Marketing and Sales
Authors: Franses Philip Hans 
Published: February 2013

AbstractSales forecasts are important for inventory management and for marketing. Inventories can be kept at appropriate levels, and marketing efforts can be addressed in the event that sales projections do not meet a firm's aspirations. This article discusses forecasting methods for durable products, such as high-definition television and hybrid cars, and methods for regularly purchased stock keeping unit (SKU) products like food products. Section 2 begins with durable products. The typical model used for forecasting is the Bass (1969) model, or one of its many variants, which can be extended to capture sales of sequential generations, and multilevel versions are also available. This section reviews various recent developments concerning the Bass model. Section 3 deals with forecasting SKU-level sales data. Due to the fact that such forecasts have to be made on a frequent basis, and also for many products at the same time, it is quite common to have automated programs generate forecasts and to have managers give those forecasts a final twist. Recently this practice has become the topic of much research because of the availability of detailed databases. A review of the findings in this literature is provided. The final section suggests a summary of the current state of the art and gives a few further research topics.
American Indian Poetry at the Dawn of Modernism
Authors: Parker Robert Dale 
Published: February 2013

AbstractScholars and readers of American poetry in general and American Indian poetry in particular generally assume that American Indian poetry begins in the late 1960s with the American Indian Renaissance. Even among scholars of American Indian literature, let alone scholars of American poetry in general, few readers can name more than, at most, a few American Indian poets before N. Scott Momaday. But indigenous people in what is now the United States have written poetry since the time of Anne Bradstreet, and the 1890s and the early twentieth century brought an effusion of Indian-written poetry. Poems by more than ninety different American Indians writing from 1900 to 1930 have been found. The anthology Changing Is Not Vanishing: A Collection of American Indian Poetry to 1930 showcases the work of eighty-three poets and provides a bibliography that lists almost 150 Indian poets up to 1930. While Indian poets wrote about the same range of topics as non-Indian poets, they also brought their interests and experiences as Indians to bear on their poems. This article discusses how these poems address colonialism and the federal government, land, the condition of the world in general, nature, Christianity, love, war, other Indian peoples, and the temptation to internalize anti-Indian ways of thinking.
“Jeweled Bindings”
Authors: Girard Melissa 
Published: February 2013

AbstractThis article charts the making-conventional of modernist women's poetry: a critical and institutional process that began in the modernist era, accelerated with the New Criticism, and persists stubbornly into our present moment. It argues that modernist women poets continue to face charges of sentimentality and, hence, conventionality even today. Although the article focuses on Bogan, Millay, Taggard, and Wylie, it suggests the need to take a decidedly unsentimental look at a much broader field of modernist women's poetries. Sentimentalism, in this modernist context, is a compromise position. It has given us a language for revaluing this poetry, but one that never quite fit. To correct these longstanding misconceptions, we need to restore to these poets the distinctively modernist discourses that they produced and that once surrounded their poetries.
Cézanne’s Ideal of “Realization”
Authors: Altieri Charles 
Published: February 2013

AbstractThis article elaborates what American modernist poets shared as they tried to appropriate aspects of the painters' projects while refusing slavish imitation and visible envy of the painters' centrality. There is much more at stake than learning how to adapt painterly collage. To adapt to a modernism defined primarily in the visual arts, they would have reconciled on their own terms the contrast in the epigraphs between Fry's formalism and Lawrence's sense of Cézanne's introducing a new relationship to matter and to energy. Because the best and most influential grappling with these issues is believed to take place in the later work of Cézanne, the article concentrates on the implicit theorizing that frames his use of the term “réalization” for his painterly quest. This concern puts the energies that form carries into dialogue with the possibilities of an artist providing a new yet plausible sense of the real, despite rejecting traditional representational paths to realist ends. It is argued that modernist poets adapt virtually the same strategies for their grappling with how a different medium might provide its own convincing access to what it could treat as reality.
American Poetry, Prayer, and the News
Authors: Ramazani Jahan 
Published: February 2013

AbstractTwentieth-century American poetry metabolizes a variety of discursive genres, including fiction, song, theory, advertising, letters, and the law. To adapt Mikhail Bakhtin's terms, it dialogizes “literary and extraliterary languages,” “intensifying” and “hybridizing” them, making them collide and rub up against one another. But Bakhtin famously theorized poetry as monologic and exclusionary, “suspended from any mutual interaction with alien discourse, any allusion to alien discourse,” “destroying all traces of social heteroglossia and diversity of language”: “The language of the poetic genre is a unitary and singular Ptolemaic world outside of which nothing else exists and nothing else is needed.” Close analysis of twentieth-century American poems in relation to their generic others reveals a vastly more dialogic conception of poetry. This article focuses on poetry's ambivalent interactions with two of its generic others: the news and prayer as representing two widely divergent positions on a broad discursive spectrum. How do modern and contemporary American poems that engage with the news respond to journalism's mimeticism, presentism, and transparency? How do poems that adapt prayer respond to its ahistoricity, ritualism, and recursiveness? Do modern and contemporary American poetry more nearly resemble one or the other of its discursive cousins? How does American poetry overlap with, and distinguish itself from, these intergenres?
Fieldwork in New American Poetry
Authors: Shaw Lytle 
Published: February 2013

