Core cognition, encompassing coping and co-creation, explains identity development. Psychological safety promotes well-being and healthy development, unlike restricted ontological security.
Area of Science:
- Psychology
- Cognitive Science
- Well-being Studies
Background:
- Builds upon Part 1, assuming core cognition for well-being is universal across living beings.
- Introduces two behavioral ontologies: coping and co-creation.
- Establishes foundational terms of core cognition.
Purpose of the Study:
- Extend the conceptual framework and behavioral ontologies.
- Explain the basic structure of identity development from first principles.
- Apply core cognition to understand theories of well-being through the lens of coping and co-creation.
Main Methods:
- Demonstrates how combinations of coping, co-creation, adequacy, and inadequacy explain identity structure.
- Analyzes the concept of ontological security in relation to well-being.
- Examines psychological safety as a precondition for healthy development.
Main Results:
- Four combinations of coping and co-creation (adequacy/inadequacy) explain identity structure, including features of authoritarianism.
- Ontological security is characterized by restricted well-being creation and protection, termed "abnormal normality."
- Psychological safety fosters preconditions for high well-being and healthy development of coping and co-creation.
Conclusions:
- The framework provides a foundational understanding of identity development and well-being.
- Differentiates between restrictive ontological security and conducive psychological safety.
- Highlights the role of core cognition in fostering adaptive coping and co-creation for enhanced well-being.
