Examining the effect of combat excitement & diminished civilian solidarity on life satisfaction for American veterans
This study demonstrates that high levels of combat excitement correlated with lower life satisfaction and lower civilian solidarity for participants in their civilian lives after leaving an active duty setting. Furthermore, civilians solidarity had a strong positive correlation with life satisfaction for participants. Ultimately, this study looks at how significant strong civilian relationships are vital to the health and life satisfaction of veterans as they leave active duty, as well as how combat excitement can weaken the tendency of veterans to have strong civilian relationships after service.

The connectivity / conversion paradigm - A new approach to the classification of psychosomatic disorders
Publication date: Available online 14 August 2018Source: New Ideas in PsychologyAuthor(s): Lutz Goetzmann, Adrian Siegel, Barbara RuettnerAbstractThe classification systems DSM-5 and ICD-10/11 are predominantly based on a phenomenological description of psychic disorders. Psychological and neurobiological findings are only marginally considered. In a conceptual framework, the article proposes a classification system for psychosomatic disorders encompassing descriptive, psychological, and neurobiological aspects. We suggest “connectivity” (neurobiological term)/“conversion” (psychological term) as the common factor ...

Approach, avoidance, and the detection of conflict in the development of behavioral inhibition
Publication date: Available online 4 August 2018Source: New Ideas in PsychologyAuthor(s): Tyson V. Barker, George A. Buzzell, Nathan A. FoxAbstractMotivation has played an integral role in understanding personality development. Two motivational systems, one associated with seeking reward (approach motivation) and one associated with avoidance of threat (avoidance motivation), have been theorized to represent individual differences in behavioral responses to the environment. However, contextual factors, particularly those with a high degree of novelty, ambiguity, and unpredictability, may simultaneously activate both system...

When robots appear to have a mind: The human perception of machine agency and responsibility
Publication date: Available online 27 November 2017Source: New Ideas in PsychologyAuthor(s): Sophie van der Woerdt, Pim HaselagerAbstractAn important topic in the field of social and developmental psychology is how humans attribute mental traits and states to others. With the growing presence of robots in society, humans are confronted with a new category of social agents. This paper presents an empirical study demonstrating how psychological theory may be used for the human interpretation of robot behavior. Specifically, in this study we applied Weiner's Theory of Social Conduct as a theoretical background for studying at...

Does it matter when we want to Be alone? Exploring developmental timing effects in the implications of unsociability
Publication date: Available online 3 February 2018Source: New Ideas in PsychologyAuthor(s): Robert J. Coplan, Laura L. Ooi, Danielle BaldwinAbstractUnsociability is a characteristic that refers to individual differences in the non-fearful preference for solitude. There is continued debate pertaining to the potential costs and benefits of solitude for our well-being. In this essay, we consider various approaches to the conceptualization and measurement of unsociability, and explore its implications for socio-emotional functioning. Further, we propose a somewhat speculative theoretical model of developmental timing effects f...

Prenatal influences on the development and stability of personality
Publication date: Available online 12 February 2018Source: New Ideas in PsychologyAuthor(s): John E. Krzeczkowski, Ryan J. Van LieshoutAbstractThe brain rapidly develops during the prenatal period; therefore, intrauterine conditions can affect neurodevelopment, behavior and health across the lifespan. The developmental origins of health and disease hypothesis posits that physiological alterations are made by the fetus to adapt to prenatal conditions. Research examining links between perinatal adversity and neurodevelopment has focused mainly on the risk for mental health problems. However, these disorders are likely the pr...

Personality development in the context of individual traits and parenting dynamics
Publication date: Available online 16 March 2018Source: New Ideas in PsychologyAuthor(s): Berenice Anaya, Koraly Pérez-EdgarAbstractOur conceptualization of adult personality and childhood temperament can be closely aligned in that they both reflect endogenous, likely constitutional dispositions. Empirical studies of temperament have focused on measuring systematic differences in emotional reactions, motor responses, and physiological states that we believe may contribute to the underlying biological components of personality. Although this work has provided some insight into the early origins of personality, we still lac...

Culture and shyness in childhood and adolescence
Publication date: Available online 2 May 2018Source: New Ideas in PsychologyAuthor(s): Xinyin ChenAbstractShyness refers to anxious reactivity in challenging social situations. Whereas shyness is believed to be biologically rooted, individual socialization experiences play a role in shaping its development. In this paper, I discuss issues related to culture, different forms of shyness, and adjustment. Cultural beliefs and values, particularly those related to socialization goals, are reflected in adults' and peers' attitudes toward children's shy behavior, which ascribe meaning to the behavior and, at the same time, regula...

Personality development among Indigenous youth in Canada: Weaving together universal and community-specific perspectives
Publication date: Available online 3 May 2018Source: New Ideas in PsychologyAuthor(s): Jacob A. Burack, Erin Gurr, Emily Stubbert, Vanessa WevaAbstractIn trying to cobble together a mosaic of information to better understand the disparate and complex issues affecting personality development of the Indigenous youth of Canada, we highlight the need for multiple perspectives. We suggest that pertinent theories from academic psychology, especially those of sociocultural theory and social identity theory, are useful in framing evidence relevant to understanding personality development among Indigenous youth in Canada, but also ...

On the bifurcation of temperamental shyness: Development, adaptation, and neoteny
Publication date: Available online 3 May 2018Source: New Ideas in PsychologyAuthor(s): Louis A. Schmidt, Kristie L. PooleAbstractIn the present paper, the authors use Tinbergen's (1963) seminal four question framework regarding ontogeny, causation, function, and phylogeny to understand individual differences in human shyness. We argue that there are at least two shyness subtypes, an early appearing fearful shyness, and a later emerging self-conscious shyness (Buss, 1986) that develop into avoidant and conflicted shyness, respectively, in early childhood and remain relatively stable into adulthood. We proffer that each shyn...