AbstractOften in close dialogue with the place-based poetries of William Carlos Williams and Charles Olson, the New American poets of the 1950s and 1960s sought to dismantle and reinvent the concept of history both by reorienting it toward notions of temporality borrowed from anthropology and by grounding it within concrete spatial locations. This reinvention at once mobilized previously excluded versions of the cultural past and authorized new modes of lived experience in the present, especially in the place-based rural social formations poets increasingly constructed. To frame these emergent models of living, poets reinvented themselves as “fieldworkers” in the dual sense of working with spatially specific locations and with the authority of the disciplinary fields that might explain or contextualize those literal spaces. Over the course of the 1960s the poetry of a lone researcher offering his results to futurity was no longer seen as sufficient. Poets sought, instead, to live the experimental polis now, to enact it in daily life. As they did so, they externalized many features of Olson's practice in particular—turning his personal cosmology into a range of more public discourses. This article traces this process by charting how transformative readings of Olson were crucial to two seemingly opposite discourses that emerged in the 1960s: the back-to-the-land ecopoetics of Gary Snyder, grounded in part in his familial compound, Kitkitdizze, in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains; and the Black Nationalism of Amiri Baraka, grounded in the city of Newark, New Jersey.
Disability Poetics
Authors: Davidson Michael 
Published: February 2013

AbstractThis article presents an overview of disability poetics that addresses not only poets associated with the movement but also a wide range of poets not typically associated with their disabilities. It argues that disability poetics does not describe a movement or an aesthetic so much as a spectrum of positions around embodiment—from poets like Eigner who seldom referred to his neurological condition to self-consciously “crip” poets for whom poetry is an arm (or leg) of the disability rights movement. It also describes the degree to which poetry is constituted by and within ideas of embodiment, from the “oral” tradition to the foot metric to the most recent versions of stand-up (or sit-down) performance. The twin terms resonate loudly in the U.S. context where ideas of embodiment have been synonymous with antinomian positions of self-reliance and independence, and for which dependence and communality are deemed threatening or, in the worst case, un-American. A disability poetics, while forged within the liberating ethos of the Independent Living movement, creates a site where the putative normalcy of bodies, sensations, and agency can be understood differently. If this has been poetry's ancient heritage, it is also disability's utopian horizon.
Green Reading
Authors: Keller Lynn 
Published: February 2013

AbstractThis article suggests that the canon of poetic works considered by ecocritics needs to expand so as to include not only more writing based in environments other than “nature” and “wilderness” but also more linguistically experimental, “postmodern” writing. It discusses a few key “nature poets” in order to identify some significant issues in modern American nature poetry involving the relation of humankind and human culture to the green world. It then looks beyond nature poetry to other environmental tropes and beyond conventionally realist writing to other poetics.
Transnationalism and Diaspora in American Poetry
Authors: Yu Timothy 
Published: February 2013

AbstractThis article explores how literary-critical understanding of modern and contemporary American poetry is shifting under the pressure of transnational and diasporic forces. Drawing on several case studies aimed at illuminating what it means to read American poetry transnationally, it argues that transnational and diasporic perspectives encourage us to view the United States as a node of political, economic, and cultural exchange, in which the crossing of borders has become constitutive of Americanness rather than external to it, and invite us to examine how such border crossings are registered in the content and it invite forms of modern and contemporary American poetry. In contrast to the seeming solidity of national identities, diasporic identifications are often ambivalent, acknowledging the pull of multiple histories while remaining at a critical distance from any single location.
Traumatic Stress Disorders in Children and Adolescents
Authors: La Greca Annette M. , Taylor Cortney J. , Herge Whitney M. 
Published: February 2013

