduction, Vyse discusses important developments and the latest research on jinxes, paranormal beliefs, and luck. He also distinguishes superstition from paranormal and religious beliefs and identifies the potential benefits of superstition for believers. He examines the research to demonstrate how we can better understand complex human behavior. Although superstition is a normal part of our culture, Vyse argues that we must provide alternative methods of coping with life's uncertainties by teaching decision analysis, promoting science education, and challenging ourselves to critically evaluate the sources of our beliefs"--Provided by publisher.SuperstitionSuperstition.133.4/3019PSY000000bisacshVyse Stuart A1620746MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910821496203321Believing in magic3953676UNINA03136nam 22005895 450 991033763530332120251113185405.03-030-05621-X10.1007/978-3-030-05621-6(CKB)4100000007463602(MiAaPQ)EBC5633970(DE-He213)978-3-030-05621-6(PPN)233798951(EXLCZ)99410000000746360220190114d2019 u| 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierAdvanced Engineering for Processes and Technologies /edited by Azman Ismail, Muhamad Husaini Abu Bakar, Andreas Öchsner1st ed. 2019.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Springer,2019.1 online resource (328 pages)Advanced Structured Materials,1869-8441 ;1023-030-05620-1 1 State-of-the-art applications for the development of new materials and technologies -- 2 computer-based engineering tools which are widely used and related to the simulation, evaluation of data and design processes -- 3 Modern joining technologies can be used to fabricate new compound.This volume contains many state-of-the-art applications for the development of new materials and technologies. It discusses computer-based engineering tools which are widely used and related to the simulation, evaluation of data and design processes. For example, modern joining technologies can be used to fabricate new compound or composite materials, even composed of dissimilar materials. Such materials are many times exposed to harsh environments and must reveal specific properties. Technologies in this context are mainly related to the transportation technologies in their wider sense. This means automotive and marine technology, i.e., ships, amphibious vehicles, docks, offshore structures, and even robots. Typically, finite element and finite volume methods are used in the context of engineering simulations and this volume highlights their importance.Advanced Structured Materials,1869-8441 ;102Mechanics, AppliedSolidsMaterialsAnalysisMaterialsSolid MechanicsCharacterization and Analytical TechniqueMaterials EngineeringMechanics, Applied.Solids.MaterialsAnalysis.Materials.Solid Mechanics.Characterization and Analytical Technique.Materials Engineering.620620Ismail Azmanedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtAbu Bakar Muhamad Husainiedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtÖchsner Andreasedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910337635303321Advanced Engineering for Processes and Technologies2296051UNINA
