A new method for the empirical study of the Freudian concept of repression is proposed based on an implicit memory paradigm and a procedure of bringing current test stimuli into association with individualized conflictual material, some of which was previously repressed, such that the new stimuli, in turn, become subject to repression themselves. Implicit memory is revealed when there is enhanced performance on a task related to a previously exposed stimulus without explicit memory or conscious recall of that stimulus. Ninety-two college undergraduates were exposed to a list of matched sexual, "upset", and neutral words and then tested for their memory of those words using word stem completion and free recall. During the exposure phase, the experimental group was asked to think about an early sexual memory, in order to activate conflictual material, and to bring it into association with the stimulus words, while the control group thought about a neutral memory. The hypothesis is that there would be a diminished implicit memory effect for sexual words that had been brought into association with previously repressed material by the experimental procedure. Contrary to the hypothesis, implicit memory was significantly greater for the sexual words compared with the "upset" and neutral words. There was also a significant correlation between implicit memory and subjects' rating of the early memory, such that more unpleasant sexual memories were associated with increased implicit memory for sexual words and more unpleasant neutral memories were associated with increased implicit memory for upset words. Several explanations are offered for the results but it is suggested that the priming and word stem completion procedure offered subjects a relatively conflict-free avenue for discharge of loaded material and thus repression was unnecessary. The general methodology of using individualized conflictual material, that affects current stimuli, to study repression merits further investigation but efforts need to be made to minimize ways in which subjects can bypass the conflict. In addition, if subtle stimulus words and minimal cuing techniques are used, implicit memory remains a fruitful arena for the study of repression.

Ashley, Aaron L. "Repression in the young and elderly : impression management or self-deception?" Virtual Press, 2000. http://liblink.bsu.edu/uhtbin/catkey/1179128.
Full textAbstract:
The construct of repression has received a resurgence of experimental attention in the past 20 years, due in large part to the development of the typology method of classification (Weinberger, Schwartz, and Davidson, 1979). According to the typology method, individuals are classified as repressors if they self-report low anxiety and high social desirability. Since the typology method of classification does not differentiate between the two factors comprising social desirability (impression management and self-deception), it is important to determine which component is actually characterizing repressors, or whether it is a combination of the two. The present study examined two questions; (1) are repressors engaging in self-deception, impression management, or both and (2) does the construct of repression change as a function of age? Results suggest that in a college age population self-deception characterized the repressor memory; in an elderly population present negative mood state was the only variable predicting repressive memory.Department of Psychological Science

Full textAbstract:
Masculinity and femininity are taken for granted as being a natural part of everyday existence forming acceptable images of what it means to be a man and a woman. It is revealed that in conforming to the sexual stereotype of what it means to be masculine and feminine, men's repression of their emotional life forms a counterpart of their oppression of women, for the repression of men's emotional life as a process, manifests itself through the oppression of women. The socioeconomic relations, being exploitative in nature, having been obscured and mystified by masculine and feminine forms of false consciousness, justify the prevalent social circumstances by portraying them as natural and inevitable, thus serving to hide the fact that men and women comprise of both, masculine and feminine characteristics. Disclosing the quality of the experience of men's repression of their emotional life as a counterpart of their oppression of women, through qualitative description and reflection, it is evident that individuality and human social relationships are restricted by the constraints of masculine and feminine stereotypes. It is clearly highlighted, that women help to perpetuate the repression of male emotional life and in turn their own oppression through supporting the successful work, status and power oriented 'macho' male. Through the recognition of the pressures, and a re-evaluation of the masculine role, men will no longer see cause to oppress women and through that there will no longer be a need to repress their own emotional life. There is a need for self-reflection in those individuals and groups restricted by the constraints of masculinity and femininity for the realization of new possibilities of enlightened social action and individuality.

