Decision Making01:20

Decision Making

311
Decision-making is a fundamental cognitive process that involves evaluating alternatives and selecting among them. This process can range from simple choices, such as deciding what to wear, to complex decisions, like choosing a major in college or a career path. The complexity of the decision often dictates the approach we use, which can be broadly categorized into two types: automatic and controlled decision-making.
Automatic decision-making is fast, intuitive, and relies on gut feelings...

Self-Discrepancy Theory02:45

Self-Discrepancy Theory

18.5K
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.

Decision Making: P-value Method01:09

Decision Making: P-value Method

5.8K
The process of hypothesis testing based on the P-value method includes calculating the P- value using the sample data and interpreting it.
First, a specific claim about the population parameter is proposed. The claim is based on the research question and is stated in a simple form. Further, an opposing statement to the claim  is also stated. These statements can act as null and alternative hypotheses:  a null hypothesis would be a neutral statement while the alternative hypothesis can...

Reason and Intuition01:37

Reason and Intuition

7.0K
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...

The Anchoring-and-Adjustment Heuristic01:25

The Anchoring-and-Adjustment Heuristic

7.5K
In order to make good decisions, we use our knowledge and our reasoning. Often, this knowledge and reasoning is sound and solid. However, sometimes, we are swayed by biases or by others manipulating a situation. For example, let’s say you and three friends wanted to rent a house and had a combined target budget of $1,600. The realtor shows you only very run-down houses for $1,600 and then shows you a very nice house for $2,000. Might you ask each person to pay more in rent to get the...

Decision Making: Traditional Method01:14

Decision Making: Traditional Method

4.3K
The process of hypothesis testing based on the traditional method includes calculating the critical value, testing the value of the test statistic using the sample data, and interpreting these values.
First, a specific claim about the population parameter is decided based on the research question and is stated in a simple form. Further, an opposing statement to this claim is also stated. These statements can act as null and alternative hypotheses, out of which a null hypothesis would be a...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Psychotherapy Research

Background:

  • The 'good enough mother' concept by Winnicott offers a framework for evaluating therapeutic relationships.
  • Determining when to terminate therapy is a complex clinical challenge.
  • Analyst-initiated termination, termed the 'Casablanca dilemma,' presents unique ethical and clinical considerations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish criteria for assessing whether a therapeutic situation is 'good enough' to continue or 'bad enough' to terminate.
  • To explore the 'Casablanca dilemma' of one-sided, analyst-initiated therapy endings.
  • To differentiate between successful and unsuccessful therapeutic analyses.

Main Methods:

  • Draws upon Winnicott's psychoanalytic theories.
  • Analyzes clinical syndromes like anorexia and pathological gambling in the context of termination.
  • Utilizes qualitative data from interviews with 40 analysts and therapists regarding their experiences with therapy endings.

Main Results:

  • Presents a typology of 'bad enough' endings in psychotherapy.
  • Highlights psychological distinctions between 'good enough' and 'bad enough' analyses.
  • Provides insights into the dynamics of analyst-initiated terminations.

Conclusions:

  • The 'good enough' therapeutic situation, analogous to Winnicott's 'good enough mother,' is crucial for successful outcomes.
  • Understanding the 'Casablanca dilemma' is essential for ethical and effective practice.
  • Further exploration of these concepts can improve clinical decision-making regarding therapy termination.
