Traditional moral psychological studies have suggested the role of moral self as the moderator of moral cognition, so activity of moral self would present at the neural level.

A fuller and more systematic account will be published in early 2016 in book form. According to what we learned, all IS cadres undergo Shariah training in which they are imbued with a Takfiri ideology that allows them to deem all others, including Muslims, who disagree with IS' extreme ideology, as apostates who should be killed. Despite this indoctrination, all of our informants (all... EFTA01185517  VIEW PAPER ;`,1Lor Lorenzo Cini enzo . . European University Institute, Political and Social Sciences, Graduate Student Review of "della Porta D. 2015, Social Movements in Times of Austerity, Polity: Maiden" Over the last few years, there has been a certain degree of agreement among social movement scholars on the fact that the dominant analytical frameworks of social movement theory have been not fully able to explain the recent wave of protests, triggered by the economic crisis. Following this concern, some authors have started a debate about how to modify and refine these frameworks in order to better account for the current dynamics of mobilization. This type of reflection is precisely at the centre of the analysis of a book recently published by Polity Press (2015: pp. 249), titled Social... VIEW PAPER Seth Spain h Binghamton University, School of Management, Faculty Member Separating the Why from the What: Reply to Jonas and Markon (2015) In this response to the commentary offered by Jonas and Markon (this issue) on our earlier work (Wood, Hensler, & Harms, 2015), we address points of agreement and disagreement on the nature and utility of functionalist and descriptivist accounts of personality. Specifically, we argue that explanatory and conceptual parsimony is more appropriate than statistical parsimony for evaluating the proposed models, discuss ways in which functionalist and descriptivist approaches can complement one another, and provide some cautions about interpreting latent traits.

These bodies emit magical signs and they give off powerful feelings and mobilize affects that are height- ened and intense. Celebrities often stand as perfected or flawed creatures, embody identity politics, and give meaning to the imagined body of the nation-state. In this respect, golfer Tiger Woods becomes, first, the embodied truth that the United States has entered a postrace state of greater social equality (Berlant 1997), and, second, the reconstituted radicalized myth that black men are, after all, essentially sexual...
