A combination of close and not close ties (i.e., weak ties) is optimal to combat loneliness and improve psychological and physical health. The literature has not differentiated among weak ties, however. We identify possible categories of weak ties along a spectrum from passing strangers to the edge of friendship. We propose that one type of weak tie, which we term \"fringeships,\" may provide unique benefits for well-being compared to other weak ties. Fringeships sit on the edge of close ties and are characterized by: a) regular contact in specific settings; b) volitional and mutual recognition of the connection; c) freedom from obligations that characterize close ties or formalities that characterize many types of weak ties; and d) a degree of shared affection and fondness. Fringeships engage in a balance of small talk and personal disclosure. We speculate on the potential benefits of fringeships, the contexts in which they are likely to arise, and individual differences in the propensity to develop them. We discuss potential interventions for the development of fringeships, particularly for those most in need of social contact.

We examine the Chinese notion of <i>xin</i>/heart and the interdependent self, and how music facilitates individuals' aesthetic attunement toward the natural and social orders. Our approach transcends limitations of Euro-American psychological paradigms centered on the psyche, by adopting a holistic perspective that emphasizes the interconnectedness of the heart, the body, and the cosmos.

Authors can provide additional constraints to interpretation by taking care to explain some of the original context. But this requires making judgments about what counts, and readers can't generally do that of sources except in retrospect. So the solution to the problem is taken to be \"to become bilingual,\" and basically do the translation work oneself. This means immersing in that foreign culture for long enough that its ways of being, and ways of meaning, become one's own. When the subject of one's interest is the undiscovered country, however, this goal remains forever inaccessible. That's just not somewhere you can go and report back from. The true meanings of deceased authors are therefore forever inscrutable. Except, of course, in cases where historical traces can stand in their stead. Interactions with archival sources are thus offered as a new solution to the problems of indeterminacy and inscrutability: archives provide anchors to stabilize the received meaning of historical texts by offering evidence of what those involved in their production intended them to mean. Here, that is demonstrated with reference to (1) the difficulty of translating Jean Piaget's (1896-1980) collection of essays entitled <i>Sociological Studies</i> and (2) the broader misunderstanding of Piaget's sociality in relation to the popularity of its critique by Lev Vygotsky (1896-1934). We then find, in the process, new ways to consider a consistently thorny question: what is the means by which one attains truth? Here, we therefore articulate and illustrate the \"Interpretation Game\" by providing access to a curated selection of archival texts drawn from several collections never before considered in relation to the question of the meaning of \"Piaget\" as a holophrastic utterance. The result is then also a new look at Cold War-era developmental psychology, social psychology, educational theory, and genetic epistemology (the study of the construction of knowledge).</p>","PeriodicalId":48306,"journal":{"name":"Review of General Psychology","volume":"29 1","pages":"3-22"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13020913/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147576095","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet, cultivating aesthetic attunement at all levels of individual and social life can become a source of distress for the heart.

Next, we outline the emergence of aversion therapy internationally and identify historical 'hotspot' hospitals and universities in the UK, with the nation itself an international 'hotspot' for aversion. We then employ the case study of the 2022 report from the University of Birmingham, to demonstrate how such investigations of difficult pasts might be most effectively realised and highlight the potential for a 'truth and reconciliation' approach to this history.

Forced displacement and subordination are also part of history in which cultural manners to preserve balance with the environment were severely altered. This article delves into the case of the Mapuche people, an indigenous group from Latin America that faces old and new expressions of colonialism. Because of structural discrimination, the health outcomes of the Mapuche people have been affected, including mental health. In this scenario, intercultural health experiences have been implemented to address the needs of the Mapuche population. Intercultural health policy emerges as an arena in which indigenous understanding of well-being is once again subjugated. From the author’s indigenous position, possibilities for well-being come through the negotiation of meanings and power that complicate indigenous life in colonial settings. Moreover, the subalternization of indigenous perspectives within scientific spaces is acknowledged as an obstacle to achieving horizontality in academic networks and to constructing meaningful interventions.","PeriodicalId":48306,"journal":{"name":"Review of General Psychology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2024-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142265054","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we examined this shortage in the context of the American Psychological Association’s apology to people of color for psychology’s role in perpetuating racism and human hierarchy. Drawing from literature on the sociohistorical context of race in America, we argue that the treatment meted out to Native Americans (e.g., exploitation and eviction from their homelands), Blacks (e.g., slavery), and other ethnic-racial groups resulted in the development of racist attitudes about human hierarchy and White superiority, and these initial behaviors and attitudes began a vicious cycle of discriminatory behaviors, racist attitudes, and societal inequities that are still affecting society in the present day. We also contend that the shortage of professional psychologists—both health service and applied—cannot be solved at the graduate school level where these individuals are trained. The solution has to start with increasing the numbers of students of color who succeed in elementary and secondary schooling, ultimately matriculating into college and graduate school. Thus, the solution requires interventions aimed at the entire educational trajectory. We conclude with recommendations for actions and advocacy from psychological associations such as the American Psychological Association as well as individual psychologists.","PeriodicalId":48306,"journal":{"name":"Review of General Psychology","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2024-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142181884","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, most research teams have focused on a single predictor at a time, occasionally two. Moreover, most researchers have tended to stay within the theoretical and methodological confines of their subdiscipline (e.g., social psychology vs. personality psychology). Here, we review and integrate evidence across different subdisciplines to propose a constellation of four psychological constructs (disgust sensitivity, preference for order, deontological morality, and social dominance orientation) that, working together, form a more nuanced and fine-grained account of why people are attracted to different ends of the political spectrum. In doing so, we demonstrate the usefulness of moving beyond operationalizing political orientation in a single-dimensional (left-to-right) manner. We suggest that the proposed “4D Model” represents an incremental advance that makes more specific predictions about who will be attracted to which strands of political conservatism.","PeriodicalId":48306,"journal":{"name":"Review of General Psychology","volume":"35 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2024-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141946344","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Care for the kokoro of hospice patients is widely seen as indispensable to the practice of spiritual care in Japan. What is less clear, however, is how care for the “ kokoro” and “spirituality” of patients differ in psychotherapeutic settings. This article first reviews different ways the kokoro is defined and invoked in religious activities, psychotherapeutic settings, and especially in the writings of the modern Buddhist scholar D.T. Suzuki. It then draws on ethnographic fieldwork conducted in Japanese Buddhist and Christian hospices to illustrate how the kokoro is operationalized as both the agent and object of spiritual care. Finally, it considers how recent Japanese scholarship on the Buddhist idea of “ mushin care” (no minded care) simultaneously asserts and subverts the centrality of the kokoro in the practice of spiritual care.","PeriodicalId":48306,"journal":{"name":"Review of General Psychology","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2024-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141946345","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a part of Dangerous Opportunities special issue, we examine the antecedents to racism in psychology, the racist behaviors of psychology and the APA during its existence, and the harmful consequences contributed by racist policies supported or endorsed by psychologists. Additionally, we provide a listing of required changes we view as necessary for the discipline of psychology and the APA (as its primary professional organization) to enact to prepare the discipline and the Association for antiracist activities and to capably and responsibly support and advance antiracist policies outside of psychology in the public interests. Transformation of the discipline and its associations, institutions, and programs is necessary for psychology to remain locally and globally relevant in a culturally diverse and interdependent.