Full textAbstract:
A theoretical analysis of the relationship between social structure and cognitive structure is presented. Based upon this analysis, a study was done in which the cognitive activity of high and low self-esteem (SE) women was assessed under some particular social conditions. The factors manipulated were: focus of attention on either orientation toward a career or on orientation toward family; activation (via priming) of either the cognitive structure encoding masculine tendencies or that containing information on feminine tendencies; and perceptions of how well family and career functions fit together for most women. The primary dependent measures used were tests of hand-eye coordination, of creativity, of memory and of level of negative emotion. The results partially supported the hypotheses. They indicated four-way interactions for the recall measure and for one measure of use of defense mechanisms. Two three-way interactions were observed in the analysis of the measure of creativity. The measure of emotion showed only a main-effect of the focus-of-attention manipulation, such that women in the family-focus condition exhibited significantly more emotion. There were no significant effects on the measure of hand-eye coordination. High self-esteem subjects were much more likely to use defense mechanisms, including repression of threatening information. Conflict increased creativity only when focus of attention was congruent with chronic or situationally-induced (masculine or feminine) tendencies. The applicability to this data of both cognitive-psychological and psychodynamic concepts and mechanisms is assessed. It is concluded that neither theory can completely account for the data. Some practical implications of the findings are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
This study estimated the association between aggressive behavior and two different types of emotion regulation, one operating on the conscious level with voluntary effort (i.e., suppression) and the other operating on the unconscious level with involuntary effort, or automatically (i.e., repression). Results from a correlation analysis among self-assessed suppression and repression and other-rated aggressive behavior showed that repression is more significantly linked to aggressive behavior than suppression. Further investigation using physiological and neural assessments was performed to determine the critical properties, including cardiac reactivity and neural substrates, of repression related to aggressive behavior. Based on the findings from multiple approaches in assessment, this study suggests that unconscious emotion change inferred from self-assessed repression (in Study 1) and neural activity (in Study 2) more significantly predicts aggressive behavior than personality. Implications for both aggression and emotion research are discussed along with the measurement equivalence issue.

Resumo: O objetivo desta dissertação é estudar a apropriação da psicanálise pela Teoria Crítica de Herbert Marcuse, tendo como ponto de partida sua análise dos conceitos de mais-repressão e princípio de desempenho em Eros e Civilização: Uma interpretação Filosófica do Pensamento de Freud. Marcuse teria derivado estes conceitos daqueles freudianos de Repressão e Princípio de Realidade respectivamente, por não corresponderem mais ao atual estágio de desenvolvimento da sociedade capitalista. Com sua reformulação conceitual, ele resgata a teoria freudiana para argumentar que é possível uma sociedade menos repressiva. Tal perspectiva é problemática, posto que Freud, embora aponte algumas formas de superação da sociedade repressiva, tende a um diagnóstico de aumento da repressão, a ponto de afirmar a possibilidade de autodestruição da civilização. Pretendemos discutir essa metamorfose crítico - conceitual de Marcuse e suas consequências. Nossa hipótese é de que tal apropriação é plausível na medida em que está de acordo com a vertente inaugural da Teoria Crítica de Horkheimer em seu artigo de 1937, no qual afirma que a Teoria Tradicional pode ser apropriada pela Teoria Crítica; desde que possamos fazer uma historicização dos conceitos, trazendo-os sempre para o presente momento, ou seja, ao fazer o diagnóstico de época
Abstract: The objective of this dissertation is to study the appropriation of psychoanalysis by Herbert Marcuse, taking as its starting point an analysis of the concepts of surplus repression and the performance principle in Eros and Civilization: A Philosophical Inquiry into Freud. Marcuse would have derived these concepts from the Freudian Repression and the Reality Principle respectively, which do not correspond to the current stage of development of capitalist society anymore. With his conceptual reformulation, he rescues the Freudian theory to argue that a society which is less repressive is possible. This perspective presents a problem since Freud's times, but it suggests some ways of overcoming the repressive society, tends to a diagnosis of increased repression, to the point that the possibility of destruction of civilization. We intend to discuss this critical conceptual metamorphosis of Marcuse and its consequences. Our hypothesis is that such appropriation is plausible insofar as is consistent with the slope of the inaugural Critical Theory Horkheimer in their 1937 article, in which he states that the Traditional Theory can be appropriated by Critical Theory, provided we can historicizing concepts, bringing them ever to nowadays, to make the diagnosis of time

Full textAbstract:
Though death and mortality is an inevitable part of our lives it seems like both the society with its culture and the individual in some way repress death. This study was set to explore how and why the individual holds back thoughts on his/her own death and in which way society affect the individual’s repression of death-thoughts. Using a hermeneutic approach I have interviewed five informants about death and thoughts about death in everyday life. Also for the analysis of the empirical material a hermeneutic approach was used, and the works of Bauman, Giddens, Heidegger, Fromm and May served as a theoretical starting point. The findings reveal that society influences the individual’s thoughts about death and that the individual’s fear of death comes out of the fear of one owns body being in some sort of suffering just pre death. The institutionalization of sick persons and dead bodies is part of the medical culture and can explain the fact that the individual sees the bodily death as more frightening than human mortality itself. Even the way persons want to be remembered by survivors is part of the evidence of our society’s and culture’s objectification of the human body and death.

