TL;DR: Alfred Schutz (1899-1959) as mentioned in this paper was a critical synthesis of Husserl's phenomenology and Weber's sociology of understanding, and his writings constitute the framework of a sociology based on phenomenological considerations.
Abstract: Alfred Schutz (1899-1959) stood simultaneously in the camps of philosophy and sociology, and his writings constitute the framework of a sociology based on phenomenological considerations. Schutz's basic contributions issue from a critical synthesis of Husserl's phenomenology and Weber's sociology of understanding. He proceeds on the basis of the irreducible souce of all human knowledge in the immediate experiences of the conscious, alert, and active individual. In this volume Helmut Wagner has selected and skillfully correlated various passages both from Schutz's book "The Phenomenology of the Social World" and from his scattered papers and essays.

TL;DR: In this article, Anderson et al. investigated the relationship between individual pupil perceptions of their class and their individual learning in terms of interpersonal relationships among pupils, relationship between pupils and their teacher, relationships between pupils with both the subject studied and the method of learning and pupils' perceptions of the structural characteristics of the class.
Abstract: Teachers often suggest that classes have a distinctive personality or "climate" which influences the learning efficiency of their members. In some classes, the difficulties of one pupil become the concern of all. In other groups, each child works for personal rewards and the presence of others does little to aid or frustrate his individual learning. The properties of school classes that account for some of these differences have been termed the classroom social climate (Anderson, 1968). Derived from prior group research and from an intuitive analysis of the types of interactions that are present in typical school classes, these climate properties include interpersonal relationships among pupils, relationships between pupils and their teacher, relationships between pupils and both the subject studied and the method of learning, and finally, pupils' perceptions of the structural characteristics of the class. Previous research on classroom social climate has provided some insights into two aspects of the social psychology of the school class group. One study (Walberg and Anderson, 1968) considered the relationships between individual pupil perceptions of their class and their individual learning; a subsequent study (Anderson & Walberg, 1968) attempted to account for differential class performance in terms of

01 Jan 1970TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that the generation of informed speculation facilitates, and may even be necessary to, the development of an understanding of how evolution has shaped human psychological characteristics.
Abstract: The construct of self is central to psychology and allied disciplines. This construct has captivated and enchanted philosophers and scientists, religious and political figures, writers and poets. The self has been hailed as the basis of motivation, emotion and behavior, and has also been heralded as the key to a deeper understanding of human nature. At the same time, the self has been mystified as enigmatic and fleeting, and has also been vilified as a direct route to personal miseries and societal woes. Given the increasing relevance of natural selection principles in psychology, it is not surprising that a construct as multifaceted and influential as the self has begun to attract the attention of those psychologists who are interested in the evolutionary origins of various human psychological attributes (e. These psychologists conceptualize the human self as a trait that evolved in response to the environmental pressures that drive natural selection. However, whether this conceptualization is likely to bear fruit is the subject of some debate. This debate is driven by the realization that our knowledge base concerning the conditions that influence the early evolution of humans is still thin. Consequently, one must make a number of plausible suppositions in an attempt to use principles of natural selection to understand the evolutionary origins of the self. For some researchers, such speculation—no matter how informed—is futile, and even potentially misleading. This is particularly true for those selection pressures, such as social organization, that leave only faint physical traces. For example, Bahn (1990, p. 75) argues: " I hate to break the news, but social organisation is unexcavatable, when the best one can hope for is a hypothesis based on inference and analogy … In fact it is quite possible that all the interpretations of Palaeolithic life yet put forward are hopelessly wrong, and in any case we shall never know which of them are correct. " However, other researchers believe that the generation of informed speculation facilitates, and may even be necessary to, the development of an understanding of how evolution has shaped human psychological characteristics. As noted by Quiatt and Reynolds (1993, p. 262): " Anthropologists who have managed perfectly to subdue their imagination make dull company. Only informed speculation can give us a sense of how our society Evolution of the Human Self 3 evolved. " In this chapter we side, rather unapologetically, with the latter of the two debate …
