The book critically examines Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), presenting it as a strategy for corporations to gain legitimacy among consumers and employees. Through various international case studies, it highlights how CSR often serves to advance exploitative and colonizing practices rather than genuine ethical engagement.
The Resolution is a coming-of-age story about a young man’s evolution into a warrior when his life is paused by a potentially lethal melee. The consequences of betrayal, distrust, and weakness become the guidelines to his survival in an epic inter-personal war in which no one questions, ‘How far is too far?’ Throughout his encounter with created and broken alliances, Rick’s identity shapes itself from the ashes and his ever-changing ideals tip the scales in favor of who will win and what the consequences for defeat will be. Rick may be impulsive, short-sighted, and violent, but his life hangs on a quality that unifies many—perseverance.”
Single-case research is a powerful method for examining change in outcome variables such as behaviour, performance and psychological constructs, and for assessing the efficacy of interventions. It has innumerable uses within the context of sport and exercise science, such as in the development of more effective performance techniques for athletes and sportspeople and in helping us to better understand exercise behaviours in clinical populations. However, the fundamental principles and techniques of single-case research have not always been clearly understood by students and researchers working in these fields. Single-Case Research Methods in Sport and Exercise Psychology is the first book to fully explain single-case research in the context of sport and exercise. Starting with first principles, the book offers a comprehensive introduction to the single-case research process, from study design to data analysis and presentation. Including case studies and examples from across sport and exercise psychology, the book provides practical guidance for students and researchers and demonstrates the advantages and common pitfalls of single-case research for anybody working in applied or behavioural science in a sport or exercise setting.
