This book is an excellent text for marketing, administration, tourism, and commercial recreation courses, as well as for practitioners! The authors discuss the use of persuasive techniques to reduce vandalism, develop acceptance of price increases, ensure visitor safety, and optimise tourism advertising. They also examine behavioural systems framework, mass communication research, research in tourism advertising, and more! Social psychology and mass communications principles will help students and practitioners meet communication challenges.

Anyone can be a quiet influencer. But not everyone knows how. By understanding how social influence works, we can decide when to resist and when to embrace it-and learn how we can use this knowledge to exercise more control over our own behavior.

You have the power to influence people. Do you want to learn how to use it effectively? Influencing others can have a positive effect on their lives. When you are influential, people are more likely to follow your guidance. Do you want to harness the power of influence? Do you want to develop your persuasion skills? Do you want to learn how to silently control people's behavior? If so, then you're in the right place. To influence people, you have to understand human behavior; how a person thinks, feels, and reacts in various situations. You should know... Your influence is more powerful than you think. You can change people's perspectives and choices. You can control how a person behaves. You just have to know when to do it, and when NOT to do it. Here are some of the key points that you will learn in Influence Human Behavior How you can influence human behavior How you can predict human behavior How you can have the power to influence people How to be more influential Understanding the dark side of influence How to control people silently ...and many more techniques! Start thinking of influence as a gift. This is a skill that you can master and learn. You can also learn to protect yourself from people who are trying to use dark influence on you.

You think that your choices and behaviors are driven by your individual, personal tastes, and opinions. Our own personal thoughts and opinions is patently obvious. Right? Wrong. Other people's behavior has a huge influence on everything we do, from the mundane to the momentous. Berger integrates research and thinking from business, psychology, and social science to focus on the subtle, invisible influences behind our choices as individuals

This volume summarizes the state-of-the-art in the fast growing research area of modeling the influence of information-driven human behavior on the spread and control of infectious diseases. In particular, it features the two main and inter-related “core” topics: behavioral changes in response to global threats, for example, pandemic influenza, and the pseudo-rational opposition to vaccines. In order to make realistic predictions, modelers need to go beyond classical mathematical epidemiology to take these dynamic effects into account. With contributions from experts in this field, the book fills a void in the literature. It goes beyond classical texts, yet preserves the rationale of many of them by sticking to the underlying biology without compromising on scientific rigor. Epidemiologists, theoretical biologists, biophysicists, applied mathematicians, and PhD students will benefit from this book. However, it is also written for Public Health professionals interested in understanding models, and to advanced undergraduate students, since it only requires a working knowledge of mathematical epidemiology.

What do evolutionary science and contextual behavioral science have in common? Edited by David Sloan Wilson and Steven C. Hayes, this groundbreaking book offers a glimpse into the histories of these two schools of thought, and provides a sound rationale for their reintegration. Evolutionary science (ES) provides a unifying theoretical framework for the biological sciences, and is increasingly being applied to the human-related sciences. Meanwhile, contextual behavioral science (CBS) seeks to understand the history and function of human behavior in the context of everyday life where behaviors occur, and to influence behavior in a practical sense. This volume seeks to integrate these two bodies of knowledge that have developed largely independently. In Evolution and Contextual Behavioral Science, two renowned experts in their fields argue why ES and CBS are intrinsically linked, as well as why their reintegration—or, reunification—is essential. The main purpose of this book is to continue to move CBS under the umbrella of ES, and to help evolutionary scientists understand how working alongside contextual behavioral scientists can foster both the development of ES principles and their application to practical situations. Rather than the sequential relationship that is typically imagined between these two schools of thought, this volume envisions a parallel relationship between ES and CBS, where science can best influence positive change in the real world.