Full textAbstract:
Prior study of Craiglockhart War Hospital has focused on the hospital's two most famous patients, Wilfred Owen and Siegfried Sassoon, along with the work of the psychotherapist W. H. R. Rivers. Craiglockhart's literary culture is studied in detail for the first time in this thesis and the hospital's therapeutic ethos used as a framework by which the creative work produced at the hospital can be examined. This thesis argues that the British Army's lack of consensus regarding the best treatment of war neuroses facilitated the development of Craiglockhart's expressive culture, in which patients were encouraged both to articulate their wartime memories and return to purposeful activity. The hospital's magazine, The Hydra, is examined at length; both in terms of its links to the wider genre of wartime soldier publications and as a telling document of the hospital's therapies in action. Owen and Sassoon's time at the hospital is also discussed, with particular emphasis on the hospital's central importance in Owen's poetic development and its troubling legacy in the post-war life of Sassoon. Finally, readers are introduced to George Henry Bonner, a patient of the hospital whose creative work is discussed here for the first time. This study makes clear the fact that, for the hospital's literary-minded patients, creative endeavour was an ideal means by which to negotiate the movement away from repression to the articulation of their wartime experiences.

Resumo: A presente dissertação de mestrado vem propor o estudo de uma hipótese, elaborada por Herbert Marcuse, de implementação de uma civilização não-repressiva, tendo em vista a importante problemática do progresso técnico científico como elemento que simultaneamente viabiliza e refreia a efetivação desta civilização. Marcuse partiu da asserção de Freud de que não pode haver civilização sem repressão, usando as próprias categorias (retomou a substância histórica destas) psicanalíticas do autor, para refutar tal sentença. Com o crescente desenvolvimento da tecnologia e da automação, Marcuse vê uma progressiva redução do tempo de trabalho humano necessário para a produção, o que torna a "mais-repressão" e o "princípio de desempenho" cada vez mais obsoletos. Eliminando-se a mais-repressão na sociedade industrial afluente, e por conseqüência, o trabalho alienado, os interesses de dominação não teriam mais espaço, o que, segundo Marcuse, abre o caminho para uma nova ordem não repressiva, organizada para a satisfação das necessidades de todos os indivíduos, no sentido de uma reconciliação entre o princípio de prazer e o princípio de realidade. O grande problema, entretanto, é que a própria automação da produção parece agir contra o espectro da libertação
Abstract: The current dissertation proposes working on a hypothesis elaborated by Herbert Marcuse, about foundation ot a non-repressive civilization from the freudian metapsychology, looking foward the view of the important dilemma of technician-scientific progress simultaneously viabilizing and retraining the effectivation of this civilization. Marcuse started from the Freud assertion that cannot exists civilization without repression, using the proper psychoanalistic categories (by retrieving his historical substance) ot the author in refuting such a sentence. From the ascending development of technology and automation, Marcuse see a progressive reduction of human working time needed to production, becoming the "surplusrepression" and the "performance principle" more and more obsolets. By eliminating the surplus-repression from the affluent industrial society, and consequently, the allienated work, the domination aims would not have yet space, thus, according Marcuse, opening path for a new non-repressive order, oriented to needs satisfaction of all individuais, in the mening of a reconciliation between of the pleasure principle and the reality principle. The big problem, however, is that the same production automations seams acts against the spectrum of liberty

Full textAbstract:
Following the terrorist attacks on the United States on September 11, 2001, many turned to the field of psychology for greater understanding of the impact of such events and guidance in supporting our citizens. This study sought to gain greater understanding of the differential impact of the September 11th attack on individuals by investigating the influence of age, psychological hardiness, and repression versus sensitization as forms of coping behavior on psychological health. Both an initial cross-sectional sample (172 young adults & 231older adults) and a short-term longitudinal follow-up (39 young adults & 58 older adults) were included in the study. Older age, psychological hardiness and the use of a repressing coping style were found to each individually relate to greater resilience/less dysfunction at both time one and two. For young adults, high hardy repressors faired best, followed by high hardy sensitizers. Low hardy young adults demonstrated similar levels of dysfunction regardless of coping style (repressions/sensitization). For older adults, coping style impacted both high and low hardy individuals equally, with high hardy repressors demonstrating greater functioning. This study attempted to gain greater insight into explanations for these and previous findings of greater resilience among older adults. In explaining the greater resilience of older adults, it seems that coping style is highly important, while hardiness and the impact of history-graded events does not explain the resilience of older adults.

