ECP / ECERP 2015 Programme Cover Image:“Fairground Church” by Jim Haldane

Jim Haldane did a series of thirteen large canvasses to represent the thirteen disciples.They all include Brighton’s
two most famous churches, Saint Peter’s (front) and Saint Bartholomew’s (rear). Jim’s former studio gave a goodview of Brighton and he could see both churches from there.
St Peter’s Church stands on an island between the Lewes and London roads, on the edge of North Laine, anddominates the entrance to Brighton & Hove. It is not an ancient church but it is very beautiful. The foundationstone was laid in 1824, during the reign of George IV, when it became clear that the medieval parish church of
St Nicholas was too small for the growing population of Brighton.
St Bartholomew’s is a Grade 1 listed Victorian Church famous for its Art Nouveau furnishings. Built by A.D.
Wagner in 1874 and desgned by local architect Edmund Scott, it is the tallest Parish Church (135 ft) in Britain
if not Europe.

welcome to brighton & hove
Dear Delegates,

letter of welcome

Welcome to the city of Brighton & Hove, a vibrant and diverse centre of Arts and Culture.
Ever since the Prince Regent first visited in 1783, Brighton & Hove has been England’s most exciting seaside city, and today it’sas vibrant, eccentric and cosmopolitan as ever. As Mayor it’s my job to try and represent our city to others and its civic life to
the people who live here… quite a job, considering the depth and breadth of our offer.
Our city has a bohemian, artistic and eccentric atmosphere that can’t be found anywhere else in the UK. We combine themodern with the traditional and the outlandish with the everyday; tempting and treating visitors and residents alike with aunique cultural experience.
If you’ve never visited I urge you to get out and about and make the most of the rich cultural mix - Regency architecture,pleasure pier, specialist shops, pavement cafés, lively arts and of course the exotic Royal Pavilion. Everything’s in walking
distance, so take time to explore and enjoy what the city has to offer.
Our City–by-the-sea has a passion for creativity, a desire to look at things differently, and a friendliness that attracts visitors fromall over the world. Whether it’s the sea air that changes your perspective or the lively North Laine that buzzes day and night,
I am sure that Brighton & Hove has got that special something that will inspire.
I wish you every success with your conference and hope you have a long and enjoyable stay.

Councillor Lynda Hyde
Mayor of the City of Brighton & Hoveiii

welcome to brighton & hove
Dear Delegates,

This 2015 conference series, organized in four separate events over two weeks, welcomes more than 800 participants
representing more than fifty countries in an international, intercultural and interdisciplinary celebration.
Since 2009, IAFOR has promoted and facilitated research synergies and partnerships between individuals and institutions in, andbetween Asian countries, and between Asian countries and the outside world.This function as a network hub has seen IAFOR
grow to develop partnerships with many of the world’s foremost institutions of learning, and this event is is strongly supportedby this global partnership, and includes such institutions as Waseda University (Japan), Birkbeck University of London (UK),The
National Institute of Education (Singapore),The National University of Tainan (Taiwan), Lincoln University (UK), the Hong Kong
Institute of Education (HKSAR), Auburn University (USA),Virginia Tech (USA), Monash University (Australia), Lehigh University(USA), NorthWestern University (USA), Barcelona University (Spain), and most recently Moscow State University (Russia).
IAFOR has built a tradition of hosting truly international, intercultural and interdisciplinary conferences. People working in agreat range of cultures, contexts, and academic areas come together to share their perspectives on common human issues.
The result is invariably a unique experience of learning and sharing and making new contacts for future collaboration, and I do
expect us to continue in this tradition.
This conference, the second in a series of four, will bring together scholars and practitioners covering Psychology & theBehavioral Sciences, Ethics, Religion, and Philosophy, and we hope that you will enjoy the rich and diverse program over the
next few days together.
If you enjoy this event, then I would encourage you to explore other IAFOR conferences, including announced events in the
UK, Japan, Dubai, and Hawaii in 2015 and early 2016, and with events in Boston, Barcelona and Singapore in the planning stages
for later in 2016 and 2017.
I would like to thank the conference chairs and the keynote and featured speakers, as well as each and every delegate, from
wherever you have come, and I look forward to meeting you all.

