- Summary:
- Psychological Perspectives on Empowerment opens with a discussion aiming to show how open source software communities indeed nurture empowerment in several senses. However, the authors also show that open source software communities pose several challenges to empowerment. As an example, numerous usability interventions in open source software development are analyzed, in which usability practitioners have offered their expertise. Next, this compilation assesses the extent to which empowerment, role stress, social support and perceived satisfaction of work differ with the implementation of an accreditation program. The relationships between the use of the internet for health purposes and patient empowerment are analyzed using e-health literacy as a mediator variable, providing relevant implications for health organizations. Lastly, the discourses of love and rape in relation to the female body are explored in the context of in The Salesman, an Oscar-winning Iranian film by Iranian filmmaker Asghar Farhadi.
