Psychosexual Fixations and Personality

Image
Understanding how  personality  develops - how we become who we end up as - is one of the ‘holy grails’ of modern  Psychology . Since psychologists can’t even agree a definition of ‘personality’, however, that’s no easy task As the aim of Integrated SocioPsychology is to align and integrate the  behavioural sciences , exploring common ground in theories of personality, to arrive both at a definition of it and an understanding of the forces (both internal and external which shape the development of personality is a key consideration. One of the most important theories to consider is that of the great  Sigmund Freud . ‘Oral aggressive’ people are often perceived as greedy and acquisitive, envious, pessimistic, cynical, sarcastic, scornful and contemptuous. Orally-fixated people often seek gratification through smoking, thumb-sucking, nail-biting and chewing objects like pens and pencils. A predilection for oral sex is also seen as an ind...

Barnum Effect

I am sure that most of you have seen those posts which claim to tell you your personality by the way you sleep, by the way you eat Oreos, by the date you were born (astrology & horoscopes), by what your favorite color is, etc. You may be surprised at how many people actually believe in these personality “tests” (maybe you do, too?).

Nomophobia & Smartphone Addiction Among Children

Image
Nomophobia & Smartphone Addiction Among Children The term “addiction” is usually associated with alcoholism and drug abuse. Yet people do get addicted to different stimulants that are quite legal substances. Smartphones changed our primary concept of a cell phone. It is no longer used strictly to establish audio communication. Smartphones allow us to have our camera, GPS navigator, video game terminal, and even our own library in hand. Nevertheless, the biggest and most important aspect is that a smartphone gives us access to the Internet. Nomophobia (no-mobile-phobia) is defined as the fear of being out of cell phone contact. Have you thought about how long you can go without checking your cell phone? How about your children and their smartphones? The problem among teens is that they have become so engrossed with their smartphones that they are missing the world around them. So-called smartphone zombies are now walking during class breaks and at hom...
