Volume 45, 2003, Supplement III: Contents

This supplement gathers a set of contributions spanning learning, consciousness, psychopathology, attachment, perception, diagnostics, aggression, and the role of knowledge at work. The pieces run across both German and English, and they share an interest in how mental processes can be described, measured, and understood in practical settings.

Klaus Foppa opens with a reflection on learning. Josef Schurz follows with an attempt at a systemic psychology, taking up the self and its consciousness as the central question.

Michael Lasar and Frank Goldbeck turn to action-related executive cognitions, examining them within the psychopathology and psychotherapy of schizophrenic illness.

Ina Grau, Ulrich Clashausen, and Diether Höger put two instruments side by side: Grau's attachment questionnaire and the Bielefeld questionnaire on partnership expectations developed by Höger and Buschkämper. Their comparison looks at what each one actually captures.

Petra Hauf and Viktor Sarris report on multidimensional perceptual-cognitive judgment types, working within psychophysical frame-of-reference research and testing both children and adults.

Silke Schiemann describes the development and trial of a test battery meant for use when malingering is suspected, a diagnostic question that has obvious weight in clinical and forensic practice.

Klaus Peter Burkhardt asks what the AMG test system really records, focusing on how one might measure the emotional foundations of habitual aggressiveness.

The closing two papers, by André Büssing and Britta Herbig, shift to the workplace. One addresses tacit knowledge and experience in working; the other, with the authors' names reversed in order, compares the parts played by explicit and implicit knowledge on the job.
