Chiastic thinking: A cognitive process closely related to Janusian thinking New Ideas Psychol. (IF 2.927) Pub Date : 2024-03-14 Chen-Yao Kao
This article aims to explore a way of thinking based on chiastic structure (X-shaped structure), chiastic thinking. Characterized by its juxtaposition of opposite structure, chiastic thinking has an intriguing connection to Janusian thinking. This is because Janusian thinking is deemed a creative process wherein two opposite concepts or images are conceived simultaneously. At the beginning of the article

Embodiment as a synthesis of having a body and being a body, and its role in self-identity and mental health New Ideas Psychol. (IF 2.927) Pub Date : 2024-03-10 Lars-Gunnar Lundh, Lo Foster
The experience of embodiment is a central theme in phenomenological philosophy and has recently received increasing attention also within psychological science. In the present paper we argue (1) that the experience of embodiment represents a fundamental synthesis of a body (the body as an object) and a body (the body as felt “from within”); (2) that this synthesis is basic to an individual's experience

Combining theoretical modelling and machine learning approaches: The case of teamwork effects on individual effort expenditure New Ideas Psychol. (IF 2.927) Pub Date : 2024-02-23 Simon Eisbach, Oliver Mai, Guido Hertel
Machine learning modelling of psychological processes is often considered as competing alternative to theoretical modelling. In contrast, the current study explores potential synergetic effects of these two general approaches both for predictive accuracy and theoretical understanding. Theoretical models have high explanatory value but can have weak predictive power. Machine learning models have high

When resilience becomes undesirable – A cautionary note New Ideas Psychol. (IF 2.927) Pub Date : 2024-02-16 Yannick Hill, Margaret Morison, Abbey Westphal, Solène Gerwann, Bernard P. Ricca
Traditionally, resilience has been viewed as a general positive adaptation to stressors. However, the hallmark of resilience – returning to the previous state following a perturbation – may also have severe downsides, which are often overlooked. Specifically, it may be unrealistic to return to the previous state or resilience may cause a person to become stuck in an undesirable state. In this article

Adaptation to stressors: Hormesis as a framework for human performance New Ideas Psychol. (IF 2.927) Pub Date : 2024-01-10 Yannick Hill, Adam W. Kiefer, Raôul R.D. Oudejans, Anke S. Baetzner, Ruud J.R. Den Hartigh
Although stressors are frequently linked to several negative health outcomes, experiencing stressors may be necessary for enhancing performance. At present, the literature is lacking a unified, comprehensive framework that accounts for both positive and negative outcomes following stressors. Therefore, we introduce the framework of hormesis, which has been applied in biological research for decades

Exploring artificial intelligence approach to art therapy assessment: A case study on the classification and the estimation of psychological state based on a drawing New Ideas Psychol. (IF 2.927) Pub Date : 2024-01-09 Seong-in Kim, Kee-Eung Kim, Seunghwan Song
The art therapy assessment involves the classification of the psychological state of the drawer into several groups (e.g., normal or abnormal) and the estimation of it in numeric (e.g., psychological examination score) based on the interpretation of his or her drawing. Based on a qualitative approach to these tasks, a statistical approach relying various quantitative features of drawings has broadened

Clinician-administered interviews should not be considered the ‘gold standard’ method of assessing psychological distress New Ideas Psychol. (IF 2.927) Pub Date : 2023-12-14 Philip Hyland, Mark Shevlin
Clinician-administered interviews are widely considered the ‘gold standard’ method of assessing psychological distress. We challenge this assumption by noting that there is no empirical evidence demonstrating that psychological distress scores derived from clinician-administered interviews more accurately reflect true psychological distress scores than those derived from self-report questionnaires

Can essences mix? An essentialist theory of genetic hybrids in the human and animal domain New Ideas Psychol. (IF 2.927) Pub Date : 2023-12-08 Wolfgang Wagner, Nicole Kronberger
This paper reviews research on biological essentialist beliefs and what these entail for perceiving genetic hybrids. It is suggested that hybrid perception results from the characteristics of essentialist reasoning, according to which living beings are endowed with a specific identity as a member of a natural kind. The most important elements of attributing an essence onto an individual are its perceived

Positive Psychology has reconstructed how we understand happiness. The practices and discourses it presents to perform that reconceptualization appear as if free from political interest or intentionality. However, this article will show that its proposals define a subtle new form of government which we will call Psychopolitics. Instead of placing the population or the body of the citizen at the centre

