まとめ
死の意識によって引き起こされる 存在的成熟には 直接的な手段が欠けています この研究では,死亡思考と関連する心理的コンストラクションに対する死亡率の顕著な影響を調査しました.
科学分野:
- 心理学
- 存在心理
- 死亡率 突出した研究
背景:
- 死に対する意識は 心理的幸福に影響し 苦痛と実存的成熟と呼ばれる 成熟過程を促します
- 現在,実存的成熟の定量的な測定は不足しており,実存的苦痛への介入の研究を妨げています.
- この研究は,暗黙の死の思考と関連する心理的なコンストラクションに対する 死亡率の顕著な影響を調査しています.
研究 の 目的:
- 暗黙の死の思考に対する 死亡感の刺激の影響を 時間の経過とともに調べる
- 生存的成熟に関連する構造の既存の尺度間の関連性を探求する.
- 存在的成熟度対策の将来の発展のための潜在的な指標を特定する.
主な方法:
- 都市部と農村部の成人を代表する1,000人のアメリカ人に横断調査が行われました.
- この調査には,死亡率の顕著な刺激 (死亡不安の信念と行動のスケール) と,死亡思考のアクセシビリティ (DTA),存在的孤立,苦痛,繁栄,超越,および愛着の測定が含まれていました.
- データは相関分析と多変量分析を用いて分析された.
主要な成果:
- 死亡率の顕著な刺激は,死亡思考のアクセシビリティ (DTA) に期待された結果をもたらさなかった.
- 存在的孤立と苦痛と 繁栄と超越の間の 重要な正の相関が発見されました
- アタッチメント・スタイルは顕著な関連性を示した.回避的なアタッチメントは孤立/苦痛の低さに関連し,死の不安は不安/曖昧なアタッチメントに関連した.
結論:
- この研究は,アタッチメントスタイルと実存的な成熟の指標の間の重要な相互関係を強調しています.
- 制限は,DTAの結果に影響を与える潜在的に無効な死亡リマインダーまたはオンライン形式を含みます.
- 存在的成熟の無意識の要素を評価するための暗黙の測定法を開発するには,さらなる研究が必要です.

Self-Evaluation: Self-Enhancement and Self-Verification

Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Erikson's Theory on Socioemotional Development during Adulthood
272
Erik Erikson's theory of psychosocial development outlines a series of stages through which individuals progress across the lifespan. Each stage involves a psychosocial conflict that significantly influences personal growth and well-being. Three key stages — intimacy versus isolation, generativity versus stagnation, and integrity versus despair — highlight the developmental challenges faced in adulthood.

Self-Report Tests of Personality
454
Self-report inventories are objective personality assessments that use multiple-choice items or numbered scales, typically ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). They are often called Likert scales after Rensis Likert. These inventories are widely used due to their ease of administration and cost-effectiveness. One of the most prominent examples is the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI), initially developed in the 1940s to assess abnormal personality traits.

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.

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

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...

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.
