A Study on Unity between the Neuropsychological and Ecological Dimensions of Attachment: Our Hearts Are Connected

Abstract

Human beings are born as connected beings. From the moment of their birth, they expect diverse connections and continuously create new connections with this world. These social expectations or social instincts of the human species are directed to living things other than man as well as other human beings. This study set out to examine the nature and content of such social instincts based on the development process of attachment and the broad social thermoregulation acts of people. The findings show that human social instincts are characterized by unconditional openness and continue to pursue diversity. The study also demonstrated that there were human existential limitations, which mean that they cannot survive even for a moment without their connections to living things other than man, in the background of their development of broad social thermoregulation acts via diverse social networks.
