Cultural Considerations for Professional Psychology Ethics: Te tirohanga ahurea hei whakatakato tika, whakapakari te aro ki te tangata: Te ahua ki Aotearoa
The development of the Universal Declaration of Ethical Principles for Psychologists has sparked debate about its applicability to cultural groups around the globe. Focusing on the principle of respect espoused in the Declaration, this article uses examples largely drawn from the indigenous Māori culture of Aotearoa/New Zealand, to highlight how the ethical imperatives espoused by the Declaration may conflict with the perspectives of Māori. A dis…
The evolution of a campaign: Tracking press coverage and party press releases through the 2001 UK General Election
This paper builds upon a content analysis of all news articles that appeared in six national daily newspapers and of all national press releases issued by the three main political parties during the UK General Election 2001 campaign. The results were compared with data from two opinion polls conducted at the start and at the end of the campaign. Here, using the same basic data, we track the coverage of issues in party press releases and daily new…
Metaphorical images of organization: How organizational researchers develop and select organizational metaphors
The article examines how metaphors are developed and selected within organizational theorizing and research. The issue addressed is not whether metaphors exist and play a part in organizational theorizing – as this is now widely accepted – but to draw out how metaphors are actually used and are of conceptual value, particularly as such insights may aid organizational researchers in a better use of them.Working from this position, the article revi…
Countering that which is called anorexia
In our dominant discourses, anorexia and bulimia are identified with those persons suffering from their effects. Thus a person is anorexic or bulimic. By contrast, narrative therapists conceive of anorexia and bulimia as separate from the person. Consequently the problem, and the person's relationship with it, rather than the person themselves, can be recognised as “the problem”. Anorexia and bulimia may then be regarded as having “voices” of the…
Sleaze or clear blue water: The evolution of corporate and pressure group representation at the major UK party conferences
There has been growing academic and public interest in corporate political lobbying in both the UK and EU in recent years. In Britain, links between politicians and commercial interests have been one of the areas examined by the Committee on Standards in Public Life (‘the Nolan Committee’ and now ‘the Neill Committee’). A visible but under‐researched aspect of political lobbying by firms and other groups is the range of activities that take place…
Phylogenetic Time and Symbol Creation: Where Do Zopeds Come From
The data provided by the archaeological record currently lead to the conclusion that modern human anatomy was in place well before the modern species showed its species-typical, symbolically mediated behaviours. This temporal disjunction-between modern human biology and the modern behaviours it supports- poses the question as to how the elaboration of our symbolic behaviours may have occurred. The only field in which there is data as to how symbo…

Psychological science in cultural context
For the psychological sciences cultural processes have traditionally served as but a single entry into a considerable list of phenomena under study. Until recent years, such study has not been richly realized. There are many reasons for the secondary role of a culturally focused psychology. Most prominently, there are two chief ways in which culture figures in the logic of psychological science, and neither of these favors a major professional in…

Language Development
A Social-Technological Model for the Evolution of Language [and Comments and Reply]
This paper develops a model for the evolution of language that is consistent with semanticist and pragmaticist interpretations of the forms and functions of language and the processes of language acquisition and language change. The proximate aspect of the model emphasizes the social contexts of language acquisition and language change; its adaptive aspect emphasizes the sociobiological concept of communication as social manipulation. Both aspect…

Communicative Contexts and Communicative Competence
The development of communicative competence cannot be investigated without a consideration of the development of the context in which communica tion takes place. Contexts are elaborated historically, and constituted by the interplay of language, self-concepts, and social structure. The motivation of elaboration is ecological. Communicative competence is characterised as the level of control an individual exercises over the implications embedded i…
