Title: Duped: Truth-Default Theory and the Social Science of Lying and Deception

Author: Timothy R. Levine

Narrator: Scott R. Pollak

Format: Unabridged

Length: 14:04:47

Language: English

Release date: 09-02-24

Publisher: Dreamscape Media, LLC

Genres: Non-Fiction, Psychology, Social Science

Summary:

From the advent of fake news to climate-science denial and Bernie Madoffs appeal to investors, people can be astonishingly gullible. Some people appear authentic and sincere even when the facts discredit them, and many people fall victim to conspiracy theories and economic scams that should be dismissed as obviously ludicrous. This happens because of a near-universal human tendency to operate within a mindset that can be characterized as a truth-default. We uncritically accept most of the messages we receive as honest. We all are perceptually blind to deception. We are hardwired to be duped. The question is, can anything be done to militate against our vulnerability to deception without further eroding the trust in people and social institutions that we so desperately need in civil society?

Timothy R. Levines Duped: Truth-Default Theory and the Social Science of Lying and Deception recounts a decades-long program of empirical research that culminates in a new theory of deception - truth-default theory. This theory holds that the content of incoming communication is typically and uncritically accepted as true, and most of the time, this is good. Truth-default allows humans to function socially. Further, because most deception is enacted by a few prolific liars, the so called truth-bias is not really a bias after all. Passive belief makes us right most of the time, but the catch is that it also makes us vulnerable to occasional deceit.

Levines research on lie detection and truth-bias has produced many provocative new findings over the years. He has uncovered what makes some people more believable than others and has discovered several ways to improve lie-detection accuracy. In Duped, Levine details where these ideas came from, how they were tested, and how the findings combine to produce a coherent new understanding of human deception and deception detection.

Duped is skillfully narrated by Scott Pollak.

Publisher: Dreamscape Media, LLC

Genres: Non-Fiction, Psychology

Summary:

This is the latest edition of Garry Landreths comprehensive text on creating therapeutic relationships with children through play.

Play Therapy: The Art of the Relationship details Child-Centered Play Therapy (CCPT), an evidence-based model, which stresses the importance of understanding the childs world. Professors who have taught a course based on the previous editions will be pleased to find the core message intact but updated with a comprehensive review of rigorous contemporary research demonstrating the strong evidence base for CCPT across cultural groups and presenting issues. Expanded to cover additional topics of interest, this new edition includes a model of the change process in CCPT and 13 new Rules of Thumb that help clarify the CCPT relationship, and discusses deeper issues in CCPT, such as recognizing emotional blocks in play therapy, being culturally responsive, discovering meaning when there seems to be no meaning, and more.

This new edition offers essential help to play therapists who respond to sensitive issues at every stage of the therapeutic process.

Expanded to cover additional topics of interest, the new edition includes the dynamics and structure of supervision in play therapy, paradoxes in play therapy, models of the change process in child-centered play therapy, and more!

The additions and changes to the fourth edition explain and enhance the concept of play therapy as a process of living out beliefs about children rather than applying techniques, methods or skills, enlarge the view of the play therapist as a person of commitment and passion and present children as being capable of much more than they seem to be.

This audiobook is masterfully narrated by Scott Pollak.
