    Finding Your Strength/ Leadership theory Leadership Toolbox Podcast Transcript Centennial Student Union & Student Activities Minnesota State University, Mankato Welcome to the Student Activities’ Online Leadership Toolbox. My name is Greg Wilkins, and I am the Associate Director of Student Activities at Minnesota State Mankato. I am going to be your podcast guide. This podcast is about finding your strength through your leadership style. I will focus this conversation with the work of Kurt Lewin, a psychologist and leadership theorist. In 1939, a group of researchers led by psychologist Kurt Lewin set out to identify different styles of leadership. While further research has identified more specific types of leadership, this early study was very influential and established three major leadership styles. In the study, groups of schoolchildren were assigned to one of three groups with an authoritarian, democratic or laissez‐fair leader. The children were then led in an arts and crafts project. Researchers then observed the behavior of children in response to the different styles of leadership. Authoritarian Leadership (Autocratic) Authoritarian leaders, also known as autocratic leaders provide clear expectations for what needs to be done, when it should be done, and how it should be done. There is also a clear division between the leader and the followers. Authoritarian leaders make decisions independently with little or no input from the rest of the group. Researchers found that decision‐making was less creative under authoritarian leadership. Lewin also found that it is more difficult to move from an authoritarian style to a democratic style than vice versa. Abuse of this style is usually viewed as controlling, bossy, and dictatorial.

  • The Stream of Desire and Jung's Concept of Psychic Energy
    The stream of desire and Jung’s concept of psychic energy Raya A. Jones Whether energy is God or God is energy concerns me very little, for how, in any case, can I know such things? But to give appropriate psychological explanations — this I must be able to do. (C. G. Jung) 1 It is a remarkable quality of Jung’s legacy that it appeals across diverse disciplines, but I put the above statement upfront as a reminder that as a therapist Jung was concerned first and foremost with explaining the kind of phenomena that clinicians confront in their patients. If a concept of energy or libido does the job, so to speak, that’s more important than whether the concept is metaphysically sound or not. Nevertheless, Jung did attempt to articulate a cogent theory of what precisely psychic energy might be. His theorizing about psychic energy took off in the 1912 monograph, Psychology of the Unconscious which four decades later was lightly revised as Symbols of Transformation.2 Seeking the appropriate psychological explanation for patients’ symptoms, he argued that the Freudian notion of libido as sexual energy is inapplicable to dementia praecox since the illness is associated with the generation of a fantasy world rather than with heightened sexuality. This argument set him on a line of 1 C.G. Jung, Collected Works, ed. Sir H. Read, M. Fordham, G. Adler, and W.

  • Personality Theory in Gestalt Theoretical Psycho- Therapy: Kurt Lewin’S Field Theory and His Theory of Systems in Tension Revisited
    GESTALT THEORY, DOI 10.2478/gth-2021-0002 © 2020 (ISSN 2519-5808); Vol. 43, No. 1, 29–46 Original Contributions - Originalbeiträge Bernadette Lindorfer1,2 Personality Theory in Gestalt Theoretical Psycho- therapy: Kurt Lewin’s Field Theory and his Theory of Systems in Tension Revisited 1. Introduction Psychotherapy is an intentional, planned, interactional process, which implies that the therapist has theoretical ideas about the human person and its func- tioning and about the nature and functioning of such an interactional process. Whether explicit or implicit, naïve or scientific, every psychotherapist has some kind of personality theory that guides her/his actions. One can understand a client’s anxiety as a punishment from God, as an innate constitutional trait, a learned reaction, an expression of unresolved instinctual conflicts, or as a result of the client’s psychological situation. Depending on her/his assumptions—whether or not she/he is aware of them—the therapist will experience the situation dif- ferently and will differently interact with her/him. Since psychotherapy schools consider themselves to be scientific, they are asked to make explicit assumptions, and thus also render these debatable and verifiable. By also reflecting on their own implicit, naïve, and prescientific personality conceptions, therapists further improve their ability to recognize and understand the naïve “personality theories” that underlie their clients’ experiences. Scientific personality theories intend to describe, explain, and predict the in- dividual peculiarities in the experiencing and behavior of people. Usually, they include terms and concepts about the personality structure and its dynamics and development. To date, no consensual paradigm exists, but there are many diffe- rent approaches in academic psychology and in the field of psychotherapy.

