Summary
This study explores the concept of trusting within the human-becoming framework, defining it as faith with potential doubt, comfort, and reverence. This conceptualization enriches nursing knowledge and the human-becoming paradigm.
Area of Science:
- Nursing
- Philosophy
- Qualitative Research
Background:
- The human-becoming concept offers a framework for understanding lived experiences.
- Trusting is a fundamental human experience that warrants deeper conceptualization.
- Existing nursing knowledge can be enhanced through novel theoretical perspectives.
Purpose of the Study:
- To conceptualize the universal human-universe living experience of trusting.
- To explore the phenomenon of trusting within the human-becoming paradigm.
- To articulate a new understanding of trusting for nursing scholarship.
Main Methods:
- Conceptual analysis using the human-becoming concept inventing model.
- Engaging with the artform "Sans Titre" by Kim En Joong to inform conceptualization.
- Qualitative exploration of the trusting experience.
Main Results:
- Trusting emerged as a "now-truth" characterized by faith, potential doubt, serene comfort, and reverent alliances.
- The conceptualization involved "powering the imaging of connecting-separating."
- An "ingenious proclamation" of trusting was articulated within the human-becoming language.
Conclusions:
- The developed conceptualization of trusting significantly contributes to nursing's body of knowledge.
- This work advances the human-becoming paradigm by offering a nuanced understanding of trusting.
- The findings provide a foundation for future research on trusting in nursing and healthcare contexts.

Carl Rogers' Humanistic Perspective on Personality
1.3K
Carl Rogers, a key figure in humanistic psychology, believed that individuals possess an innate potential for growth and fulfillment. According to his model of personality, three significant components define an individual: the organism, the self, and conditions of worth.
The organism refers to an individual's inherent blueprint, which Rogers saw as innately positive and directed toward helping others, unlike Freud's view of the id as driven by base impulses. The self is a person's...

Concepts and Prototypes

The human nervous system handles vast amounts of information by translating sensory stimuli into neural impulses, which the brain processes, creating thoughts expressed through language or stored as memories. The brain also synthesizes information from emotions and memories, which significantly influence thoughts and behaviors. This intricate process creates a comprehensive mental picture.
The brain organizes this information using concepts, which are mental categories grouping linguistic data,...

Understanding Self-Concept
6
The self-concept encompasses individuals' beliefs about themselves, structured through cognitive frameworks known as self-schemas. These schemas function as mental representations of specific traits or behaviors, influencing how self-relevant information is perceived, processed, and remembered. For example, individuals who are schematic for body weight are more likely to interpret routine experiences—such as dining out or shopping—through the lens of that trait. Conversely, those...

Humanistic Psychology

Humanistic psychology emerged in the mid-20th century as a response to the deterministic and pessimistic nature of behaviorism and psychoanalysis. While behaviorism focused on observable behaviors influenced by the environment and psychoanalysis delved into unconscious motivations, both theories suggested that human actions lacked free will. In contrast, humanistic psychology offers a perspective that emphasizes the innate potential for goodness and growth within every individual.

Self-Concept

Self-concept is the cognitive and emotional understanding individuals hold about their identity. It evolves through various developmental stages, beginning in infancy and maturing as children grow. This concept influences how individuals perceive their abilities, interact with others, and manage challenges throughout life.
Infancy and Emerging Recognition
During infancy, self-concept is virtually nonexistent. Babies do not distinguish themselves as separate entities and often mistake their...

Humanistic Therapy
109
Humanistic therapies emphasize personal growth, self-understanding, and the fulfillment of human potential. Rooted in the belief that individuals inherently strive toward self-actualization, these approaches encourage clients to explore their feelings and experiences in a supportive, nonjudgmental environment. Humanistic therapies differ from psychodynamic approaches by focusing on conscious experiences, present circumstances, and the potential for self-improvement rather than past conflicts...
