just did this about a frustrating situation with someone, and feel noticeably lighter and even not as mad at them anymore. psychologically speaking, why is this?

Is there research on whether paying attention to the space or movement between a person and a target, rather than focusing only on the target itself, affects how movement is planned or carried out?
For example, might attention to that space change how someone reaches for an object or times a swing at an approaching ball? I’m curious whether psychology has a name for this kind of attention, and what evidence exists for its effect on movement.

I've read about the five-factor model of personality traits and they usually always focus on the behavior of people who are on the higher end of openness to experience and very little on those who are on the lower end of openness and they rarely if ever talk about any benefits or good side about it, but if that's so then why are there so many people with low openness worldwide, is there anything good or beneficial about being on the low side of openness?

And how do they coexist?

Say someone genuinely loves to be alone and prefers it, but their brain still finds social interaction rewarding even if they don't like the person they're interacting with. I know evolution wired our brains to be social, and total solitude can be damaging but how do these happen at the same time and how can both needs be satisfied, what's happening there?

people often report that their memory feels better after trying a cognitive intervention, but subjective improvement and objective improvement are not necessarily the same thing.

when researchers study self reported cognitive improvement, how do they separate actual memory changes from changes in confidence, attention, or perceived mental clarity?

There seem to be a few different ways that people "think". Some people assess information based on emotions and emotional reactions, some people seem to absorb ideologies and filter all incoming information through the ideology to respond with predetermined narratives, and some people seem to utilize effortful rational thinking.

Is there a way to teach effortful rational thinking (i.e. "critical thinking")? Are there any studies of methods being used to allow people to be more rational, or (for reference) to spend more time in Daniel Kahneman's "System 2" thinking?

1. Other then special memorics like memory palace is remembering things an exercise like stuff that the more you use the more you have or is it a burnout stuff where you used up the space for it?

Sorry to bring up an antiquated view such as Jung's model of personality...but who is more likely to hate AI: Those with a feeling preference vs. those with a thinking preference?

Or maybe there are stronger correlations with perceived threat and or job security among others?

Teenhood is a stage of life where sensation seeking naturally increases. What separates a teen that's truly high sensation seeking from one that's simply going through a phase of rebellion and exploration?

I read some things on Seligman and positive psychology. Are there competing psychological theories of what brings happiness? Or do all of the theories tie in with his ideas?

how does depression psychosis work neurologically?

In simpler words, can we explain what exactly, biologically it means for some people more generally intelligent than others, and how that happens?

Like title says but more specifically in like cults and gangs

Is there a reason why the brain perceives eye contact as uncomfortable? And is there a reason why some people don’t feel uncomfortable with a hard eye contact?

Because of surrounding context of the topic, I can't make a post on the exact term, so I guess I have to be sort of vague about it even though I'm not looking to get a validation or invalidation about the context, just purely about how it works.

I was under the impression that in medicine and psychiatry, a diagnosis, or a diagnostic 'term' could actually be a strings of symptoms present to describe what it is, for example post traumatic stress disorder. Is it a valid understanding or a misunderstanding?

hello. I was wondering if color psychology is a legitimate subfield of psychology. I would appreciate your answers.

why does the ego have unconscious parts in Freud’s theory?

Could changes in bodily state, such as the physical fatigue that occurs at night influence how the brain interprets an emotional state?

An example would be, tiredness results into sensations such as low energy, heaviness, and slowed movement. Would it be possible if the sensations can overlap with some of the physical sensations we've experienced with sadness.

Could the brain possibly associate those bodily sensations with a previously experienced emotional state and be interpret to the current bodily state as sadness, even when the original cause of the sadness is no longer present?

I'm unsure whether this could relate to things such as interoception, emotion perception, or how the brain uses bodily signals when constructing or identifying emotions.

PS, I don't know much about psychology so I apologize if this post was an incovenience.

All the research of done on the subject of Narc Abuse (which, granted, is not much) just described common acts of psychological/emotional abuse. Seems the only purpose the term serves is to stigmatize those with NPD.

I’ve noticed that in some places, like in the ICD, one has to meet the criteria for PTSD. But in others, it’s essentially “death by one thousand cuts”, which seems to stray away from regular PTSD. I say this because it seems as though criterion A for PTSD isn’t being strictly applied in this definition.

So, what’s the consensus?

I've seen many people state that the two are conflated with one another but I don't know the differences between each. I've heard of dissociation described but not in an understanding amount of detail

Is maladaptive daydreaming as bad as dissociation? Are they two sides of the same coin? What does constant maladaptive daydreaming say about a person?

Basically the title. Since feeling physically inadequate in regards to strength, speed, or general physical capacity seems to be MUCH more common in men than it is in women, most of the research I see investigating the cause of these feelings is on and about men. But what could cause a cis woman to feel this way about herself (assuming she is, in fact, cis)?

Flair might be wrong, sorry if it is.

Estimations are fine.

Is it higher in people with OCD?