Full textAbstract:
La dysorthographie est considérée en psychiatrie comme un trouble spécifique des apprentissages. Les découvertes neuropsychologiques de la place des émotions dans les apprentissages confirment une idée soutenue par l'approche psychopathologique psychanalytique selon laquelle le développement cognitif ne peut être dissocié du développement affectif. Notre recherche a porté sur le silence des affects repéré chez certains enfants présentant ce trouble dans notre pratique clinique, émettant l'hypothèse d'une logique psychosomatique sous-tendant ce symptôme. L'analyse du CAT d'un groupe de vingt enfants et l'analyse de la thérapie d'une enfant de neuf ans ont permis de mettre en évidence une répression majeure des affects, une restriction de l'expression fantasmatique, une prévalence des agirs et des sensations en lien avec un attachement fort au perçu. La présence de ces éléments laisse envisager que dans ces cas, le symptôme dysorthographique peut témoigner de l'action de défenses de type opératoire et ne constitue pas un symptôme psychonévrotique exprimant un conflit symbolique. Au-delà de l'hétérogénéité du fonctionnement psychique de ces enfants, l'existence de telles constantes cliniques nous conduit à établir un parallèle entre le symptôme dysorthographique et un symptôme psychosomatique. Ceci ne le laisse cependant pas dépourvu de sens, que nous avons tenté de rechercher à travers l'analyse des mouvements transféro-contre-transférentiels de la thérapie de Jeanne. Nous avons ainsi été amené à proposer l'hypothèse d'un défaut de subversion libidinale à l'origine d'un maintien dans une écriture purement fonctionnelle et mécanique chez certains patients dysorthographiques.

The purpose of this study is to approach the failure of resocialization measures applied to the young offender and analyze the tradition of repression and incrimination present in this area. Firstly, it analyzes from the point of view of the analytical psychology of Carl Gustav Jung, the development of the rationality in the western culture, and the structuration of consciousness inside the current patriarchal pattern. It identifies the distinction of polarity in the consciousness, inherent to this dynamism, and its excesses such as the inclusion of the authoritarianism in the culture and the Law. Subsequently, it identifies the archetypical conflict Father-son hidden by the conflict of the youth with the law, and the transference of this conflict to the society and the justice. The Law, which represents the cultural and collective precept, takes the archetypical function of order, limits, tradition, respect and authority, which are attributes of the father archetype and conflict with the youth, concerning his private life. Finally, it indicates the consequences, to the development of the young offender personality, of the authoritarian pattern accepted by the Law, observing the attitude of Judges and public prosecutors that work in this area, their role and personal conflicts, accordingly it appoints better ways to establish this relationship
O trabalho aborda o fracasso prático das medidas de ressocialização aplicadas ao adolescente infrator e analisa a cultura incriminadora e repressora atualmente presente neste campo. Analisa inicialmente, à luz da psicologia analítica, criada por Carl Gustav Jung, o desenvolvimento da racionalidade, na cultura ocidental, e a estruturação da consciência dentro do padrão atual patriarcal. Identifica a discriminação de polaridades, na consciência, própria desse dinamismo, e aponta seus excessos - como a incorporação, na cultura e no Direito, do autoritarismo. Em um segundo momento, identifica, por trás do conflito do adolescente com a Lei, a existência de um conflito arquetípico Pai-filho, e a transferência, pelo adolescente, desse conflito à sociedade e à Justiça. O Direito, como representante do cânone cultural coletivo, assume a função arquetípica da ordem, do limite, da tradição, do respeito, e da autoridade, todos esses atributos do arquétipo paterno que conflitam com o jovem, na esfera pessoal, e encarnam as questões principais com as quais ele acaba tendo que lidar. Finalmente, sempre com o apoio da tradição junguiana, procura discriminar as conseqüências, para o desenvolvimento da personalidade do jovem infrator, do padrão autoritário assumido pela Lei, comentando a postura dos Juízes e dos Promotores de Justiça que lidam nessa área, o seu papel, identificando a existência de conflitos particulares dos operadores jurídicos, e discriminando, também, os aspectos positivos a serem buscados por esses indivíduos na sua atitude em relação ao jovem

