Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Cognitive Science
  • Psychoanalysis

Background:

  • Cognitive styles influence emotional regulation.
  • Bion's categorization offers a framework for understanding cognitive processes.
  • Emotional modulation, particularly hostile content, can be analyzed through speech patterns.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between Bion's cognitive styles and emotional modulation (hostile content).
  • To explore how cognitive processes relate to expressions of hostility in speech.

Main Methods:

  • Applied Bion's cognitive style categorization.
  • Utilized the Gottschalk, et al. method to analyze hostile content in speech.
  • Collected speech samples from 30 undergraduate students (20 female, 10 male) aged 20-35.

Main Results:

  • A significant relationship was identified between hostile attitude and cognitive styles.
  • Individuals with lower hostility exhibited more frequent use of Bion's D2 processes.
  • D2 processes involve expectancy, waiting, and defending internal psychological themas.

Conclusions:

  • Cognitive styles and emotional modulation, specifically hostility, are interconnected.
  • Less hostile individuals may utilize cognitive strategies characterized by openness and internal defense.
  • Findings contribute to understanding the interplay between cognition and emotional expression.
