Research on European and European American families suggests that parents' differential treatment of siblings has negative implications for youths' adjustment, but few studies have explored these dynamics in minority samples. This study examined parents' differential acceptance and conflict in a sample of mothers, fathers, and two adolescent siblings in 179 African American families who were interviewed on three annual occasions. In an effort to replicate findings from European and European American samples, we assessed the longitudinal associations between differential treatment and adolescent adjustment and tested three sibling characteristics (birth order, gender, and dyad gender composition) as potential moderators of these linkages. To illuminate the sociocultural context of differential treatment and its implications, we also explored parents' cultural socialization practices and experiences of financial stress as potential moderators of these links. Multilevel models revealed that, controlling for average parent–child relationship qualities, decreases in parental acceptance and increases in parent–youth conflict over time—relative to the sibling—were associated with increases in youths' risky behavior and depressive symptoms. Links between differential treatment and adjustment were not evident, however, when mothers engaged in high levels of cultural socialization and in families under high financial stress. The discussion highlights the significance of sociocultural factors in family dynamics. 相似文献
What influences how people implicitly associate “past” and “future” with “front” and “back?” Whereas previous research has shown that cultural attitudes toward time play a role in modulating space‐time mappings in people's mental models (de la Fuente, Santiago, Román, Dumitrache & Casasanto, 2014), we investigated real life experiences as potential additional influences on these implicit associations. Participants within the same single culture, who are engaged in different intermediate‐term educational experiences (Study 1), long‐term living experiences (Study 2), and short‐term visiting experiences (Study 3), showed their distinct differences in temporal focus, thereby influencing their implicit spatializations of time. Results across samples suggest that personal attitudes toward time related to real life experiences may influence people's space‐time mappings. The findings we report on shed further light on the high flexibility of human conceptualization system. While culture may exert an important influence on temporal focus, a person's conceptualization of time may be attributed to a culmination of factors. 相似文献
Freud introduced the concept of psychical reality as a consequence of abandoning the theory of seduction, and although this meant a turning point in his theoretical thinking he never defined the concept concisely and systematically. Thus it is possible to delineate at least two meanings of psychical reality that run through Freud´s writings as well as the writings of contemporary analysts. On the one hand psychical reality encompasses the whole field of subjective experiences. On the other, it is understood more narrowly as a transformation of experiences in the unconscious.
Substituting the idea of different meanings ascribed to Freud´s concept this article proposes to differentiate between levels in the psyche with the main focus on the unconscious level of the dream and of phantasy and the real unconscious. Starting from the most superficial level of subjective reality the text moves to that of fantasy formation illustrated by primarily Freud´s text on `A child is being beaten´. Adding Laplanche´s translational model the article ends up at the deepest level represented by the late Lacan and his concept of the real Unconscious.
The paper concludes that the term real points to something exceeding symbolization and the imaginary—thus escaping comprehension—and yet is absolutely indispensable to the organization of unconscious processes. 相似文献
RESUMENEn este articulo se revisan los estudios psicológicos sobre el proceso de envejecimiento y se sugiere una forma nueva y más apropiada de acceder y entender al anciano. Para ello comienza constatando que hoy día asistimos a un progresivo envejecimiento de la población en el mudo occidental, reseñando algunos datos demográficos y socio-culturales que sitúan su exposición y reflexión en el marco histórico actual. En su revisión se tartan, entre otras cuestiones, el interes por la tercera edad e imagen negativa de la misma o las relaciones entre la sociedad de consumo y ancianidad, centrando sus críticas en el modelo del deterioro, que justifica con los resultados de diversos estudios experimentales acerca del rendimiento intelectual, condiciones de motivación, capacidad de aprendizaje o modificación de las actitudes psicomotoras, entre otros. A continuación expone tres problemas fundamentales característicos del proceso de envejecimiento (climaterio, jubilación y crisis de identidad) que constribuyen a esclarecer toda la problemática y le permite presentar algunas sugerencias y conclusiones. Entre ellas, destacamos la no valided de la curva generalizada del deterioro y la irrelevancia relativa de la edad cronológica como causa del proceso de envejecimiento, quedando patente el gran número de factores que influyen en él. El autor finaliza resaltando la importancia de una psicología diferencial del proceso de envejecimiento que, tomando en consideración los factores sociales y con una colaboración interdisciplinar, consiga que la población que envejece vivencie la vejez como positiva. 相似文献
ResumenEn este artículo se exponen las estrategias de segunda generación que, dentro del ámbito de investigación de la Psicología Diferencial Cognosátiva, se consideran más representativas, a saber: el análisis componencial, el análisis factorial confirmatorio, y el análisis de rasgo latente. Estas estrategias de investigación en Psicología Diferencial Cognoscitiva tienen, en contraste con las estrategias de primera generación, un dominio de aplicación más amplio. Tanto las estrategias de primera como las de segunda generación pueden ser utilizadas conjuntamente, siempre de acuerdo a las consideraáones teóricas de interés que trate de analizar el investigador. 相似文献
Abstract: We investigated a transfer from an operant experimental situation to a feeding situation in pigeons using real objects as stimuli. Four pigeons were trained in an operant box to categorize familiar edible items as positives and inedible items as negatives with a go/no‐go procedure. Next, two pairs of unfamiliar edible items were added as stimuli. One of the paired stimuli was arbitrarily assigned as positive and the other as negative. We tested the subjects in their home cages to see whether they would feed on the items they were trained to categorize as positives. In three of the six cases in which categorization training was successful, they continued to peck the positive items. This result suggests that the pigeons transfer what they learned in the operant training situation to the feeding situation. 相似文献
RESUMENLos autores enmarcan en sus coordenadas temporales y teóricas la obra de Royce y Powell, analizando en profundidad sus implicaciones. Consideran que el análisis estadístico multivariado, especialmente factorial, que la psicología diferencial ha adoptado desde hace algunos años resulta particularmente adecuado a la hora de desglosar inductivamente los contenidos y datos de la realidad. Sugieren que Royce y Powell presentan la esencia del nuevo enfoque, recogiendo aportaciones de la Teoría de la Información y de la Teoría General de Sistemas. Destacan, entre otras cuestiones, que la Teoría multifactorial-sistemática incluya el concepto de tipo, enfatice tanto las derivaciones cognitivas como afectivas y posibilite una evaluación comprehensiva de la persona en función de los perfiles en cada uno de los subsistemas. Sin embargo, encuentran susceptible de discusión el recurrir a un modelo jerárquico para estructurar el supra-sistema (la personalidad) y cada sub-sistema. Los autores consideran que la psicología diferencial, a través de estructuraciones como la de Royce y Powell, muestra que la validez ecológica nunca ha estado al margen de sus objetivos y presupuestos, y terminan afirmando que esta disciplina sintoniza con los nuevos paradigmas en psicología fiel a sus métodos y herramientas, pero abierta a desafíos tanto teóricos como empíricos. 相似文献
The natural course of complex posttraumatic disorders typically consists of a gradual “social breakdown.” Sufferers and their partners (e.g., parents, siblings, and lifemates) become increasingly avoidant of opportunities for intimacy. The proposed mechanism for the breakdown is the sufferers' method of testing others' trustworthiness. They test unproductively, repetitively, without closure either way. Partners misunderstand it as manipulation for trivial wants or instigation to replicate old betrayals. Patients often suffer social breakdown despite psychotherapy. Tempted to experiment in intimate relationships privately, outside therapy, they become hopeless faster than gains in therapy can generalize. I present a psychotherapy model to avert this breakdown: Clinicians and patients jointly stage experiments with intimacy in the relationships that matter from the beginning of therapy. 相似文献
