Persuasion Strategies

38.9K
Researchers have tested many persuasion strategies, including the foot-in-the door and the door-in-the-face techniques, in a variety of contexts. Ultimately, the principles are effective in selling products and changing people’s attitude, ideas, and behaviors (Cialdini & Goldstein, 2004).

Deindividuation00:57

Deindividuation

26.6K
Deindividuation is a form of social influence on an individual’s behavior such that the individual engages in unusual or non-normal behavior while in a group setting. Why? Because in these group settings, the individual no longer sees themselves as an individual anymore, disinhibiting their behavior and personal restraint.

Social Traps01:41

Social Traps

22.6K
Social traps are negative situations where people get caught in a direction or relationship that later proves to be unpleasant, with no easy way to back out of or avoid. The concept was orignally introduced by John Platt who applied psychology to Garrett Hardin's "Tragedy of the Commons", where in New England herd owners could let their cattle graze in the common ground. This situation seems like a good idea, but an individual could have an advantage. If they owned...

Social Scripts

9.5K
People tend to know what behavior is expected of them in specific, familiar settings. A script is a person’s knowledge about the sequence of events expected in a specific setting (Schank & Abelson, 1977). Essentially, scripts are a particular kind of schema, one containing default values for the features within an event. In the restaurant example, the script's features include the props (e.g., tables, menu, food, and money), the roles to be played (e.g., customer and waiter),...

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

39.2K
People can go to great lengths to protect their self-image and present themselves in ways that they want others to see them. Sociologist Erving Goffman presented the idea that a person is like an actor on a stage. Calling his theory dramaturgy, Goffman believed that we use “impression management” to present ourselves to others as we hope to be perceived. Each situation is a new scene, and individuals perform different roles depending on who is present (Goffman, 1959). Think about...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Psychoanalysis
  • Digital Media Studies

Background:

  • Internet pornography use can be viewed as a defensive mechanism.
  • Compelling sexual scenes may represent attempts to master trauma or mask emptiness.
  • Jungian psychology offers a framework for understanding such behaviors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the therapeutic potential of internet pornography use.
  • To analyze internet pornography through a Jungian lens, focusing on dissociated affects and intrapsychic conflict.
  • To examine Stoller's concept of 'microdots' and Wood's work on compelling scenarios in pornography addiction.

Main Methods:

  • Jungian psychoanalytic interpretation.
  • Analysis of clinical case studies (Wood's work at Portman Clinic).
  • Application of Jung's concept of the transcendent function.

Main Results:

  • Internet pornography use can be a distorted attempt to manage unbearable dissociated affects.
  • Sexual technology use can manifest intrapsychic conflict via 'microdots'.
  • The tension between fantasy and frustration in intimacy can be therapeutically held.

Conclusions:

  • Internet pornography, when explored therapeutically, can serve as a liminal space for healing.
  • Understanding 'microdots' and compelling scenarios offers insights into unconscious processes.
  • The therapeutic relationship can facilitate the transcendent function, leading to new meaning and integration.
