""This volume makes it clear that advances in philosophical knowledge can contribute to psychology. Consequently, some psychological tenets of Holt's era that were ahead of their time are consistent with new philosophical ideas . . . . [T]he book provides a compelling look at some arguments that psychologists may have thought had been resolved. . . . Recommended."" -B. C. Beins, Choice

Drawing on feminist psychology and conversation analysis, this paper argues in support of an empirical programme that pays close attention to the details of talk while avoiding assumptions of gender essentialism. A short data fragment is presented. The analysis points to the kind of interpretation relying on speakers' identities that has been the target of much recent critique by gender and language scholars. It also illustrates a membership categorisation analysis of the data. The question posed is why the age and gender identity categories get used in the way they do. The analysis shows that the form and serial position of the identity categories within a single utterance produces a commonsense knowledge, albeit local and idiosyncratic, of age and gender.

"Part of a mini series of Focus books on COVID-19 in Malaysia, the chapters in this book addresses the psychosocial impact on the pandemic and ways in which people have learned to develop the ability to be more resilient despite the challenges of living and working during this public health crisis. Covering a range of topics including life under lockdown, working on the frontlines, and the rapid adaptation to online teaching, the contributors highlight the pervasiveness of the pandemic on Malaysian society, identified factors that potentially increase the psychosocial impact of the pandemic on different segments of the population and how Malaysians have found ways to cope throughout this period. This is an opportunity to witness how researchers from multiple disciplines can join forces during challenging times. There are a great many lessons to be learned from the successes and failures in responding to the pandemic and the measures that have been necessary to contain it. A fascinating read for scholars with an interest in crisis management in non-Western contexts, especially those with a particular interest in Malaysia, or Southeast Asia more generally"--

The purpose of the study is to find out the psychological impact of the COVID‐19 pandemic on university students. The study focuses on the university students from different public and private universities of Bangladesh through a set of questionnaires according to the guideline of Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD‐7). The result among 15 543 respondents shows that 44.59% are suffering from severe anxiety, 48.41% moderate anxiety, and only 3.82% mild anxiety. The results highlight that all epidemic‐related stressors are positively correlated with the level of anxiety. Among the epidemic‐related stressors, worry about economic influences during and after COVID‐19 (r = 0.342, p < 0.001) and worry about the influence of COVID‐19 on daily life (r = 0.340, p < 0.001) have a highly positive impact on the level of anxiety. Following these stressors, worry about academic delays due to COVID‐19 (r = 0.326, p < 0.001) and worry about the social support during COVID‐19 (r = 0.321, p < 0.001) have moderately and positively correlated with the level of anxiety. The study suggests that proper government support, as well as social awareness, should be monitored during epidemics for decreasing anxiety and maintaining a good mental health of the university students.

This article discusses some of the challenges departments face as they embark on curriculum development. The interpersonal dynamics of a department are often the first and most difficult obstacle to overcome but are often overlooked. The author suggests some strategies for how to address these issues as they arise.
