Although the role that psychological knowledge can play in informing social policy decisions has been discussed for a long time, psychologists by and large have had little role in framing policy decisions related to such important domains as education, health, social justice and social inclusion. Policy makers, not only in India, but more or less everywhere have focused on interventions at the macro level, which has led them to ignore the root causes of the problems lying at the micro level. However, with the more humanistic approaches now being followed by economists and other social scientists, the person in society is slowly taking centrestage. Micro-level variables like happiness, the wellbeing of individuals and the social relationships within which people define themselves are becoming important. Therefore, this book discusses important psychological issues related to human development; particularly, health and education, social justice, social integration, environment and work organizations, besides focusing on some general issues relating to the logic of making social policies. It is a first-ever attempt in India to inform policy makers about how micro-variables can be a crucial factor to consider while framing social policies. 000695187 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000695187 650_0 $$aPsychology$$zIndia. 000695187 651_0 $$aIndia$$xSocial policy. 000695187 651_0 $$aIndia$$xSocial conditions. 000695187 7001_ $$aTripathi, Rama Charan,$$eeditor of compilation. 000695187 7001_ $$aSinha, Yoganand,$$eeditor of compilation. 000695187 77608 $$iPrint version:$$tPsychology, development and social policy in India$$z9788132210023$$w(OCoLC)829680353 000695187 85280 $$bebk$$hSpringerLink 000695187 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-81-322-1003-0$$zOnline Access 000695187 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:695187$$pGLOBAL_SET 000695187 980__ $$aEBOOK 000695187 980__ $$aBIB 000695187 982__ $$aEbook 000695187 983__ $$aOnline 000695187 994__ $$a92$$bISE
