Self-Discrepancy Theory02:45

Self-Discrepancy Theory

18.9K
One influential perspective on what motivates people's behavior is detailed in Tory Higgin's self-discrepancy theory (Higgins, 1987). He proposed that people hold disagreeing internal representations of themselves that lead to different emotional states.

Band Theory02:35

Band Theory

17.1K
When two or more atoms come together to form a molecule, their atomic orbitals combine and molecular orbitals of distinct energies result. In a solid, there are a large number of atoms, and therefore a large number of atomic orbitals that may be combined into molecular orbitals. These groups of molecular orbitals are so closely placed together to form continuous regions of energies, known as the bands.
The energy difference between these bands is known as the band gap.

In contrast, dispositionism holds that our behavior is determined by internal factors (Heider, 1958).

The Atomic Theory of Matter02:59

The Atomic Theory of Matter

126.9K
The earliest recorded discussion of the basic structure of matter comes from ancient Greek philosophers. Leucippus and Democritus argued that all matter was composed of small, finite particles that they called atomos, meaning “indivisible.” Later, Aristotle and others came to the conclusion that matter consisted of various combinations of the four “elements” — fire, earth, air, and water — and could be infinitely divided. Interestingly, these philosophers...

Social Exchange Theory02:06

Social Exchange Theory

39.5K
We have discussed why we form relationships, what attracts us to others, and different types of love. But what determines whether we are satisfied with and stay in a relationship? One theory that provides an explanation is social exchange theory. According to social exchange theory, we act as naïve economists in keeping a tally of the ratio of costs and benefits of forming and maintaining a relationship with others (Rusbult & Van Lange, 2003).

Summary

Reed's theory explains how vulnerability, self-transcendence, and well-being connect. Contemplative practices can enhance self-transcendence and overall well-being, aligning with this theory.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Mindfulness Studies

Background:

  • Reed's theory posits a link between vulnerability, self-transcendence, and well-being.
  • Self-transcendence involves expanding self-boundaries and connecting with a larger reality.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present the core concepts of Reed's theory of self-transcendence.
  • To explore how contemplative practices can foster self-transcendence and well-being.

Main Methods:

  • Conceptual analysis of Reed's theory.
  • Literature review on contemplative practices and their psychological effects.

Main Results:

  • Reed's theory provides a framework for understanding the interplay of vulnerability, self-transcendence, and well-being.
  • Contemplative practices show potential for promoting dimensions of self-transcendence.
