Horney's Sociocultural Approach01:27

Horney's Sociocultural Approach

512
Karen Horney's psychoanalytic theories emphasize the potential for self-realization and the importance of addressing social and cultural, rather than biological, factors in personality development. She challenged traditional Freudian views, particularly Freud's concept of "penis envy," which she argued stemmed from cultural influences rather than inherent biological differences. Horney believed that any sense of inferiority in women was a result of societal conditioning, such as...

Stereotype Threat and Self-fulfilling Prophecies

37.6K
When we hold a stereotype about a person, we have expectations that he or she will fulfill that stereotype. A self-fulfilling prophecy is an expectation held by a person that alters his or her behavior in a way that tends to make it true. When we hold stereotypes about a person, we tend to treat the person according to our expectations. This treatment can influence the person to act according to our stereotypic expectations, thus confirming our stereotypic beliefs. Research by Rosenthal and...

Surveys

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

For these adolescents, identity formation involves not only typical developmental challenges but also navigating the perceptions and attitudes of the majority culture. As they grow, adolescents in ethnic minority groups often become increasingly aware of stereotypes, social biases, and discrimination, all of which...

The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison

49.9K
According to Charles Cooley, we base our image on what we think other people see (Cooley 1902). We imagine how we must appear to others, then react to this speculation. We don certain clothes, prepare our hair in a particular manner, wear makeup, use cologne, and the like—all with the notion that our presentation of ourselves is going to affect how others perceive us. We expect a certain reaction, and, if lucky, we get the one we desire and feel good about it. But more than that, Cooley...

Psychosexual Stages of Personality: Phallic01:12

Psychosexual Stages of Personality: Phallic

551
The third stage of psychosexual development proposed by Freud is the phallic stage, occurring between the ages of 3 and 6. During this period, children become aware of their bodies and the differences between males and females. The erogenous zone in this stage is the genitals, and conflicts arise as children develop desires toward the opposite-sex parent. Boys experience the Oedipus complex, where they desire their mother and view their father as a rival. This leads to castration anxiety, the...

  • Public Health
  • Women's Studies

Background:

  • Infertility affects 1 in 6 couples globally, with women in Jordan facing cultural stigma and violence.
  • Existing research inadequately addresses the daily violence experienced by infertile women in Jordan.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the lived experiences of infertile women concerning societal violence in Jordan.
  • To identify physical, psychological, and emotional violence types and contributing factors like cultural attitudes.
  • To inform policy and practice for mitigating violence against infertile women.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative Interpretative Phenomenological study.
  • Semi-structured interviews with purposively sampled infertile women.
  • Thematic analysis to identify recurring patterns and themes.

Main Results:

  • Five key themes emerged: societal perceptions of infertile women, suffocating inquiries, intrusive interference, feelings of worthlessness, and the need for privacy in reproductive matters.
  • Women expressed a lack of perceived right to complain about their treatment.
  • Support systems and individual needs were also highlighted.

Conclusions:

  • Findings underscore the pervasive violence and stigma faced by infertile women in Jordan.
  • Interventions including awareness campaigns, education, and support are crucial.
  • Creating a more inclusive and compassionate society is essential for the well-being of infertile women.
