Psychological and Sociocultural Causes of Schizophrenia01:29

Psychological and Sociocultural Causes of Schizophrenia

189
Schizophrenia, a complex psychiatric disorder, has been historically misunderstood. Early psychological theories attributed its origins to childhood trauma and unresponsive parenting. However, contemporary research largely rejects these notions, favoring the vulnerability-stress hypothesis. This model proposes that individuals with a genetic predisposition to schizophrenia may develop the disorder following exposure to significant environmental stressors. Notably, studies on high-risk...

Stereotype Threat and Self-fulfilling Prophecies

38.8K
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...

Self-Discrepancy Theory

18.4K
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.

Lazarus's Cognitive Appraisal Theory

529
Cognitive psychologist Richard Lazarus proposed the cognitive-mediational theory of emotions, which emphasizes how individuals' assessments of stressors significantly affect their experience of stress. According to Lazarus, the stress response is determined by a two-step appraisal process: primary appraisal and secondary appraisal. These cognitive appraisals help individuals evaluate the potential impact of a stressor and determine the adequacy of their coping resources.
Primary Appraisal:...

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

51.5K
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...

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

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
  • Creativity Studies
  • Social Psychology

Background:

  • Previous research links malevolent creativity to external family factors.
  • Internal psychological mechanisms influencing malevolent creativity require further investigation.
  • Understanding these mechanisms is crucial for developing effective interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the mediating role of rumination in the relationship between family support and malevolent creativity.
  • To test the interaction model of creativity in the context of negative creative behaviors.
  • To introduce a novel model for understanding the development of malevolent creativity.

Main Methods:

  • Surveyed 1108 Chinese university students.
  • Utilized the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (Family subscale).
  • Assessed malevolent creativity using the Malevolent Creativity Behavior Scale and rumination with the Ruminative Responses Scale.

Main Results:

  • Family support showed a significant negative correlation with malevolent creativity.
  • Reflective rumination and brooding partially and in parallel mediated this association.
  • Family support appears to reduce malevolent creativity by inhibiting these rumination types.

Conclusions:

  • Family support can mitigate malevolent creativity by reducing reflective rumination and brooding.
  • Introduced the "Environment-affective and cognitive process of malevolent creativity model".
  • Findings provide insights for interventions targeting the reduction of malevolent creativity.
