The role of attachment and filial maturity dimensions in predicting expectations of filial caregiving was investigated on a sample of 296 (186 females) prospective caregivers aged 26 to 60. ...Consistent with previous studies, attachment avoidance negatively predicted the filial caregiving expectations. These effects were partially mediated by filial comprehending, which predicted higher self-expectations in providing assistance to the parent. Filial distancing was proven to be a negative predictor of caregiving expectations, although in low relation with attachment avoidance. Findings suggest the importance of further exploration, as well as the importance of the concept of filial maturity in the context of filial responsibilities and long-term parent-child relations.
The second part of the article is based on analysis of committed suicides, including self-destructions of the people connected with sea who killed themselves on land. Additionally, the author pays ...attention at sham suicides (most frequently homicides) and suicides prima facie (in fact seamen’s desperate jumps overboard). The text is finished by recapitulation in which the author tries to formulate some conclusions.
As new types of problematic behaviors and new forms of online risk-taking emerge, forming collaborative relationships while understanding complexities of motivations may help to promote harm ...reduction and intervention. While it may be too early to form a stakeholder framework without first conceptually understanding the problematic behaviors involved, we attempt to build upon a proposed multidisciplinary stakeholder framework to minimize harms for problematic risk-taking involving emerging technologies. We propose an expansion of roles for individual stakeholders and an expansion of proposed roles for family stakeholders to include partner/spouses, others living in the household, and/or those with close relationships with individuals who are experiencing problems. Empowering individuals who use emerging technologies through participatory action research and knowledge translation/dissemination may lead to improvements in the quality of research and a greater impact on policy and practice. Also, we discuss benefits of industry self-regulation and collaboration on data-sharing practices. We recommend approaches to promote global collaboration with a larger group of relevant stakeholders (including but not limited to individual consumers of technology, families, communities, treatment and welfare providers, researchers, industries, and governments) to address protection of vulnerable populations and reduce harms for users of rapidly advancing technologies.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) has been formed by American psychologist Marsha M. Linehan for patients with Borderline personality disorder (BPD). The diagnosis of Borderline personality disorder ...is understood in DBT in the same way as in Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, forth revision (DSM-IV) of the American Psychiatric Association. However, DBT rearranges the BPD criteria into logical units corresponding to the biosocial theory of BPD. An important philosophical background of DBT is dialectics as well as Zen Buddhism. Further, DBT has been significantly influenced by cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). DBT consists of four basic modules – individual therapy, skills training group, telephone coaching and consultation team. DBT has shown its effectivity in several randomized controlled studies, mainly in women with BPD who self-harm and have suicidal ideation.

Living in a capitalist society we are witnessing an alarming growth of both consumerism and materialism. Nowadays, this phenomenon has become a lifestyle itself.Thus, this study aims to demonstrate ...how consumers’ perception of luxury and premium brands can be easily influenced by various factors such as entourage, social media or the desire to be at the top of the social hierarchy. Currently, neuroscience and consumer psychosociology play an essential role in creating impactful advertising campaigns as it becomes increasingly difficult for a brand to remain market-leading.
Background and aims. Despite indications that the dark triad of personality might be associated with Internet-use disorder (IUD), research about these associations is lacking. Methods. Two studies ...were performed to grasp the links between these variables. In the first study, a sample consisting of N = 468 participants (n = 130 males) filled in the Short Dark Triad Questionnaire to assess scores in the dark triad of personality and the short Internet Addiction Test to assess tendencies toward unspecified IUD. In the second study, another independent sample of N = 472 participants (n = 143 males) filled in the same questionnaires plus items about specific forms of IUD. Results. Traits Machiavellianism and psychopathy were positively linked to tendencies toward unspecified IUD in both samples and males and females. Regarding the associations between tendencies toward specific IUDs and the dark triad of personality, no significant associations were found in males (at least not passing correction procedures for multiple testing). In females, trait Machiavellianism/psychopathy and tendencies toward Internet-shopping disorder, trait psychopathy, and tendencies toward Internet-pornography-use disorder as well as trait Machiavellianism and tendencies toward Internet-communication disorder were significantly positively correlated at least one of the (sub)scales assessing the respective specific IUD was significantly associated with the respective dark triad trait even after correction procedures for multiple testing. No robust pattern of associations between trait narcissism and unspecified/specific forms of IUD could be observed across (sub)samples. Discussion and conclusions. These results indicate positive associations of the traits Machiavellianism and psychopathy (on a subclinical level) with tendencies toward IUD, especially unspecified IUD. The associations with tendencies toward specific forms of IUD seem more complex with differential personality correlates for each specific IUD. These associations need to be replicated.
Interfering psychology with sociology, social psychology studies human beeing in a social context, in the specific situation and interaction. The two areas, sociology and psychology inter twine and ...influence each other. The implications of democracy in social life are the subject of study of social psychology, given that the factor that changes and generates change, is the human beeing. An important concept of psychosocialism is the social influence, which affects on long and intense term people's beliefs, thoughts, concepts and feelings. At its core are certain mechanisms, such as: suggestion, imitation, psychological contamination. We can say that human behaviors are the result of social influence. Democracy is a way to live, think, and act. The ideals for which people have fought overtime - freedom, justice and equality, are also the values of democracy. To be democratic means to believe that all people are equal and have the right to live in dignity, respect and tolerance.
Understanding Behaviorism is a classic textbook that explains the basis of behavior analysis and its application to human problems in a scholarly but accessible manner. * Now in its third edition, ...the text has been substantially updated to include the latest developments over the last decade in behaviour analysis, evolutionary theory, and cultural evolution theory * The only book available that explains behavior analysis and applies it to philosophical and practical problems, written by one of today's best-known and most highly respected behaviorists * Explores ancient concepts such as purpose, language, knowledge, and thought, as well as applying behavioural thinking to contemporary social issues like freedom, democracy, and culture * Part of the new evolutionary perspective for understanding individual behavior in general and culture in particular – culminates with practical approaches to improving the lives of all humanity
