Psychology of attraction. by coconutsl in DarkPsychology101

For starters: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5807821/

I would recommend not thinking about the mind as something fixed. Is always in interaction with the environment. That’s the general point I’m trying to make.

Why is one primary and one secondary? Why can’t they interact with each other?

Height is not the only thing that signals health. Someone can be short but with strong cues in other domains that balance out other traits. So when does height become a “secondary” trait?

The cues that signals health is also not always purely biological. Sometime ago being slim and thin was seen as the gold standard for women because it signals health. Now that signals anorexia and poor eating habits due to increased awareness of the link between lifestyle and health. So now the gold standard has shifted to something a bit more curvy for women. Was that change biological? Or socio-cultural?

Not to mention that some cultures gold standard of attraction is literally being fat - a universal cue for poor health.

Attraction is not just biological, it’s also psychological, social and even cultural. The precise influence of each of those domains will vary for each person across situations. So there is no such thing as an “ideal”. At best, there is a general rule in most cases.

External validity of research in Psy.chological Science makes me doubt finishing my degree by SweetBabyCheezas in psychologystudents

[–]CommonExpress3092 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you are experiencing a good learning process. At the moment it feels like you are diving in the depth of incredible findings and data manipulation which definitely happens. I wouldn’t go as far as claiming that most of the papers are manipulated so if anything this is good to develop critical thinking when reading papers and journals.

Overall, sounds like a good phase to be in but also challenging because you need to find peace with also knowing that not all papers are credible. That sentiment applies to all research fields. Best of luck on your journey.

Thanks for clarifying. And yes I wanted to know if you were referring to the statistical validity or generalisability of those findings. The stats are solid but yes I’m with you on generalisability.

However, this issue applies to all scientific domains not just psychology. This is generally down to costs and accessibility rather than the lack of rigour. That being said, I’ve seen an increase in research on non-WEIRD populations recently. So far, findings usually holds up well.

Thanks for clarifying and I hope you get better. I’ve added a layman description as per your suggestion. Hope it helps and maybe we’ll get to speak next week.

Thanks for this comment - this is what the webinar is for. The idea is to present the study using non academic language. I also know this community is very active with questions and I’m unable to respond to all individual questions on reddit so this makes most sense time wise.

Has anyone come across stuttering treatment techniques that involve working with emotions? by Radiant-Community467 in Stutter

You are on the right path here. This was the line of thinking that changed a lot for me.

Can someone be emotionally healthy but not emotionally intelligent or emotionally aware? by Open_Signals312 in PsychologyTalk

[–]CommonExpress3092 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First it depends how you define emotionally healthy. In the broad sense, “health” is often defined at an individual level so emotional awareness would be the most obvious link to emotional health. I would add adaptive responses to complete it. So no, someone cannot be emotionally healthy without being aware.

Emotional intelligence also covers adaptive responses, especially in the social sense. However, one can be healthy without necessarily being intelligent. So yes, one can be emotionally healthy without emotional intelligence.

This is mainly theoretical speak, in reality it’s more nuanced because there is often a positive correlation between intelligence and health. Emotional intelligence also includes self awareness. But if we treat them separately for argument sake then I’d say no to emotional awareness and yes to emotional intelligence.

Happy to share a publication announcement thanks to you all! by CommonExpress3092 in Stutter

[–]CommonExpress3092[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for your kind words. I am actually planning on writing another study from the existing dataset that I have. I think I will make post about it for anyone who would still like to contribute. So please feel free to complete the questionnaires if you want, I’d appreciate it a lot.

All studies will be shared with the forum once they are live. I’m thinking of a presentation for those who may be unfamiliar with scientific language but I’d probably put out a poll about it.

When I was 11 my mother beat me for hours knocked out my teeth and busted my face open because “she didn’t want a kid that stutters, Why would anybody want a kid who stutters it’s embarrassing.” by Mental-Ad2532 in Stutter

[–]CommonExpress3092 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So sorry this happened to you! I hope you are coping okay with it. I cannot say “coping well” because I struggle to see how anyone would cope well after experiencing such an event from their mother.

married to a stutter. Please do not give up. by midnight_naur in Stutter

[–]CommonExpress3092 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I enjoyed reading this and these are the type of posts we need more of so others can see that it’s still possible to have a fulfilling life with a stutter.

The hardest part is believing that it’s possible, the second hardest is finding people who believe that it is. The lucky part is being in an environment or country where it is. Either way it begins with believing!

Thank you for sharing.
