Attachment Styles01:24

Attachment Styles

24
Jeffrey Simpson's attachment theory suggests that early caregiver relationships shape lasting patterns of behavior and emotional regulation, known as attachment styles. These patterns are organized along two key dimensions: self-esteem and interpersonal trust. The intersection of these dimensions produces four primary attachment styles that typically persist throughout life and significantly influence how individuals form and maintain relationships.Secure Attachment StyleIndividuals with a...

Jung's Analytical Theory01:23

Jung's Analytical Theory

601
Carl Jung, a Swiss psychiatrist and former follower of Freud, eventually broke away from Freud's ideas to create his framework, analytical psychology. This approach emphasizes achieving a balance between the conscious and unconscious aspects of the mind and reconciling various experiences within an individual's personality. Jung believed that this process, which typically unfolds in the latter part of life, involves an ongoing journey of recognizing and incorporating unconscious...

Behavior is a product of both the situation (e.g., cultural influences, social roles, and the presence of bystanders) and of the person (e.g., personality characteristics). Subfields of psychology tend to focus on one influence or behavior over others. Situationism is the view that our behavior and actions are determined by our immediate environment and surroundings. In contrast, dispositionism holds that our behavior is determined by internal factors (Heider, 1958).

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...

Structuralism01:26

Structuralism

2.4K
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...

Theory of Romantic Attachment in Adulthood

45.6K
Attachment is a long-standing connection or bond with others. While Attachment Theory was conceived in developmental psychology to describe infant-caregiver bonding, it's been extended into adulthood to include romantic relationships.

Area of Science:

  • Science and Technology Studies (STS)
  • Sociotechnical Studies
  • Science, Technology, and Society (STS)

Background:

  • Current research in STS highlights the inseparability of knowing and caring.
  • Objectivity in science is not merely a detached pursuit but is actively crafted through practices that involve care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze how knowing and caring are entangled through 'attachments' in sociotechnical relationships.
  • To re-imagine the connections between the social and technical, knowers and the known, and work and affect through the concept of attachment.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing case studies from ethnographic engagements.
  • Examining dog-human relations, obesity surgery, and dementia care.
  • Analyzing how diverse and shifting attachments to technologies shape bodies, knowledge, and practices.

Main Results:

  • Agents' attachments to technologies and techniques are central to the formation of bodies, knowledge, and practices.
  • Affects are not prerequisites for attachment but are produced as a result of attachment practices.
  • Technoscientific work actively shapes passions, aesthetics, and sensory experiences.

Conclusions:

  • The concept of 'attachment' offers a new lens for understanding sociotechnical relations.
  • Sensibilities to 'the good' are formed and gain significance through practices of relating between humans, animals, and things.
  • This framework reveals how care is integral to the creation and practice of knowledge.
