What are the similarities and differences in Western and non-Western cultures concerning the Sternberg Theory of Love?

[yume816]

Which is more correct? The need for one to explore and be secure with oneself before getting into a relationship or the use of relationship to grow and be secure with oneself in who he/she is and what he/she has to offer.

[connerfr]

@yume816 - Outstanding question. The reality of living is that it is full of dichotomies. This is one of the biggies. You need to have a deep sense of yourself as well as a trust for others. Current models of Attachment use this cross-axis model to as a strong predictor of the kind of relationships we may have. As a baby, we start with others, but as gain more control over our world, we need to explore and grow regardless of our experiences. So, it's both.

what is spiritual growth? to gain wisdom and enlightenment.This is where it starts to get unclear because wisdom and enlightenment mean differently to different people

For example, an abusive lover may think in his (or her) head that he loves someone because he has wisdom to offer to that someone. And he may use fear and abuse to keep that someone from not trying to run away from him. It could also be that the abuser thinks he gains wisdom from that someone so he trys not to loose that someone.

[connerfr]

@applechowder - Yes, but as I've defined love, abuse is something else. Love is about enhancing one's growth and development, but not at the expense of another.

Hi this video was informative and helped me recognizing people, okay now can a compliant individual and Aggressive individual (with high superego and id) be together for a long period of time? i have herd that the personality may be altered by major life events like death of mother or marriage or migrating to some other place.. is it really true that a person's personality change with maturity level????

[connerfr]

@MsRohan20 - Personality really doesn't change much over time. However, what does change is how it is manifest in an individual's life. Functional adults learn to mediate those parts of one's personality that are less functional and to lead with those parts of one's personality that are rewarded. However, in parallel to that is a greater cultural context and an individuals ability to create a goodness of fit between his or her personality and his or her daily life.

[Faithmaster]

I really enjoyed the lecture given. I was some great food for thought and was very informative. I am going to recommend my friends to see this.

[killcreek666]

Every time he says the word cant it makes me cringe, they teach us that we are our brain and can do nothing about it except try to make a better judgment. If you believe this then you are just as brainwashed as the one's that teach this crap, thinking this way will keep us from evolving our minds and stop us from creating a completely new thought process that will change the world as we know it.

[orangeredemption]

Awesome lecture, boring students.

[Wiggyify]

thanks a million

[mrsbaguette]

omg the students are kinda pathetic. This was such an interesting lecture yet they had so few stimulating questions :\

[acorn0808]

very good video and instruction. thank you

[kitari]

the part about being outgoing and yet freeze up around your partner or someone you're interested in? maybe it's an issue about intimacy. i get that too..

[pmccarthy001]

I've watched this video about half way through... it's at the 50 minute mark now. Certainly I'm not a psychologist, and I realize that psychology is a "soft" science, but this seems a lot like my John Bradshaw videos and cassettes. John Bradshaw is fine, but personally I don't think it's science. I was seeking information more quantifiable, more objective,... What is 'spiritual growth'? My mistake... perhaps sociobiology or physiological psychology might be more what I'm seeking.

[1rd69]

@pmccarthy001 Being a student a of psychology..i can very well say psychology *is* a science, though not as objective as natural sciences like Physics & Chemistry, primarily because of its subject matter "human being". Its aim is to describe human behavior and other related things as objectively as possible and while doing so it doesnt hesitate to use mathematical analysis and models wherever possible, On a ending note, this series is intended to stimulate interest in psychology not douse it ;-)