  • Review Life and Work of the Psychologist Bluma Zeigarnik (1901
    Review Neurosciences and History 2018; 6(3): 116-124 Life and work of the psychologist Bluma Zeigarnik (1901-1988) M. Marco Department of Neurology. Hospital Parc Taulí, Sabadell, Barcelona, Spain. ABSTRACT Bluma Zeigarnik is one of the most important figures in Soviet psychology. She was initially linked to Kurt Lewin’s Gestalt psychology in Berlin in the 1920s, and described the famous “Zeigarnik effect” with respect to interrupted tasks. After returning to the USSR in 1931, she was in contact with members of the cultural-historical school of psychology and worked in the field of pathopsychology, a discipline at the intersection between psychology and psychiatry, but belonging to the first. During the Second World War, she worked in the neuropsychological rehabilitation of patients with head trauma, and showed interest in lobotomy in the post-war years. A Jew, and stigmatised for having lived in Germany, she suffered Stanilist persecution in both her personal and her scientific life. Rehabilitated after the death of the dictator, she gained international recognition in the final years of her long life, during which she maintained her scientific and academic activity. KEYWORDS Bluma Zeigarnik, psychopathology, “Zeigarnik effect,” Stalinism, Kurt Lewin, Susanna Rubinshtein Introduction This work aims to raise awareness of this figure, both in terms of her personal life and her scientific and In the context of the Russian/Soviet neurosciences, professional activity. the cultural-historical school of psychology occupies a central position, led by Lev Vygotsky and other relevant Material and methods scientific figures including his two “Troika” colleagues I reviewed the international literature on the life and Aleksandr Luria, founder of modern neuropsychology, work of Bluma Zeigarnik, and consulted some relevant and Aleksei Leontiev, with the support of a distinguished works published in Russian, her native language.

However, it was not until the 11th century that the Persian physician Avicenna attributed a connection between emotions and physical responses in a practice roughly dubbed "physiological psychology." Some consider the 17th and 18th centuries the birth of modern psychology (largely characterized by the publication of William Battie's "Treatise on Madness" in 1758). Others consider the mid- 19th century experiments done in Hermann von Helmholtz's lab to be the start of modern psychology. Many say that 1879, when Wilhelm Wundt established the first experimental psychology lab, was the true beginning of psychology as we know it. From that moment forward, the study of psychology would continue to evolve as it does today. Highlighting that transformation were a number of important, landmark events.

  • Perception and Identification of Random Events
    Journal of Experimental Psychology: © 2014 American Psychological Association Human Perception and Performance 0096-1523/14/$12.00 http://dx.doi.org/10.1037/a0036816 2014, Vol. 40, No. 4, 1358–1371 Perception and Identification of Random Events Jiaying Zhao Ulrike Hahn University of British Columbia Birkbeck College, University of London Daniel Osherson Princeton University The cognition of randomness consists of perceptual and conceptual components. One might be able to discriminate random from nonrandom stimuli, yet be unable to identify which is which. In a series of experiments, we compare the ability to distinguish random from nonrandom stimuli to the accuracy with which given stimuli are identified as “random.” In a further experiment, we also evaluate the encoding hypothesis according to which the tendency of a stimulus to be labeled random varies with the cognitive difficulty of encoding it (Falk & Konold, 1997). In our experiments, the ability to distinguish random from nonrandom stimuli is superior to the ability to correctly label them. Moreover, for at least 1 class of stimuli, difficulty of encoding fails to predict the probability of being labeled random, providing evidence against the encoding hypothesis. Keywords: randomness, perception, texture, alternation bias How people understand randomness has been a question of bling (e.g., Dreman, 1977; Ladouceur, Sylvain, Letarte, Giroux, & longstanding interest in psychology. The ability to apprehend Jacques, 1998; Manski, 2006; Michalczuk, Bowden-Jones, randomness is fundamental to cognition since it involves noticing Verdejo-Garcia, & Clark, 2011). Experience with randomness may structure, or the lack thereof, in the environment (Bar-Hillel & also influence religious beliefs (Kay, Moscovitch, & Laurin, Wagenaar, 1991).
