According to the editor (whose credentials are not given), these ten papers have been selected "in an attempt to present substantial psychology advances across a broad spectrum." Topics include a review of trait meta-mood research; the effects of perception on mode choice; psychology of the child with rheumatic disease; modulation of ongoing and cognitive behaviors of distributed neural networks through tonic- and phasic-release of norepinephrine; assessment of instructional effectiveness of Internet activities for enhancing course content at institutional and intra-personal levels of analysis; a comparative neuropsychological approach to cognitive assessment in clinical populations; forensic old age psychiatry; smoking and psychosocial health among adolescents; evolutionary psychology, social construction, and a biosemiotic proposal for symmetry; and the influence of body weight and shape in determining female and male physical attractiveness.
