The Oxford Handbook of Meditation
This is the most comprehensive volume to date on the science and history of meditation. Written in an accessible language by world-leading experts, it describes the various meditation practices employed to modify the self, such as concentration, recitation, breathing, and visualisation, and its effects on the mind and body. It includes debates and controversies on its varied results and aims – including liberation from the cycle of death and rebi…

The Morality‐Agency‐Communion (MAC) model of respect and liking
Traits can primarily facilitate one's own goals (agentic) or those of others (communal) with the former linked with respect and the latter with liking. However, communal traits vary in morality, which has been associated with respect. Four studies tested the impact of traits varying in morality, agency (competence or assertiveness) and communion (warmth) on ratings of respect and liking. Studies 1 and 2 used vignettes targeting integrity (communi…
Respect Your Enemies
Journal Article Respect Your Enemies: Orientations Towards Political Opponents and Political Involvement in Britain Get access Mansur Lalljee, Mansur Lalljee 1University of Oxford, UK and 2University of Leeds, UK Mansur Lalljee is Emeritus Fellow, Jesus College, Oxford, UK. His recent empirical work has focused on the relevance of respect for others in a wide variety of contexts—interpersonal, intragroup, intergroup, and cultural. His other main …
Respect for persons in the intergroup context
Two studies examined self—other overlap and intergroup emotions as mediators of the effects of respect for persons on action tendencies towards outgroup members. In contexts of both mild (Study 1) and more severe (Study 2) intergroup conflict, respect for persons predicted action tendencies towards outgroup members: those who value the intrinsic worth of others (high respect for persons) expressed less negative and more positive action tendencies…
Unconditional respect for persons and the prediction of intergroup action tendencies
Unconditional respect for persons is an orientation that rests on the assumption that all people have intrinsic worth and deserve respect simply by their being human. This paper reports three cross‐sectional studies concerning unconditional respect in intergroup relations in three very different contexts. In all three studies, unconditional respect was positively related to positive action tendencies, and negatively related to negative action ten…
Holistic Individualism in the Age of Aquarius
The New Age has been reported to be an exemplary religion of modernity, that emphasizes the importance of autonomy and self-development. Attempts to establish whether New Age ideas and practices were oriented toward self-transcendence or if, instead, they reinforced secular individualistic values and behaviors have become a central point of debate among researchers. In order to bring some new light to this debate we compared New Age with Roman Ca…
Empowerment in the New Age
This article contributes to the ongoing debate about the motivational goals of New Age practices and beliefs by looking at descriptions of auto-biographical life events. Narratives from New Age, Catholic, and non-religious participants (N = 163) were analysed according to agency and communion types of motivations. New Age respondents were found to have a higher frequency for agency and a lower frequency for communion themes than the other groups,…
Communication context, explanation, and social judgment
The effects of the communication context on explanations and judgments were investigated in two experiments where participants explained a boy's violent behavior either to a disciplinarian or to a permissive addressee. The results of Study 1 showed that the participants' explanations varied as a function of communication context, but their judgments of responsibility were not influenced. In Study 2, the communication demand was either subtle or b…
Measuring Left-Right and Libertarian-Authoritarian Values in the British Electorate
A B S'I'RA C' I' Butler and Stokes' authoritative analysis of the British electorate concluded that in general voters' political attitudes were poorly formed and, in consequence, unstable and inconsistent. This paper re-examines this question by developing and evaluating multiple-item scales of two core dimensions of mass political beliefs: left-right and libertarian-authoritarian values. The scales are shown to have respectable levels of interna…
Attribution in conversational context
Attribution theorists typically have conceived the attribution process in terms of universal laws of cognitive functioning, independent of social interaction. In this paper we argue for the notion, grounded in recent ordinary language philosophy, that any consideration of the form of everyday explanation must take into account its function as an answer to a ‘why’ question within a conversational framework. Experiment 1 provides support for the id…
Discounting Attributions and Multiple Determinants
The discounting principle in attribution theory was considered a well-established phenomenon until recently, when both the empirical and theoretical basis for discounting have been questioned. Many instances of strong discounting have used measures that constrain explanations, such as a forced-choice and bipolar measures. Two studies were performed simulating Thibaut and Riecken's study of attributions for target persons' compliance to a request,…
The Role of Event Prototypes in Categorization and Explanation
This chapter examines the processes whereby the lay person classifies events. It examines the relationships between beliefs about events and the relationship between classification and explanation. The notion of “event prototypes” is proposed as a productive vehicle for investigating these processes. Event prototypes are coherent and inter-related sets of characteristics concerning the sort of person who typically features in the event, the typic…

The Relationships between Images of God, Explanations for Failure to Do One's Duty to God, and Invoking God's Agency
This exploratory study seeks to relate the tendency to invoke God's agency as an explanation to (a) the images of God held by the person, and (b) the person's beliefs about why people fail in their duty to God. Brief descriptions of hypothetical events were presented to subjects who were asked to rate how likely it was that the events expressed the will of God. Subjects were also asked to rank the importance of 21 attributes for their conception …

Explanations, attributions and the social context of unexpected behaviour
The study investigated the effect of the expectancies a perceiver holds about the occurrence of a particular behaviour and his or her familiarity with the situation in which the behaviour occurs, for the way in which an event is explained. Subjects were presented with brief descriptions of hypothetical events which varied in terms of the familiarity of the situation. Dependent variables included ratings of causality to personal and situational ca…
Social representations, social attribution and social identity
Investigated the relationship between social representations, intergroup causal attributions and the search for a positive social identity in two rival groups from British secondary education. Part I studied the shared social beliefs 0f 20 ‘Public’ (PS) and 20 ‘Comprehensive’ (CS) schoolboys (age 16 years) concerning similarities and differences between the two types of schoolboy. Each subject wrote a short essay on the topic and these essays wer…
Anxiety and Ritualized Speech
The experiment examines the effects on a number of words that seem irrevelant to semantic communication. The Units of Ritualized Speech (URSs) considered are: 'I mean', 'in fact', 'really', 'sort of', 'well' and 'you know'. Two hypotheses are tested: (i) that URS rate will increase with anxiety; and (ii) that the speaker's preferred URS will increase with anxiety. Subjects were interviewed on topics they had previously rated as anxiety-provoking …
Filled Pauses and Floor-Holding
Filled Pauses and Syntactic Complexity
Two studies of syntactic complexity in relation to filled pause rates are described. In the first no relation between proportion of subordinate clauses and FP rate is found. In the second it is found that FPs precede longer than average clauses. It is suggested that FPs reflect processes of syntactic organisation at the clause level, rather than the sentence level
