Naturalistic Observations02:30

Naturalistic Observations

18.2K
If you want to understand how behavior occurs, one of the best ways to gain information is to simply observe the behavior in its natural context. However, people might change their behavior in unexpected ways if they know they are being observed. How do researchers obtain accurate information when people tend to hide their natural behavior? As an example, imagine that your professor asks everyone in your class to raise their hand if they always wash their hands after using the restroom. Chances...

Assessment of the Gastrointestinal System II: Health Perception Pattern

604
Assessing the gastrointestinal (GI) system is a complex process that begins with collecting subjective data. This data, collected through patient interviews, provides crucial insights into the patient's health history, perception patterns, and lifestyle habits, all contributing significantly to GI health.
Health Perception Patterns
Health perception patterns offer valuable insights into a patient's lifestyle habits and how they may impact their GI health. These patterns include:

Introspection

Introspection, long upheld as a reliable route to self-knowledge, involves examining one's thoughts, emotions, and mental processes. It underpins many psychological practices, from mindfulness meditation to psychotherapy and self-help strategies. However, empirical evidence challenges the accuracy of introspection as a means of understanding oneself.Limitations of Introspective InsightSeminal work by Nisbett and Wilson demonstrated that individuals are frequently unaware of the true causes...

Factors Affecting Perception01:25

Factors Affecting Perception

3.2K
Perception is influenced by perceptual set, context, motivation, and emotion. Perceptual set, or perceptual expectancy, refers to the tendency to perceive things in a particular way, influenced by previous experiences and expectations. This phenomenon affects the interpretation of stimuli, creating a set of mental tendencies and assumptions that impact sensory perceptions of sound, taste, touch, and sight.
An illustrative example of a perceptual set is the scenario where an airline pilot told...

Relationship with Parents: Attachment01:28

Relationship with Parents: Attachment

Parent-child interactions lay the foundation for how we understand relationships throughout life. These interactions are not uniform across families; instead, they are shaped by a range of environmental, emotional, and behavioral factors unique to each caregiver-child dynamic. Social psychologists study these early relationships to understand how patterns formed in infancy influence social functioning and interpersonal behavior in adulthood.Attachment Theory and Early Relational ModelsJohn...

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Health
  • Maternal-Infant Health
  • Psychology

Background:

  • Relactation is the process of re-establishing a diminished or ceased breast milk supply.
  • Breastfeeding challenges can impact maternal mental health and infant well-being.
  • Understanding women's experiences is crucial for improving support systems.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the lived experiences of women in Montana attempting relactation.
  • To identify factors influencing the decision and process of relactation.
  • To understand the emotional and physical aspects of relactation from the mother's perspective.

Main Methods:

  • A phenomenological approach was employed to capture lived experiences.
  • In-depth interviews were conducted with 10 women in Montana.
  • A 21-item questionnaire gathered demographic and experiential data.

Main Results:

  • A significant theme was the impact of a 'difficult baby' on the initial breastfeeding experience, necessitating relactation.
  • Difficult infant behaviors included colic, latching issues, and lack of bonding.
  • Participants focused on the emotional, rather than physical, aspects of relactation.

Conclusions:

  • Relactation attempts were associated with strong negative emotions, including rejection, anger, stress, and failure.
  • Emotional well-being is a critical factor in the success and continuation of relactation.
  • Further research should investigate factors differentiating women who continue versus discontinue nursing difficult babies to prevent future relactation needs.