Full textAbstract:
La nifehydrogenase de rhodobacter capsulatus est une metalloproteine membranaire, qui permet a la bacterie croissant en autotrophie, d'utiliser l'hydrogene comme sources d'electrons et d'energie. L'hydrogene sert d'inducteur de la synthese de l'hydrogenase et, en son absence, cette synthese est inhibee. Ce controle negatif implique les proteines hupt, hupu et hupv, codees par l'operon huptuv. L'expression de huptuv est faible, et deux fois plus elevee en heterotrophie qu'en autotrophie. La mutagenese du gene hupt par interposon entraine une forte expression des genes de structure hupslc de l'hydrogenase ; hupt est donc impliquee dans la repression de la synthese de l'enzyme. Hupt est homologue aux proteines histidine kinases des systemes de transduction du signal a deux composants. Elle est capable de s'autophosphoryler in vitro en presence de #3#2patp. Hupt phosphorylee possede une liaison n-phosphate et la proteine mutante hupt h217n est incapable de se phosphoryler ; ceci indique que hupt est une histidine kinase dont le site putatif de phosphorylation est l'his#2#1#7. Les genes hupu et hupv codent des proteines presentant des similarites de sequence avec, respectivement, la petite et la grande sous-unite des nifehydrogenases ; en particulier, les cysteines necessaires a la formation du site actif de l'hydrogenase sont conservees. L'inactivation de hupv par mutagenese par interposon, ou de hupu et hupv par deletion partielle, entraine une augmentation de la synthese de l'hydrogenase en heterotrophie en absence d'hydrogene ; hupu et hupv interviennent donc dans la repression de l'expression des genes hupslc. L'hypothese actuelle est que hupu et hupv, capables de detecter le stimulus hydrogene, declencheraient une cascade de regulation, impliquant l'histidine kinase hupt, conduisant a la repression de la synthese de l'hydrogenase en heterotrophie, en absence d'hydrogene

With increased survivorship, research and practice in pediatric oncology has focused more on the psychosocial well-being of patients during and after treatment. With research repeatedly indicating that patients and families appear to exhibit great resilience and adjustment, and low incidences of psychosocial difficulties (e.g., Kazak, 1994, Eiser et al. 2000), some researchers have examined adaptive style as a possible construct that may help explain the predominantly positive outcomes (e.g., Phipps and Srivastava, 1997). The current study examined adaptive styles and coping strategies in youth diagnosed with cancer to determine relationships between these variables, as well as between each of these constructs and measures of subjective well-being, and psychosocial and educational adjustment. This study was also the first to examine relationships between youth and parent adaptive styles.
A total of 180 youth between 9 and 17 years old who have been diagnosed with cancer participated in this study. Each youth also had one parent who participated. Each youth participant completed a packet of self-report measures used to determine adaptive style group, coping strategy use, and subjective well-being scores. Each parent participant completed a questionnaire to provide sociodemographic information about the youth and parent, as well as information about their child’s illness and school experience. Parents also completed a packet of measures used to provide information about their child’s psychosocial adjustment and risk and to determine parent adaptive style. Data were analyzed to examine relationships between parent and youth adaptive style, group differences on measures of subjective well-being, psychosocial adjustment/risk, and academic variables, relationships between adaptive style and coping strategy use, and the predictive strength of adaptive style and coping strategies for the outcome variables.
Although the distribution of adaptive styles was similar among participants in the current study compared to those in previous studies of adaptive style for Repressive, Low Anxious, and Defensive High Anxious adaptive styles, there was a higher percentage of participants with High Anxious adaptive style in the current study. A statistically significant bidirectional relationship was found between youth and parents with a Repressive adaptive style. Results revealed significant differences between groups on measures of subjective well-being and internalizing behaviors, with Repressive adaptive displaying the highest subjective well-being and lowest internalizing behavior scores. Repressive and Low Anxious adaptive style differed significantly from the two High Anxious groups on the school scale scores, with the Repressive and Low Anxious groups having more positive outcomes on the measure. Relating to coping strategies, youth in the two High Anxious groups used more strategies all together, including both adaptive and non-adaptive strategies. However adaptive strategies were more frequently related to positive adaptive styles and outcomes, while non-adaptive strategies tended to have a stronger relationship to High Anxious adaptive style and negative outcomes. Limitations are discussed, and suggestions for future research and practical implications are offered, based on the results of the current study.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of the present research is to advance a general predictive model of the social psychological processes underlying collective action in contexts where collective action is met with significant repression by the authorities. The model integrates the recent advancements in the collective action literature and examines the unique predictive role of anger and fear (emotional pathway), political, identity consolidation and participative efficacies (instrumental pathway), politicised identification (identity pathway) as well as moral obligation, over and above past participation. Moreover, the research investigates how perceived risk, due to government sanctions, shapes these antecedents and the willingness to engage in collective action. Five survey studies (Studies 1 to 5) test this model in various repressive contexts (i.e., Egypt, Hong Kong, Russia, Ukraine, and Turkey). In addition, one experimental study (Study 6) examines the causal relation between perceived risk and (a) the antecedents of collective action and (b) the action intentions in a British sample. The results confirm the intensifying role of perceived risk, whereby it indirectly spurs further resistance through shaping the antecedents of collective action. The results also suggest that protesters are intrinsically motivated to engage in collective action when placed under risk. Specifically, although not motivated by political efficacy, protesters are strategic as they are motivated by the likelihood to consolidate the identity of their protest movement and the likelihood of their own participation to incrementally contribute to achieving the desired goals. Moreover, they are emotional, politicised and dutiful as their outrage towards how the authorities treat the protesters, their identification with their protest movement, as well as their sense of moral responsibility encourage them to take action despite the risks.

