Vomik posted:isn’t it sociologists who study societal problems there are psychologists who do that. last week i sat in on a researcher's presentation of their work about neoliberalism and mental health outcomes being mediated by precarity. however, they did really try to drive in the point that this type of research is pretty rare in psychology and there needs to be more of it, though a lot of things in how psychological research and practice has been institutionalized thwarts that basically by design. I can't say the study was really done that well unfortunately. I've never really studied sociology and don't know any sociologists but it always felt like a big missing chunk from psychology for no reason except ones that serve the ruling class. e: to clarify i am discussing in a USA context. this isn't necessarily the case elsewhere but tends to be in places under USA/APA influence in psychology. mawarannahr has issued a correction as of 19:16 on Mar 16, 2024 |

Clark Nova posted:modern psychology is mostly focused on exacerbating and papering over the problems caused by capitalism as its overall function pretty much, yes like nowadays most of their job is countering the psychologists that tobacco/gambling/etc companies hire to build addictions wider & deeper, definitely not doing nothing the way most alt medicine is and they'd still have a role outside of capitalism they just prolly wouldn't constantly have new problems/situations every week in a system where exploiting and compromising an individuals decision-making abilities wasn't so rewarding bc of capitalism

Hong Kong Adopts Sweeping Security Laws, Bowing to Beijing Check out these scare quotes. It also targets offenses like “external interference” and the theft of state secrets, creating potential risks for multinational companies and international groups operating in the Asian financial center.

When Hong Kong targets "outside influence", it's scary and wrong. When we target "outside influence", it's just common sense.

Going through this book. Why is it useless? It makes good cases that seem to map well to my real world observations, if anything so far it's often times more humanizing than what I thought they were doing which is being deliberately full of poo poo even in the company of close friends. I've observed a basic inability to follow syllogisms in some people even not in political contexts and the personalities check out too. Is it the lack of answers or actions? I'm really curious. Sorry for the necroposting here.

The whole concept is very stupid (both that people are predisposed to such beliefs, and the very idea that "authoritarianism" is a coherent concept to begin with), and the book seems to imply that nations like the US (at least under liberals) aren't "authoritarian." Apparently Altemeyer went on to co-author a book about "the danger of Trump's followers" lol

Authoritarianism as a behavior in people is absolutely real. It's what makes people ask the teacher for homework or call for mods when discussions aren't entirely to their taste.

That sort of thing isn't binary though and depends entirely on a person's specific circumstances/environment. It's not like some people just naturally have a disposition to be "authoritarian." Also, that book definitely uses a stupid definition of "authoritarian" that is basically "Donald Trump and the Bad Countries like China and North Korea."

It's not like some people just naturally have a disposition to be "authoritarian." As for the part about it not being a binary, I'm not sure that's true? Being an authoritarian does not have to mean listening to everyone who proclaims themselves an authority, just that you outsource your thinking to people who you do deem an authority.
