*CONTROLLING HUMAN INSTINCTS* “In general, the role of instincts has been exaggerated, and early training, underrated; the most powerful instincts, such as sex and pugnacity, have been considerably modified and controlled by social training; and there is no reason why other instincts, like those of acquisition and mastery, should not be similarly modified by social influence and education. We must unlearn our ideas about unchangeable human nature and an omnipotent environment. There is no knowable limit to change or growth; and perhaps there is nothing impossible but thinking makes it so.” (John Dewey 1859-1952) #Philosophy #Psychology #Law #Lawyer #Humanity #Education #Training #Management #Thursdaythought #Morality #Politics #Politicians

In the pursuit of collective decision-making, the rights and autonomy of individuals can be sacrificed. This not only undermines the principles of democracy but also limits personal freedoms and inhibits the ability of individuals to express themselves and pursue their own interests and aspirations.

One of the things I talk with students about is duty to warn. Each state has different rules, but learning the history can be very enlightening. https://lnkd.in/eddxsTZg

Professor Stark embarked on a quest to redefine our understanding of domestic abuse through the lens of coercive control. His seminal work, including the influential book “Coercive Control: How Men Entrap Women in Personal Life,” challenged conventional wisdom and exposed the systemic patterns of power and control that underlie abusive relationships. ? Through meticulous research and compelling narratives, Professor Stark illuminated the mechanisms through which perpetrators manipulate, dominate, and subjugate their partners, extending far beyond physical violence. #coercivecontrol #domesticabuse #domesticviolence #mensviolenceagainstwomen #violenceagainstwomen #ProfessorEvanStark #EvanStark #sociologist #ForensicSocialWorker #Author #AwardWinningResearcher #socialworker #researcher #legal #policy #health #InterpersonalViolence

?? ?????????????????? ?????? ???????????? ???? ?????????????????? ???????????????????? ?? As a Criminologist deeply invested in understanding the nuances of the justice process, I find myself drawn to the fascinating realm of courtroom psychology. Within this domain lies a wealth of insights that illuminate the intricate interplay between human behavior and legal proceedings. ?? ?????????????? ??????????????????????: In every trial, assessing the credibility of witnesses becomes paramount. Delving into their demeanor, consistency, and potential biases unveils crucial layers of truth essential for the pursuit of justice. ?? ???????????????????? ????????????????????: Crafting compelling narratives is not just the realm of legal practitioners. Leveraging psychological principles like framing and cognitive biases empowers us to shape arguments that resonate with judges, ensuring that justice is not just sought but served. ?? ????????????????-???????????? ??????????????????: Even within the halls of justice, cognitive biases can sway decision-making. By understanding these biases - from the primacy effect to the halo effect - we gain valuable insights into the reasoning behind legal judgments. ?? ???????????? ??????????????????: Behind every expert witness lies a wealth of psychological understanding. Their testimony not only sheds light on complex human behaviors but also serves as a guiding beacon in the pursuit of truth and integrity within the justice process. In our quest to unravel the mysteries of the justice system, courtroom psychology emerges as a crucial lens through which we can better comprehend the complexities at play. As Criminologists, let us continue to explore and integrate these psychological insights, enriching our understanding of justice and advancing the cause of fairness and equity. #CourtroomPsychology #CriminologyInsights #JusticeProcess ??????

Yesterday my video post was about Basic Assumption Fight Flight (BaFF). This opinion piece by Claudine Gay, former President of Harvard University, exemplifies one way that BaFF has been manifesting in American society over the last several years, as so-called "conservatives" attempt to sew fear and mistrust in our political and social institutions with lies and bullying, while at the same time doing nothing to help us face our actual adaptive challenges. #SystemsThinking #BasicAssumptions #SystemsPsychodynamics #Politics #AdaptiveLeadership

"In her challenging book Epistemic Care (2023), Casey Rebecca Johnson argues that we have epistemic obligations to one another that stem from our social interdependence as knowers. Drawing on care ethics, she develops a framework for understanding these obligations, emphasizing the importance of identifying people's epistemic vulnerabilities while suggesting that the better-informed are responsible for ensuring epistemic labor's fair distribution." — Mark D. West. 2024. “Epistemic Care and Paternalism: A Review of Casey Rebecca Johnson’s Epistemic Care.” SERRC?13 (6): 60–64. https://wp.me/p1Bfg0-8Wm.

?????? ???????? ???????? ???? ???????????????????? Psychology’s influence on societal norms raises concerns about moral erosion, as practices like moral relativism oversimplify human nature. Ethical issues arise from unethical experimentation and the influence of the pharmaceutical industry. A distressing case of child abuse involving YouTuber Ruby Franke and her partner, Jodi Hildebrandt, led to Franke’s 60-year prison sentence. The children endured physical and emotional abuse, coerced into believing they were evil. Franke showed remorse, but both women pleaded guilty. Accountability extends to Hildebrandt, emphasizing the need for child protection efforts and encouraging individuals to speak up if they witness signs of abuse. Individuals must carefully choose who speaks into their psyche, as what they consume as knowledge impacts their worldview and actions. Guarding one’s hearing is essential in navigating the complexities of psychological influence. https://lnkd.in/dw5dRcTa
