It can be facilitated by suitable tools and methods, which include needs assessment along with the physical, psychological and social aspects of care.

The present study re-evaluates the same data from an applied perspective and finds that based on the 1994 study the estimated impact of prior expectations on real-life polygraph decisions has been greatly overestimated by polygraph opponents, and would in fact adversely impact just 3% of the total volume of polygraph examinations; not really enough to play any significant role against the use of CQT polygraph testing.

Innovation in teaching ensures that education remains fit for purpose in a changing world. The model of pedagogic frailty proposes that educators may perceive innovation as risky, which may inhibit innovation, and thus reduce opportunities to update learning experiences. Within psychology, psychological literacy (the skills, knowledge and attributes acquired as outcomes of studying psychology) is becoming increasingly central to the curriculum.

Economics - to the great dismay of economists - is merely a branch of psychology. It deals with individual behaviour and with mass behaviour. Many of its practitioners sought to disguise its nature as a social science by applying complex mathematics where common sense and direct experimentation would have yielded far better results. The outcome has been an embarrassing divorce between economic theory and its subjects. The economic actor is assumed to be constantly engaged in the rational pursuit of self interest. This is not a realistic model - merely a useful approximation.

Nazism has shown the depths of brutality of which humanity is capable. Other totalitarian regimes have suppressed human rights without ending poverty.