This thesis examines the experience of loss in Anne Landsman’s novels The Devil’s Chimney (1997) and The Rowing Lesson (2008), and Rachel Zadok’s Gem Squash Tokoloshe (2005). Positing the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) as an impetus for emerging literary traditions within contemporary South African fiction, the argument begins by evaluating the reasons for the TRC’s widespread impact, and considers the role that the individual author may play within a culture which is undergoing dramatic socio-political upheavals. Through theoretical explication, close reading, and textual comparison, the argument initiates a dialogue between psychoanalysis and literary analysis, differentiating between two primary modes of experiencing loss, namely traumatic and nostalgic memory. Out of these sets of concerns, the thesis seeks to understand the inextricability of body, memory and landscape, and interrogates the deployment of these tropes within the contexts of traumatic and nostalgic loss, examining each author’s nuanced invocation. A central tenet of the argument is a consideration, moreover, of how the dialogic imagination has shaped storytelling, and whether or not narrative may provide therapeutic affect for either author or reader. The study concludes with an interpretation of the changing shape of literary expression within South Africa.

Merleau-Ponty représente une figure originale de la réception de l'inconscient psychanalytique en France et c'est d'abord autour de la question du complexe, mais surtout de celle du refoulement, qu'il entend engager un dialogue avec Freud. Si la discussion avec ce dernier est d'abord compromise par des prismes de lectures philosophiques et psychologiques qui en déforment le sens original, le philosophe a pu se donner de 1942 à 1945 une connaissance plus directe de l'oeuvre du psychanalyste, chez lequel il trouve l'intuition précieuse du refoulement, qu'il entend reprendre à son compte au sein de la théorie de la perception.

En prenant Merleau-Ponty à la lettre, on se demande ainsi dans quelle mesure et dans quelles limites le philosophe peut continuer à parler du refoulement « dont parle la psychanalyse » à partir du moment où il procède au réaménagement existentiel du problème freudien en dehors de tout naturalisme.

Question is therefore to see how the refoundation of the unconscious by the means of the new understanding of the repression allows to maintain the Freudian repression and to be able to still recognize it, when it actually becomes the merleau-pontyan idea of refusal. Followinf Merleau-Ponty, we'll see if he can still claims he talks about the very repression psychoanalysis founded, as soon as he redefines the repression from an existentialist method and view and intends to extract the repression from its naturalists schemes and grounds. If it is quite possible to criticize the old scientific grounds amongst which Freud gave birth to the repression in the first place, and if it is possible to speak another conceptual language than Freud, a materialistic and energetical one, maybe the merleau-pontyan ontology regarding the subject, his embodiement, his timely structure, his perception and his world tend to deform the freudian repression