Keynote Presentation: The Divided Self - How a better understanding of the human mind could transform society

Keynote Presentation
Tuesday, July 7, 2015
09:45-10:30
Renaissance Suite

15

We are faced with a number of global challenges that threaten our very existence: population growth, sustainability,
climate change, racism and all of its consequences including inequality and conflict.These challenges all require us to adapt
and change our everyday behaviour. We have all heard the arguments, and most recognise the need for change. So whyis there so little actual change in terms of what we do? I will suggest in this lecture that we may need to think differently
about the way the human mind works if we are to understand why human behaviour is so destructive and maladaptive
and if we are to promote genuine, adaptive, behaviour change. I will suggest that as a starting point, we must recognisethat people don’t actually have a mind – they have two, and this may hold the key as to why people behave in the waythat they do. Human beings have ‘a divided self ’ and the way that the two separate systems interact may ultimately holdthe key to our survival.There will be a particular focus on two areas – sustainability and racism, where I will explore how
implicit and unconscious processes direct much of our everyday behaviour with significant implications for us all.These
two areas are explored in two of my recent books ‘Why Aren’t We Saving the Planet? A Psychologist’s Perspective’and ‘Our Racist Heart? An Exploration of Unconscious Prejudice in Everyday Life’, both were published by Routledge.

E. Zeller,2014), and Jehovah’s Witnesses: Continuity and Change (2015). He is a regular presenter at national andinternational conferences.
Keynote Presentation: Power, Empowerment and Disempowerment in Religion
How do religious leaders acquire power over their followers, and what effect do they have on empowerment or
disempowerment of their followers? The lecture explores the relationship between charismatic authority and religious
power, and what the charismatic leader offers in terms of empowerment and disempowerment. While religious
leaders, particularly those who found new spiritual movements, are frequently accused of exercising complete powerover their followers, followers often claim that the leader and the organisation offers them empowerment. The
presentation explores the paradox of empowerment and disempowerment in religious organisations, and how thisparadox is resolved.

Abstract: Wright (2001) proposed that the “influence of an early condition, intervention, or other basis for predicting
diverging individual differences over time will be greater if it produces differences opposite in direction from thedevelopmental changes expected normatively for that outcome. Conversely, if the antecedent produces differences
favoring the developmental direction that is normatively expected, its effects will be attenuated, and harder to detect”(p.1). Since that time, a number of studies provide evidence for diverging normative trajectories. The purpose of thispresentation is to examine 4 studies with different child populations where the influence of a specific educational
media intervention was hypothesized to produce differences opposite in direction from normative expectations (inthe absence of intervention). Poor children, boys, children whose parents had ineffective parenting skills, and racial
minority children were hypothesized normatively to do more poorly academically in relation to non-poor children,
girls, children whose parents have effective parenting skills, and non-minority children. If an intervention produces
differences opposite in direction to the expected poor outcomes, then the magnitude of the effect associated with
exposure should be especially high compared with children exposed to the same intervention who are alreadyprogressing normatively towards academic success. In all four studies, educational media exposure was associated withsignificant gains across four areas (i.e., literacy, high school grades, executive function, language) for children whose
normative academic trajectories should be less than optimal suggesting the importance of using interventions thatmatch the kinds of resources and experiences to which children are frequently exposed.

Abstract: The aim of the paper is to identify basic attitudes of police officers toward the use of force and see to what
extent they could be more or less closely linked to given notions of life-view and existential guilt. Throughout theliterature about the use of force by police officers, we have identified the task-oriented attitude, the relation-focused
attitude, and the socially/institutionally-induced attitude. We use Kierkegaard’s notions of aesthetic/ethical life-view inorder to unveil how such attitudes could benefit from an existential analysis of guilt. We will see how five (5) US police
departments deal with the use of force, within their formal moral discourse. The task-oriented attitude could focus
either on constitutional rights, or on the « raison d’être » of police departments. The attitude of police officers could
be more or less relationship-focused. Finally, the socially/institutionally-grounded attitude could be value-centered,
while neglecting to deal with the use of force. We actually use Kierkegaard’s notions of aesthetic and ethical life-view.
Using Kierkegaard’s notion of aesthetic/ethical life-view would be helpful for designing in-service training sessions forpolice officers, more particularly, when such training sessions are dealing with the use of force and the feeling of guilt.
Literature about the use of force/feeling of guilt by police officers has neglected to consider the existential dimension
of guilt. The focus of the paper is to fill the gap between police discourses about the use of force and existential
dimensions of guilt.