How to study the early development of executive function? Let's put control back in the hands of children New Ideas Psychol. (IF 2.927) Pub Date : 2023-09-14 Iván Moreno-Llanos, Irene Guevara, Pedro Palacios, Cintia Rodríguez
We consider it necessary to consolidate a developmental theory of Executive Functions. Research based on standardized tasks have limitations that makes it difficult to study and analyze their development with children under the age of two years. To address these issues, we present a constructivist, pragmatic, semiotic, and sociocultural perspective to study the early development of Executive Functions

Recent studies have found large treatment effects of hypnotic suggestion on cognitive impairment following acquired brain injury. However, little is known about the underlying mechanisms of these effects. A general framework is presented in which (1) a substantial part of cognitive brain-injury sequelae can be attributed to negative self-expectancies, and (2) hypnosis is a powerful way to manipulate

A theory of moral categorization: The conceptual performance of moral cognition New Ideas Psychol. (IF 2.927) Pub Date : 2023-08-18 Ariel James
According to some traditional theories of categorization, human beings conceptually represent reality through judgments of similarity between the relevant features of some case, and the well-defined features of the concept that stands for the case. However, abstract concepts used with a moral sense do not have phenomenological resemblance with the cases they denote. In addition, concepts typically

Developmental psychologists have become increasingly interested in adolescents' thinking on economic inequality. Not surprisingly, most of this research has been conducted with samples from the United States, a paradigmatic example of a Global North region. It is therefore a potentially restrictive approach, given the diversity of manifestations of inequality around the world. In this work, we draw

Human memory is a complex system that works in associative ways: Reading a cue word can lead to the recollection of associated concepts. The network structure of memory recall patterns has been shown to contain insights about a wide variety of cognitive phenomena, including language acquisition. However, most current network approaches use pairwise connections, i.e. links between only two words at

The person as an extended field: Querying the ontological binaries and dominant “container” metaphor at the core of psychology New Ideas Psychol. (IF 2.927) Pub Date : 2023-05-31 Tim Lomas
The Western-centricity of psychology means it has inherited some of the key ontological categories and distinctions at the heart of Western cultures. This paper identifies four such distinctions that have been particularly influential in psychology: mind-body; subjective-objective; self-other; and inner-outer. Together, these have created a pervasive view that the mind – and the person more broadly

Towards a normative change approach in child labour: A theoretical analysis and empirical exploration of the constituted and constitutive procedural social norms New Ideas Psychol. (IF 2.927) Pub Date : 2023-05-17 Alhassan Abdullah, Clifton R. Emery, Peter Dwumah, Lucy P. Jordan
Growing evidence in the field of child labour has identified social norms among the key antecedents. Social norms regulate actions of people within the social order. Where social norms are institutionalized and legitimized, people conform to them out of a sense of duty. It is argued that legitimate, deep-rooted, and institutionalized social norms are difficult to change. Yet, there have been some significant

Bridging attentional control and reinvestment: A test of the interactionist hypothesis in an E-sport context New Ideas Psychol. (IF 2.927) Pub Date : 2023-05-12 Shuge Zhang, Robin Owen
Attentional control and reinvestment are two competing mechanisms explaining why anxiety-provoking situations may undermine performance. To date, both perspectives have received empirical support, but neither of them perfectly explain how anxiety affects performance. In the present study, we examined a novel, interactionist hypothesis, that worry during task performance (i.e., a product of low attentional

An evolutionary model for aggression in youth: Rethinking aggression in terms of the Catalyst Model New Ideas Psychol. (IF 2.927) Pub Date : 2023-04-27 Christopher J. Ferguson
Like many areas of psychology, aggression research has been impacted by psychology's replication crisis. Until recently, aggression was understood largely from the perspective of social cognitive models, wherein aggression was conceptualized as learned scripts. However, more recent rigorous research has suggested that cognitive scripts may play only a small role in aggression. By contrast, genetic

Epistemic cultural constraints on the uses of psychology New Ideas Psychol. (IF 2.927) Pub Date : 2022-10-14 Rami Gabriel
This paper describes some epistemic cultural considerations which shape the uses of psychology. I argue the study of mind is bound by the metaphysical background of the given locale and era in which it is practiced. The epistemic setting in which psychology takes place will shape what is worth observing, how it is to be studied, how the data is to be interpreted, and the nature of the ultimate explanatory
