How do you think prople rationalize why they desire to be productive, from formerly being of a depressed, stubborn, or nonchalant mindset? If they've always been motivated, what values drive that desire? If it is spirituality or religion, what drives them to turn their moral compass turnt toward common good into actionability? What drives them to believe? To be clear, I am looking for core philosophical rationalizations as to why they might be motivated, or driven towards action in some way, shape, or form. submitted by /u/schodapop [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I'm attempting to write a researchers review on the relevance of comparative psychology in the present and the future. However, while reading papers I'm seeing the definition of this field is not easy to decipher, sharing a lot of commonality with evolutionary psychology, animal psychology, ethology, etc. I'm particularly confused because the 'superficial' or common definition to this field is comparing animal observations to humans. With researchers like Abramson (2018) putting the comparison aspect as the focus. However, it is also said the core is it's focus on evolution (Denenberg, 2003 ..read more

The attachment style studies were long ago enough to only include maternal attachment because fathers weren’t as involved in parenting. In today’s world, what happens when a child has a secure attachment to one parent but not the other? Let’s say the parents don’t live together, so the child functions as an anxious ambivalent at one house, but secure at the other. What attachment style would they grow into as an adult? On one hand, they would still have the low self esteem and other personality deficits associated with insecure attachment, yet potentially also have the capacity to hold a secu ..read more

I'm starting this social experiment to understand if AI can help with motivation. Do you know good places where I can find people interested in participating in this study? Either as participants or as psychology experts to analyze and interpret the results? The objective is to see if a short weekly call with an AI motivator can impact the motivation of a person. https://ai-cartel.com/dreams Thank you. submitted by /u/chaign_c [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

In my area, there is a certain motorcycle club that sports a big "1%" on the back of their leather jackets. I asked my dad about it and he said that a long time ago, some scientists or other people conducted a study and found that apparently 1% of people are "truly evil". I haven't been able to find anything on this on Google or anywhere else so I thought he was wrong. However, I saw this copypasta about (bear with me) "Mario, the Idea vs. Mario, the man" and it reignited my curiosity on the "1%" statement my dad made (thing pasted below if you haven't read it before). Although the whole thin ..read more

I'm finishing my degree in psychology. The focus of my degree is in clinical psychology and my favorite approach to psychotherapy is Lacanian psychoanalysis. I'm a newbie to this sub but I have noticed that people here tend to look down on psychoanalysis, something I didn't see during my undergraduate studies. I had contact with European and Latin American students and universities and this topic never came up in the way I see here. Which made me question whether this disbelief in relation to psychoanalysis and the "lack of science" (which is an extremely baseless argument) is something that ..read more
