This article introduces a new research direction, proposing a comprehensive conceptual framework to understand fulfillment in life. The article defines fulfillment as a cognitive-affective experience that is characterized by a sense of wholeness, congruence, and value towards one’s self, life, and impact. This 3 × 3 arrangement forms the structural model of fulfillment, which also serves as the basis for its assessment. Drawing upon qualitative research, we examine how laypersons perceive and experience fulfillment. Additionally, we investigate how a measured fulfilled life differs from related concepts and highlight its strong connection to successful personality development. Our objective is to establish robust conceptual and methodological foundations alongside initial empirical findings, to pave the way for future research on fulfillment.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51556,"journal":{"name":"New Ideas in Psychology","volume":"79 ","pages":"Article 101185"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144703669","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The distinction between anthropogenic and biogenic approaches serves as a useful framework for categorizing the two primary starting points in cognitive research. Based on these classifications, it becomes evident that comparative cognition research incorporates elements of both approaches. Based on empirical research on comparative cognition, it can be observed that comparative cognition tends to be biased towards the anthropogenic approach. While we do not advocate for abandoning the anthropogenic approach, embracing the biogenic approach offers substantial advantages. These advantages include not only practical benefits such as increased empirical research productivity but also significant intellectual gains. Although the biogenic approach does not imply a commitment to a specific philosophy, it shares a high degree of affinity with embodied cognition. We, thus, further suggest that the biogenic approach to comparative cognition can effectively align with the recent trends in ecological psychology and enactivism. Such a shift in approach has the potential to reshape the formulation of research questions and influence the underlying ontological commitments driving the research.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51556,"journal":{"name":"New Ideas in Psychology","volume":"79 ","pages":"Article 101186"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144696669","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As modern urban lifestyles and digital-first sociality isolate us from natural environments and face-to-face connections, there is an associated reduction in these psychological markers of flourishing. One underexplored mechanism for this association is the way that built environments and digital social lives isolate us from appropriately challenging and perspective-shifting chance events and disorder which may be beneficial to our cognitive processes. This paper uses the lens of complexity science and self-organization to examine natural and social disconnection as disconnection from cognitively constructive complexity. It compares findings from multiple disciplines to propose that while built environments and digital isolation protect us from physical and social risks associated with chaotic systems, they also remove us from exposure to beneficial cognitive turbulences which may support positive perceptual shifts, psychological well-being, and meaningful self-expansion. Implications of this conceptualization for future research are also proposed.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51556,"journal":{"name":"New Ideas in Psychology","volume":"79 ","pages":"Article 101182"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144654790","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on cultural psychology and social identity theory, we find parallels between how racial and ethnic identities shape how people interpret and respond to racial diversity and so-called racial and ethnic “differences”, and how generational identity influences people's attitudes and behaviours in age-diverse environments. Comparing three intergroup ideologies relevant to cultural diversity, colourblindness, multiculturalism and polyculturalism, we contend that polyculturalism will best serve age-diverse workplaces by promoting positive intergenerational exchange through deeper appreciation for the dynamic nature of “generational culture” and the interconnectedness of generational groups.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51556,"journal":{"name":"New Ideas in Psychology","volume":"79 ","pages":"Article 101183"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144604506","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On the basis of three converging central dimensions (i.e., information about being liked by others, being positively appraised, and being regarded as an equal), we then propose to distinguish three corresponding forms of self-regard, namely self-love, self-appraisal, and equality-based self-respect. While self-love and self-appraisal (both competence- and character-based conceptions) have already been researched, self-respect, defined as a person's belief in possessing the same rights as others, has been neglected in psychological research. We outline the differential antecedents and consequences of these three dimensions and discuss the (dis)advantages of a tripartite approach compared to uni- and two-dimensional approaches, its intercultural applicability, and potential for future research and interventions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51556,"journal":{"name":"New Ideas in Psychology","volume":"79 ","pages":"Article 101181"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144596638","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study offers an explanation of this phenomenon by identifying counterfactual cultural production as a form of evidence hallucination, where anxiety-reducing cultural and cognitive models are made to be ‘true’ by flooding the perceptual environment with fabricated evidence of their truth. The theoretical framework builds on concepts from information theory, thermodynamics, and active-inference approaches to agent—environment interactions; it is tested against two cultural phenomena—religious evangelism as articulated in the four Gospels of the King James Version (KJV) Bible and symbols of collective identity in the form of national flags. The first study encodes English words into 64 categories using their sensorimotor associations, and predicts that the KJV should address existential anxiety by over-sampling positively valenced words with large semantic size from each sensory category—and in doing so, generate an implicit world-model that is lower in unpredictability than that of background English. The second study predicts that the visual entropy of national flags will positively scale with endogenous anxiety (collective worry about internal conflict) and that internal contrast will negatively scale with exogenous anxiety (collective worry about external threats)—with contrast anchoring entropy in the low contrast position. These studies are consistent with the view (but do not prove) that it is possible to predict detailed features of high-level cultural activity from affective dispositions using a straightforward formalism and without a ‘thick’ model of human cognition.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51556,"journal":{"name":"New Ideas in Psychology","volume":"79 ","pages":"Article 101179"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144563185","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This model proposes that: (1) Information is not something itself but it is always about something; (2) Information is not an object but a relationship; (3) Information is an emergent property of interfaces; (4) Information is the subset of elements of a given instance connected, related, caused, or paired with elements of another instance; (5) Information is present in the universe at all organizational levels including mental states; (6) Information is physically made of the same substance as the instance that acquires the information. We introduce the concepts of codable and non-codable elements of information to account for the emergence of meaning and qualia. The contribution of these concepts to the discussions about the emergence of meaning and the structure of self are discussed.

In the initial explicit metaphorical stage, a mathematical entity is metaphorically described in terms of abstract symbols. Abstract symbols serve as the source domain of this metaphorical stage. In the subsequent implicit metaphorical stage, abstract symbols are metaphorically conceptualized and understood in terms of space and spatial elements. Abstract symbols serve as the target domain of this stage. While the explicit metaphorical stage has a clearly-observable manifestation in the semiotic system of abstract mathematical symbols, the implicit metaphorical stage does not have such a realization in any semiotic system or cultural artifact.
