Situationism in psychology refers to an approach to personality that holds that people are more influenced by external, situational factors than by internal trait s or motivation s. It therefore challenges the position of trait theorists, such as Hans Eysenck or Raymond B. Cattell . Situationists base their claims on experiments that measure traits such as extraversion in different situations. They found that a particular person s scores in one situation did not predict that person s score in another situation well. However, in response to such evidence, Hans Eysenck has pointed out that the correlations, while low, are typically still high enough to reach statistical significance . A midrange position, which holds that personality is best understood as resulting from subtle interplay of internal and external factors, is known as interactionism . Some notable situationist studies include Philip Zimbardo Zimbardo s Stanford prison experiment , Bystander effect Bystander experiments, obedience human behavior Obedience experiments like Milgram experiment and Heat and Aggression experiments. The term is popularly associated with Walter Mischel , although he himself does not appear to like the term. References Krahe, B. 1993 Personality and Social Psychology Towards a Synthesis.

Context date October 2009 Extension transference is a term used to describe the symbolic sub division of a particular goal or purpose so that the sub divided concepts seem fragmented from the original purpose. when applied to language and experience, becomes a useful theoretical concept. Thus, spoken language is a symbolization of something that happened, is happening or will happen. Written language as an extension of the spoken form is therefore a symbolization of symbolization This intellectual manoeuvre Hall terms extension transference. The extension can become confused with or take the place of the process described. Lago, p68 . Extension transference is a phenomenon that occurs when we create systems to help us do things more efficiently and effectively an in ways that we can measure and control. Often these are processes that we once did quite naturally on our own. Hanson, p. 43 . The term was coined by the American anthropologist, Edward T. Hall in his book Beyond Culture 1976 .

File HAV prevalence 2005.png thumb 300px Hepatitis A prevalence worldwide, 2005. Health geography is the application of geographical information, perspectives, and methods to the study of health , disease , and health care . Overview Adopting a socio ecological rather than the bio medical model, health geography adopts a more holistic approach, emphasizing treatment of the whole person and not just components of the system. Under this model, new illnesses e.g., mental ill health are recognised, and other types of medicine e.g., complementary or alternative medicine are combined with traditional medicine . This alternative methodological approach means that medical geography is broadened to incorporate philosophies such as structuration , structuralism , interactionism social interactionism , feminism , et cetera. Thus the field of health geography was born. History of health geography A classic piece of research in health geography was done in 1854 as Broad Street cholera outbreak a cholera outbreak gripped a neighborhood in London . Death tolls rang around the clock and the people feared that they were being infected by vapors coming from the ground. John Snow physician John Snow thought that if he could locate the source of the disease, it could be contained. He drew maps showing the homes of people who had died of cholera and the locations of water pumps. He found that one pump, the public pump on Broad Street, was central to most of the victims. He figured that infected water from the pump was the culprit. He instructed the authorities to remove the handle to the pump, making it unusable. After that the number of new cholera cases decreased. Areas of study Health geography can provide a spatial understanding of a population s health, the distribution of disease in an area, and the environment s effect on health and disease. It deals also with accessibility to health care and spatial distribution of health care providers. The field is considered a subdiscipline o ... more details