IAFORThe International Academic Forum
Academic Vision and Mission“To Open Minds, To Educate Intelligence, To Inform Decisions”
The vision of IAFOR grew out of the perceived need to fill a vacuum in the communication and exchange activities of the academic
world. Its mission arose out of examining that space and investigating why it existed. The vacuum existed because of the lack ofopportunity for serious and thoughtful exchange between academics, members of the global business community, and practitioners
in the fields of human endeavor that linked these groups together. In the field of education, for example, we have academic theorists,
educational managers (political decision-makers and organizational directors) and classroom teachers with their support staff in IT,
library work, exchange programs, and specialist fields. But how often do they have the opportunity to interact?
Moving beyond one particular field, larger questions arise. What function should universities prioritize in the 21st century? What
do businesses see as their contribution to social and global well being? How can people on the ground, trying to implement
improvements that will transform human life, best be supported? And perhaps above all, what are the agendas that will drive
mechanisms to enable these groups to interact effectively.
One piece of distilled thought that came from early exchanges at one of our conferences was the recognition that some of therhetoric of concern about the problems of developing nations was perhaps over-focused on the term “poverty” because it can be
defined only in a relative way. “Hunger” was put forward as being more immediate and itself a contributory factor to poverty, rather
than the other way round. One key to the hunger issue could be the provision of safe drinking water, or water for irrigation in somecontexts, while flood management might be necessary elsewhere. These, in and by themselves become valuable only insofar as they
help to relieve hunger in specific contexts.
IAFOR is affording opportunities that do not exist elsewhere. The base is Kansai, Japan’s great commercial and manufacturing hub,
one symbol of the emerging Pacific economy that is already eclipsing the long dominant Atlantic zone. Our conferences present
those taking part with three unique dimensions of experience. First of all, it encourages interdisciplinary activity to be expanded.
Depending on the field, this can face varying degrees of difficulty, ranging from discouragement to downright prohibition. Those
overly dependent on fixed academic structures often see lateral thinking as a threat. None of these negatives apply in IAFOR. Its
purpose is to generate new approaches that cross any disciplinary lines. The principle employed is to let the imagination permit
intuitive responses to questions. There are no panels of critics. There are simply people who want to listen and reflect. The model ofacademic work as potholing is replaced by the metaphor of mountaineering. While respecting the need for solid and well-founded
academic work, we feel the need to go beyond it from time to time to discover fresh approaches to old questions.
Secondly, it facilitates the heightening of intercultural awareness. Again, we encourage innovation through cross-cultural perception.
Cultural roots influence people in their attitudes more than most would realize or admit. The need to see and internalize insights
gained from other viewpoints is met by a process of steady illumination.
Thirdly, it promotes the broadening of international exchange. We may live in a globalized world, but in reality parochialism still holds
sway. The collapse of the U.S.S.R and the break-up of Yugoslavia led to the re-establishment of numerous former countries. While
this may be desirable for the peoples concerned, it merely adds to the world’s cultural confusion. Exchange leads to explanation andthat helps the growth of intercultural awareness.
IAFOR makes all of these developments possible in one gathering. Our conferences are not a substitute for specialist conferences.
We intend our events to be an alternative that functions as a balance or even a corrective to the extreme tendencies that can arise
from more narrowly defined research parameters. In short, IAFOR is promoting and facilitating a new multifaceted approach to oneof the core issues of our time, namely globalization and its many forms of growth and expansion. Awareness of how it cuts acrossthe worlds of business, and academia, along with its impact on societies and institutions is one of the driving forces that has given
the organization its momentum, and is making it a pioneer in this global age.

Journal Editors may accept papers through an open call, and proposed articles may be sent directly
to the respective editors. A small number of papers from the associated IAFOR conference
proceedings may also be selected by the journal editor(s) for reworking and revising subject tonormal processes of review. It is expected that between 5 and 10 percent of papers included inany given conference proceedings will be developed for inclusion in the associated conference
journal.
How are IAFOR Journals related to IAFOR conferences?
IAFOR’s journals reflect the interdisciplinary and international nature of our conferences andare organized thematically.
