Title Participants Abstract "Work and organizational psychology: could the field adopt an open systems perspective to embrace the new context? A reaction to: ""Beyond neoliberalism in work and organizational psychology"" (Bal, 2015)" "René Bouwen, Tharsi Taillieu" "© 2016, Boom Lemma Publishers. All rights reserved. Bal (2015) depicts a reduction of focus in A&O psychology towards instrumental employer-employee relations, which he attributes to the increased impact of neoliberalism on society. In this reaction we point towards other factors that determine scientific agendas and practices. Bal prescribes a focus on human dignity and organizational democracy as remedial action. We argue that action research, respecting the essential relational character of human interaction in context, together with an open systems research approach, accounting for diversity in substantive and relational inputs and outputs, can foster the desired enlargement of scope in A&O psychology." "Applied Psychology: An International Review Special Issue Advances in the Psychology of Entrepreneurship" "Ute Stephan" "More than one psychology of religion in the house of the International Association for the Psychology of religion" "Jozef Corveleyn" "© 2016 by Koninklijke Brill NV. All rights reserved. In his minutely constructed book on the history of psychology of religion, Belzen pays correct attention to the organizational and methodological contributions of Antoine Vergote in the course of the last half of this century long history. In this short article, the author highlights a few aspects of Vergote's intellectual approach in the psychology of religion that inevitably remain underexposed in Belzen's already long book. First focus is the background of Vergote's plea for a strict neutrality, be it with interest, and thus benevolent, as the basic attitude of the researcher in this domain. Despite this plea, it is quite clear how much his own approach was influenced by his personal reading of Christianism. Second, the author focuses the ""Latin"" (French) sources of inspiration in the work of Vergote. And he hypothesizes that this probably is the reason for the lack of a widespread influence of his work in the international world of the psychology of religion." "Attitudes towards psychology as a science and the persistence of psychological misconceptions in psychology undergraduates." "F Lyddy, Sean Joseph Hughes" "Dual-processes in the psychology of mathematics education and cognitive psychology" "Wim Van Dooren, Walter Schaeken, Lieven Verschaffel" "Research in the psychology of mathematics education has been confronted with the fact that people blatantly fail to solve tasks they are supposed to be able to solve correctly given their available domain-specific knowledge and skills. Also researchers in cognitive psychology have encountered such phenomena. In this paper, theories that have been developed in both fields to account for these findings are discussed. After giving a summary of the state of the art in both fields, we argue that bringing together these largely separately developed (sets of) theories creates opportunities for both domains and we suggest a way in which this can be done."

"Marc Brysbaert" "The Interplay of Psychology and Mathematics Education: From the Attraction of Psychology to the Discovery of the Social" "Karen François" "It is a rather safe statement to claim that the social dimensions of the scientific process are accepted in a fair share of studies in the philosophy of science. It is a somewhat safe statement to claim that the social dimensions are now seen as an essential element in the understanding of what human cognition is and how it functions. It would be a rather unsafe statement to claim that the social is fully accepted in the philosophy of mathematics. Finally, we are not quite sure what kind of statement it is to claim that the social dimensions in theories of mathematics education are becoming more prominent. In our contribution we will focus, after a brief presentation of the above claims, on this particular domain to understand the successes and failures of the development of theories of mathematics education that focus on the social." "Discursive psychology" "Sarah Talboom, Jo Pierson" "In dit hoofdstuk verkennen we wat de discusieve psychologie kan bijdragen aan de analyse van communicatie-inhouden. Deze benadering biedt een relevant perspectief dat (onder meer) gebruikt kan worden om een breed scala aan gemedieerde communicatie en interactie te analyseren. Denk bij- voorbeeld aan krantenartikels, discussieprogramma’s op radio of televisie, maar ook onlinemediateksten zoals X-data (voorheen Twitter), blogposts, opmerkingen op nieuwswebsites of gesprekken binnen onlinegemeen- schappen. Vooraleer zelf aan de slag te gaan, is het belangrijk te begrijpen wat deze benadering inhoudt en waar ze vandaan komt. Alleen zo kan een onderzoeker op een juiste manier gebruikmaken van de discursieve psychologie bij de analyse van gemedieerde communicatie en interactie."