AbstractMany children and adolescents who experience potentially traumatic events, such as natural disasters, acts of violence, physical injuries, child abuse, and life-threatening medical illnesses, display significant stress symptoms. In fact, these potentially traumatic events can lead to the development of acute stress disorder (ASD) and/or posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and cause significant psychological impairment. In this chapter, we discuss the types of potentially traumatic events that lead to ASD or PTSD in youth, as well as various aspects of trauma exposure. We next review available evidence on the definition, prevalence, and course of ASD and PTSD in youth, and the risk factors associated with their development. To date, relatively few studies have examined ASD and existing evidence calls into question the validity of dissociative symptoms as part of the existing ASD diagnostic criteria for youth. In contrast, many studies have evaluated PTSD and its symptoms in youth exposed to trauma, although PTSD prevalence rates vary substantially depending on a host of factors, including the type of traumatic event experienced, the degree of exposure to the event, and the informant for PTSD symptoms, among other factors. We also discuss developmental considerations for the ASD and PTSD diagnoses and directions for future research. The chapter closes with a brief summary of proposed changes to the diagnostic criteria for ASD and PTSD in youth that are being considered for the DSM-5.
Risk and Protective Factors for Traumatic Stress Disorders
Authors: King Lynda A. , Pless Kaiser Anica , Schuster Wachen Jennifer , Potter Carrie M. , Park Crystal L. , Spiro Avron , King Daniel W. 
Published: February 2013

AbstractThis chapter provides an overview of risk and protective factors that may account for posttraumatic responses. In addition to risk and protective factors specifically for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), the outcomes of resilience and posttraumatic growth are considered. Emphasis is placed on the importance of a longitudinal and especially a lifespan developmental framework to understand both the short- and long-term implications of trauma exposure and the factors that influence its consequences. A brief introduction to methodological approaches for documenting longitudinal change is presented, followed by suggestions for future research.
Promising Psychological Treatments
Authors: Kearns Megan C. , Rothbaum Barbara O. 
Published: February 2013

AbstractExposure to traumatic events is highly prevalent, which has led to the creation of multiple psychosocial and pharmacological treatment approaches for individuals who subsequently develop posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Despite the availability of existing empirically supported treatments for PTSD, research indicates that a significant subset of patients fail to respond to treatment. As a result, there is a great need for the development of novel and innovative treatments that can address the diverse needs of individuals with trauma histories and that can alleviate symptoms of traumatic stress in a greater number of individuals. The following chapter outlines numerous promising treatments, including couple and family-based approaches, technological approaches, emotion-based therapies, pharmacological treatments, and treatments designed to address comorbidity. Although many of these approaches are in preliminary stages of development and require further study, they represent important progress in helping clinicians better serve the many needs of individuals with PTSD.
Introduction: The Contours of Contemporary Free-Will Debates (Part 2)
Authors: Kane Robert 
Published: February 2013

AbstractThis article describes the contours of contemporary debates about free will and provides an overview of the topics in this volume. It considers the following issues: free will and conflicting views about persons; the determinist question and modern science; the compatibility question and arguments for incompatibilism; classical compatibilism; new compatibilist approaches to freedom and responsibility; moral responsibility and alternative possibilities; libertarian or incompatibilist theories of free will; further views and debates on hard determinism, hard incompatibilism, free-will skepticism, illusionism, revisionism, promises, and rollbacks; neuroscience, psychology, experimental philosophy, and free will; divine foreknowledge, human freedom, and theological dimensions of free-will debates.
Contemporary Compatibilism: Mesh Theories and Reasons-Responsive Theories
Authors: McKenna Michael 
Published: February 2013

AbstractThis article considers two of the most widely discussed types of new compatibilist theories under the headings of “mesh theories” and “reasons-responsive theories.” The first part of the article examines hierarchical theories, focusing initially on Frankfurt's theory, which is the most widely discussed of such theories. It considers three kinds of objections that have been made of Frankfurt's hierarchical theory—concerning manipulation, weakness of will, and“identification” with higher-order desires. The second part turns to reasons-responsive compatibilist views of free agency. Such views require that for agents to be free and responsible, they must be “responsive to reasons,” in the sense that they must be able to recognize and evaluate reasons for action, and be able to act in some manner that is sensitive to a suitable range of reasons.
Alternatives for Libertarians
Authors: Clarke Randolph 
Published: February 2013

AbstractThis article discusses objections to all three kinds of libertarian theory. It first reprises and further develops criticisms of noncausalist and event-causal (EC) libertarian theories. It argues that libertarian theories of both kinds face as yet unresolved problems including issue about luck and control, the requirements of intentional action, and the role of psychological causes in free agency. It then turns to agent-causal theories. It explains reasons for doubting the possibility of “causation by an enduring substance, which does not consist in causation by events involving that substance” (such as agent-causal theorists propose), and concludes on a skeptical note about the viability of libertarian accounts of free will generally.
Rethinking Free Will: New Perspectives on an Ancient Problem
Authors: Kane Robert 
Published: February 2013