Au départ et de façon générale, on se propose ici une édification du concept d’autocensure. Mais le concept d’autocensure ne s’appréhende pas, à notre sens, sans l’élaboration simultanée d’un autre concept qu’est le sujet et particulièrement le sujet politique. En partant de la notion de refoulement et de sublimation chez Freud puis, en reconstituant les relations entre corps et monde nécessaires à la transformation de ce corps en sujet, nous proposons de comprendre la relation étroite entre une subjectivation historico-politique (souci de soi et ascèse chez Michel Foucault) et une autocensure c’est-à-dire une autoconstitution du sujet dans l’histoire par une interprétation symbolique incessante de l’homme et par un ensemble de technologies ( savoirs, vérités, pouvoirs). Celles-ci sont le support des réponses que le sujet, engagé dans l’histoire, se renvoie lui-même pour se déterminer à devenir un sujet politiqueIn the beginning and in general, I here propose a construction of the concept of autocensorship. In the sense in which I employ the term, however, the concept of auto-censorship cannot be grasped without the simultaneous elaboration of another concept, namely, the subject and the political subject in particular. Beginning with the notions of repression and sublimation in Freud before reconstituting the relations between body and world necessary for the transformation of the body into a subject, I propose an understanding of the strict relation between a historico-political subjectification (care of the self and asceticism in Michel Foucault) and an auto-censorship, that is to say, an auto-constitution of the subject in history by an endless symbolic interpretation of the human and a complex of technologies (knowledge or expertise, truths, powers). These technologies constitute the underpinning of responses that the subject, engaged in history, returns to itself in order to become a political subject

Full textAbstract:
La sexualité est arrivée au statut d’objet scientifique à la suite des découvertes psychanalytiques. L’élargissement du sexuel avec Freud par la théorie de la libido a permis une investigation beaucoup plus large et complète de la sexualité, la faisant apparaître comme un phénomène de totalité. Les sciences sociales n’ont pourtant pas nécessairement intégré cet élargissement dans leurs théorisations sur la sexualité livrant une définition de celle-ci selon leurs paradigmes et cadres interprétatifs disciplinaires. De même, la politisation de la sexualité a dans un premier temps interpréter la question de la libido freudienne dans une utopie critique, celle de la libération sexuelle de Mai 68. Dans un second temps, elle a idéologisé et partialisé la question sexuelle en orientant les débats sur les questions des minorités sexuelles. La démarche critique adoptée dans cette thèse permet de montrer en quoi la sexualité en tant qu’objet est l’analyseur des sexualités concrètes. La sexualité est une force originaire au fondement de la subjectivité, de l’intersubjectivité et des formations sociales. Elle ne peut donc être conceptualisée de façon réductrice. Cette complexité est nécessairement polémique car elle comprend des enjeux épistémologiques, politiques, mais aussi éthiques, praxéologiques et métaphysiquesSexuality become a scientific object following psychoanalysic discoveries. The extension of sexuality by Freud with the libido theory allow more complete and broader investigation of sexuality, showing it as a phenomenon of totality. Social sciences however did not insert this enlargement into their theorizings on the sexuality delivering a definition of this one according to their paradigms and disciplinary interpretative frames. Also, the politicization of sexuality has at first interpreted the question of freudian libido in a critical utopia, that of the sexual liberation of Mai 68. In second time, it has ideologised ans partialised the sexual question by orientating the debate on the sexual minorites questions. Critical step adopted in this thesis allows to show that sexuality as object is the analyser of concrete sexualities. Sexuality is a native force in the foundation of subjectivity, intersubjectivity and social trainings. Sexuality can’t be conceptualised in a reductionnist way. This complicacy is necessarily polemical because it consists in epistemological and political stakes, but also in ethical, praxeological and metaphysical stakes

Young, Lauren Elyssa. "The Psychology of Repression and Dissent in Autocracy." Thesis, 2016. https://doi.org/10.7916/D86110HB.
Full textAbstract:
How do autocrats maintain power? In many cases, autocrats lack the support of a majority of the population. This problem is particularly stark in electoral autocracies, where autocrats must generate millions of favorable votes in order to stay in power. Coercion, or the forcible exclusion of some segments of the population from power, is one tool that many autocrats use to solve this problem. However, creating coercive institutions is also dangerous for autocrats, as the same forces that can be used to coerce citizens can also be used to depose or demand resources from the autocrat himself.
In the first paper, I contend that autocracies can use the psychological effects of fear to coerce citizens at a lower cost and at lower personal risk. This psychological theory of autocratic coercion has two core implications that I test. First, I use a lab-in-the-field experiment to show that the emotion of fear reduces participation in pro-democracy action, and that this may work through its effects on perceptions of risk and risk attitudes. Second, I show using correlational evidence that propensity to feel fear predicts variation in participation in dissent.
In the second paper, I examine how poverty conditions the way that citizens respond to the threat of coercion. I argue that poverty may make coercion more effective in reducing citizen dissent both by making citizens more prone to fear, and by increasing their physical vulnerability to violence. I test this prediction at the individual and constituency level using data on public opinion and voting in Zimbabwe, drawing on random variation in recent exposure to violence and poverty.
The third paper tests whether emotions can also be used by activists to increase dissent among citizens with anti-regime preferences. I partnered with an opposition party that ran an experimental test of angry against enthusiastic campaign messages using video and images sent out via mobile phone chat groups. Analysis of the transcripts of these groups shows that the anger appeals generated significantly more pro-opposition participation in the groups. There is some evidence that anger was most effective in constituencies that had experienced violence in the past.

