Groupthink01:34

Groupthink

When in group settings, we are often influenced by the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors around us. Groupthink is another phenomenon of conformity where modification of the opinions of members in a group aligns with what they believe is the group consensus (Janis, 1972). In such situations, the group often takes action that individuals would not perform outside the group setting because groups make more extreme decisions than individuals do. Moreover, groupthink can hinder opposing trains of...
Destabilization of Microtubules01:45

Destabilization of Microtubules

The destabilization of microtubules can occur during different stages of the microtubule lifecycle, such as nucleation or elongation. It can take place at either end of the microtubule or in the microtubule lattices as a whole. The lifespan of individual microtubules within a cell varies according to the cell type and stage of the cell cycle. During interphase, the lifespan of the microtubule is about 30 minutes, while during cell division, it is about 15 minutes. In axonal microtubules of...
Structuralism01:26

Structuralism

Structuralism, an early psychological theory developed by Wilhelm Wundt and his student Edward Bradford Titchener, sought to dissect the human mind into its most fundamental components. Wundt's groundbreaking work in his laboratory set the stage for Titchener to define structuralism's goal as cataloging the "atoms" of the mind—sensations, images, and feelings—akin to how chemists identify elements of matter.
Titchener's approach to structuralism was unique. He employed introspection, a method...
Revisionist Views of Adolescent and Adult Cognition01:24

Revisionist Views of Adolescent and Adult Cognition

A revisionist approach to Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development has brought new insights that challenge and reinterpret his established ideas. Piaget proposed that the formal operational stage, emerging in adolescence, represents the culmination of cognitive maturity. During this stage, individuals are said to develop abstract thinking, engage in systematic problem-solving, and show a form of egocentrism, believing others are as preoccupied with their behavior as they are themselves.
Cognitive Dissonance01:38

Cognitive Dissonance

Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...
Reason and Intuition01:37

Reason and Intuition

The human brain processes information for decision-making using one of two routes: an intuitive system and a rational system (Epstein, 1994; popularized by Kahneman, 2011 as System 1 and System 2, respectively). The intuitive system is quick, impulsive, and operates with minimal effort, relying on emotions or habits to provide cues for what to do next, while the rational system is logical, analytical, deliberate, and methodical. Research in neuropsychology suggests that the brain can only use...

An upheaval in u.s. Strategic thought.

    Summary

    Soviet Union

    Area of Science:

    • International Relations
    • Military Strategy
    • Nuclear Deterrence

    Background:

    • The U.S. land-based nuclear missile force is now vulnerable to Soviet preemptive attack.
    • This vulnerability stems from the Soviet deployment of highly accurate warheads, first demonstrated in 1977.
    • Missile vulnerability has become a critical issue in superpower relations and a symbol of perceived U.S. military decline.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To examine how the United States became aware of the Soviet missile accuracy.
    • To analyze the reasons behind the significant alarm caused by this development.
    • To provide context for the ongoing debate on military buildup and arms control.

    Main Methods:

    • Historical analysis of intelligence gathering and assessment.

    Continuous Theta Burst Stimulation of the Posterior Medial Frontal Cortex to Experimentally Reduce Ideological Threat Responses

    Published on: September 28, 2018

  • Review of geopolitical factors influencing superpower relations.
  • Examination of public and governmental responses to perceived threats.

    • Main Results:

    • The U.S. learned of Soviet missile accuracy through intelligence channels.
    • The accuracy posed a direct threat to U.S. land-based nuclear forces, causing strategic concern.
    • Western perception framed the Soviet capability as aggression, influencing U.S. policy proposals.

    Conclusions:

    • The perceived Soviet missile threat has fueled calls for a U.S. military buildup.
    • Public skepticism towards the proposed buildup is growing.
    • There is increasing support for arms control measures in response to the evolving nuclear landscape.