AbstractThis article discusses and defends a “centered” EC libertarian view of free will that places the indeterminism in choices or decisions themselves. Libertarian views were either agent-causal or noncausalist, or some combination of the two. The possibility of an alternative (centered) causal indeterminist or EC view was suggested by a number of thinkers. This article discusses these refinements after summarizing the centered EC theory and motivations for formulating it. It considers issues about self-forming actions, efforts of will, the phenomenology of free decision making, the relation of the theory to neuroscience, complex dynamical systems, agency and control of decisions given indeterminism, and responses to alleged regresses attending the view, including issues about the first self-forming actions of childhood. It also responds to a number of different versions of the so-called “luck objection” against libertarian free will.
Motivation, Personality, and Development Within Embedded Social Contexts: An Overview of Self-Determination Theory
Authors: Deci Edward L. , Ryan Richard M. 
Published: February 2013

AbstractSelf-determination theory maintains and has provided empirical support for the proposition that all human beings have fundamental psychological needs to be competent, autonomous, and related to others. Satisfaction of these basic needs facilitates people's autonomous motivation (i.e., acting with a sense of full endorsement and volition), whereas thwarting the needs promotes controlled motivation (i.e., feeling pressured to behave in particular ways) or being amotivated (i.e., lacking intentionality). Satisfying these basic needs and acting autonomously have been consistently shown to be associated with psychological health and effective performance. Social contexts within which people operate, however proximal (e.g., a family or workgroup) or distal (e.g., a cultural value or economic system), affect their need satisfaction and type of motivation, thus affecting their wellness and effectiveness. Social contexts also affect whether people's life goals or aspirations tend to be more intrinsic or more extrinsic, and that in turn affects important life outcomes.
Ego Depletion: Theory and Evidence
Authors: Muraven Mark 
Published: February 2013

AbstractSelf-control all too often fails. Despite people's best intentions and considerable negative outcomes, people often find themselves at the losing end of resisting temptation, combating urges, and changing their behavior. One reason for these failures may be that exerting self-control depletes a limited resource (ego depletion) that is necessary for the success of self-control. Hence, after exerting self-control individuals are less able to resist temptations, fight urges, or stop a behavior, which results in a loss of self-control. This chapter reviews the evidence for this theory in a wide variety of domains and examines what behaviors appear to deplete ego strength and how depletion affects behavior. A comprehensive theory that examines how depletion operates is put forth and this theory is used to examine some factors that might moderate the depletion effect.
Implicit–Explicit Motive Congruence
Authors: Thrash Todd M. , Maruskin Laura A. , Martin Chris C. 
Published: February 2013

AbstractThis chapter reviews the literature on congruence (consistency) between implicit (unconscious) and explicit (conscious) motives. The prevailing wisdom that implicit and explicit motives are uncorrelated is shown to be incorrect. When methodological shortcomings of past research (e.g., unreliability of measurement) are overcome, implicit and explicit motives are positively correlated. Nevertheless, the relation is weak enough that the discrepancy between implicit and explicit motives carries important information about personality congruence. The relation between implicit and explicit motives has been found to vary systematically and meaningfully as a function of substantive moderator variables, such as self-determination and self-monitoring. Motive congruence is predicted distally by satisfaction of basic needs during childhood and proximally by stress among individuals who have difficulty regulating affect. Motive congruence predicts important outcomes, including volitional strength, flow, and well-being. The chapter closes with a discussion of future research directions, such as the distinction between congruence and integration constructs.
Work Motivation: Directing, Energizing, and Maintaining Effort (and Research)
Authors: Grant Adam M. , Shin Jihae 
Published: February 2013

AbstractThis chapter provides an overview of contemporary research on work motivation. We start by identifying the central premises, controversies, and unanswered questions related to five core theoretical perspectives on work motivation: expectancy theory, equity theory, goal-setting theory, job design, and self-determination theory. We then discuss four current topics and new directions: collective motivation and organizing, temporal dynamics, creativity, and the effects of rewards.
The power of culture
Authors: Plotkin Henry 
Published: February 2013

AbstractMankind's natural place is in culture, and culture is a part of human biology because it is biology that gives humans the ability to enter into culture. For this reason any contrast or opposition that is made between biology and culture, or between genes and culture, or between evolution and culture, is an expression of a wholly wrong conception of the causal structure of the world. Culture is not an entity whose causal force can be placed in a different physical (or metaphysical) realm from the causal forces exerted by genes, or the concatenation of natural selection pressures that have moulded human evolution. The human capacity for culture is a product of evolution and is as natural as having a bipedal gait or an opposable thumb.
