This book focuses on the latest developments in psychology research. Chapter One identifies characteristics of narcissism and its related issues which impair adults’ mental lives, in particular, focusing on interpersonal relationships. Almost all research has focused on the extent to which identity predicts intergroup discrimination. Chapter Two reverses this trend by focusing on the extent to which discrimination leads to enhanced levels of identity. Chapter Three aims to identify barriers and facilitators affecting the social participation of adults with ASD with a view to improving interventions designed for them. Chapter Four outlines a theory of the social-emotional world implied in the work of C. H. Cooley and others. In Chapter Five, sexual problems appearing at dependent persons and those entangled in the dependence as well as methods of the therapy work are all presented and discussed. Chapter Six assessed the extent to which an eight-factor model of motives for performing music that was found on a sample of conductors of orchestra may be generalized to another kind of music performers: Singers of Fado. Chapter Seven summarizes known facts on psychological problems in children related to caesarean deliveries on maternal request (CDMR). Chapter Eight examined the effect of Islamophobia and political orientation on perceived threats from Islamic terrorism and on the attitudes about the policy of immigrants’ exclusion in Switzerland.
