An argument that individuals and collectives form memories by analogous processes and a case study of collective retrograde amnesia. We form individual memories by a process known as consolidation: the conversion of immediate and fleeting bits of information into a stable and accessible representation of facts and events. These memories provide a version of the past that helps us navigate the present and is critical to individual identity. In this book, Thomas Anastasio, Kristen Ann Ehrenberger, Patrick Watson, and Wenyi Zhang propose that social groups form collective memories by analogous processes. Using facts and insights from neuroscience, psychology, anthropology, and history, they describe a single process of consolidation with analogous—not merely comparable—manifestations on any level, whether brain, family, or society. They propose a three-in-one model of memory consolidation, composed of a buffer, a relator, and a generalizer, all within the consolidating entity, that can explain memory consolidation phenomena on individual and collective levels. When consolidation is disrupted by traumatic injury to a brain structure known as the hippocampus, memories in the process of being consolidated are lost. In individuals, this is known as retrograde amnesia. The authors hypothesize a "social hippocampus" and argue that disruption at the collective level can result in collective retrograde amnesia. They offer the Chinese Cultural Revolution (1966–1976) as an example of trauma to the social hippocampus and present evidence for the loss of recent collective memory in mainland Chinese populations that experienced the Cultural Revolution.

Thoroughly revised and updated, this edition includes new integrative theories of student development, expanded coverage of social identity theories, a targeted focus on higher education-related research, a current review of student development research and application, and reconceptualization of typology theories as a way to understand individual differences. Praise for the Second Edition of STUDENT DEVELOPMENT IN COLLEGE "Student Development in College is a rich, comprehensive exploration of the major theoretical perspectives that inform development. The authors' attention to nuances and complexities results in a substantive history of theory development and a careful story about how various perspectives evolved yielding contemporary theorizing. The book is a masterful blend of theoretical lenses and their use in designing developmentally appropriate practice for diverse populations of contemporary college students. It is an excellent resource for all educators who work on college campuses." Marcia Baxter Magolda, Distinguished Professor, Educational Leadership, Miami University "This is an invaluable work for anyone seeking an introduction to college student development theories or those seeking to update their existing knowledge. It offers a thorough and complex review of both the foundational theories and the newer often more culturally relevant theories and models." Raechele L. Pope, program coordinator, Higher Education Program, University at Buffalo "The original book was a tremendous contribution to the field of higher education and especially student affairs. After more than ten years, this revision is a timely and focused enhancement to the literature that nurtures quality professionals to think differently about topics relevant to our field. Well done a second time around!" Gregory Roberts, executive director, ACPA College Student Educators International

Nurses strive to provide safe quality care to the patients they serve. Their extraordinary knowledge, skills, and compassion are second to none however, personal and worklife challenges contribute to feelings of burnout. Burnout, displayed in the form of emotional exhaustion, cynicism, and depersonalization, impacts nurses, organizations, and the provision of safe, quality care. Literature suggests that between 30-50% of nurses experience burnout (Zwickel et al., 2016), however, a recent study by Guixia and Hui (2020b) reports that during the COVID-19 pandemic as many as 81% of nurses experienced burnout. Despite substantial research on the prevalence and causes of burnout, research on ways to mitigate burnout are limited. Literature supports recognition as a way to increase employee satisfaction, engagement, and performance, while reducing burnout (Maslach, & Leiter, 2017), however there is a lack of understanding of "meaningful recognition". Lack of meaningful reward and recognition contributes to nursing burnout and impacts the nurses' ability to provide safe, quality care. Of consideration is the concept of recognition and what nurses consider "meaningful". Based on proof-of-concept evidence that for recognition to positively impact the recipient, recognition must be meaningful to the end recipient. The aim of this phenomenological study was to describe the lived experience of nurses as recipients of meaningful recognition and its relationship to burnout. A better understanding of how nurses experience burnout and perceive meaningful recognition adds to the current knowledge and will guide the development of effectual interventions to mitigate burnout. Twenty nurses completed a demographic questionnaire, the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Services Survey (MBI-HSS-MP) to measure burnout, and the Areas of Worklife Scale (AWS) Survey which measured job-person fit. The twenty participants were then interviewed using a semi-structured interview format, and analysis was completed using Colaizzi's method of phenomenological analysis. Three overarching themes emerged from the narratives. The first theme, The Harsh Realities of Burnout, uncovered the participants lived experiences with burnout, including the impact on their health, home life, and work life. Participants shared their experiences with mental and physical health problems, impacted relationships, and changes in their behaviors at work due to burnout. The second overarching theme, Recognition is Not the Same for Everyone, explored the participants experiences with and perceptions of recognition in the workplace, highlighting that perceptions of recognition vary greatly among nurses. Additionally, participants described in detail what meaningful recognition is. Finally, the third overarching theme, Meaningful Recognition to Reduce Burnout, examined participants views on how implementing meaningful recognition could reduce burnout. Participants overall felt that receiving more meaningful recognition would help them to feel more valued and appreciated which could reduce burnout. The findings and analysis of this study led to the development of a new definition of meaningful recognition; meaningful recognition is the personal, specific, and intentional acknowledgment of one's hard work or accomplishments in a way that is meaningful to the recipient. Future Research is needed to examine the organizations' role in preventing and alleviating burnout among their nurses. This study suggests the need for research to identify specific interventions organizations should employ to prevent or alleviate burnout, including ways to provide meaningful recognition that are feasible for units, hospitals, and organizations to institute and maintain. Finally, research on how meaningful recognition impacts burnout, turnover, patient outcomes, in addition to work relationships, workflow/productivity, and patient outcomes.