Full textAbstract:
YesIn this paper, we draw on the Bakhtinian concept of chronotope to make the theoretical argument that the turn to embodiment can be supplemented through a consideration of connotation in discursive psychology. We use Billig’s conception of linguistic repression as a test-case as to how connotation can supplement discursive analysis, but using our own interview material to do so. From establishing the case that connotation, understood through the lens of chronotope, is potentially of vital interest to discursive psychology, we move to drawing out three implications for this for doing qualitative research differently. First of all, we suggest that researchers need to feel the chronotope of the interview to manage its connotations in vivo. Secondly, we draw attention to the role of the absent other in everyday speech and how this absent other can be analysed differently to a typical discourse analysis - as layering connotations into speech. Finally, we draw attention to the hermeneutic attitude of earnest irony when doing research as a further means of generating as well as managing connotations.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis investigates the implicit and explicit cognitive processes of socially anxious and defensive persons. Eysenck's (1992, 97) model of anxiety proposed that trait-anxious people are fundamentally different to defensive individuals(repressors; REP) and this reflects how they interpret information, differing in their attentional and interpretive biases. He argued, that compared to low-anxious individuals (LA), both trait-anxious people and repressors appear to engage in different attentional styles and social behaviours to minimise their internal anxiety based on these interpretations. Furthermore, that although the behavioural styles of repressors and low-anxious individuals are similar, their implicit motivations were different in that repressors responded physiologically similar to trait anxious individual's implicit threat, whereas low-anxious individuals did not have this response. The notion being that both trait-anxious and repressors are anxious people who utilise different and opposite social behaviours to minimise their experience of anxiety. A further consideration for this thesis was that there are other models of anxiety that do not address the concept of defensiveness (repression) and distinguish only between trait-anxious and low-anxious individuals.

Full textAbstract:
Dissociation is commonly associated with sexual crimes or other forms of trauma where a person experienced a threat to the existence or survival of the self. During dissociation the ego may split in such a way that ego-states (subselves or segments of the greater personality) form to encapsulate feelings of guilt, pain, fear, and anger. If dissociation is severe, sufferers will have no conscious recollection of the sexual trauma as it is deeply repressed in the subconscious. This may result in symptoms/pathology later in life.
Research indicated that hypnosis (due to its dissociative nature) is favourable as treatment modality for pathology/symptomatology associated with trauma and dissociation.
This research study investigates the development of ego-states during experiences of sexual trauma and hypnosis (especially Medical Hypno-analysis and Ego-State Therapy) as effective treatment modality within the field of psycho-education. It proposes a hypnotherapy model where the diagnostic tools as indicated by the Medical Hypno-analysis model, are being used to determine the existence of repressed memories related to sexual trauma. The therapeutic processes as indicated by the Ego-State Therapy model, are being used to resolve and work through the core repressed traumatic experiences through the mobilization of associated and related ego-states.
This study presents four case studies and discusses their clinical diagnostic procedures and therapeutic processes. The case studies illustrate that certain symptomatology/pathology experienced later in life may be the result of repressed memories and the formation of maladapted ego-states earlier in life when sexual trauma was experienced. Highly charged emotional and negative beliefs were set in the ego-states and could only be disarmed from their destructive content through regressions and hypnotherapy. A detailed discussion of the proposed hypnotherapy model and its application and concerns regarding its application within the field of psycho-education are also presented.
The results of this study indicate that the proposed hypnotherapy model (the combination of Medical Hypno-analysis and Ego-State Therapy) can be used effectively and successfully when working with survivors and symptomatology/pathology associated with sexual crimes.Educational Studies

Full textAbstract:
Une multitude de gens, au XXe siècle, se sont servis de la psychanalyse pour se rendre compte de leurs faits et gestes. En s’appuyant ainsi sur la psychanalyse, ils démontraient la profondeur de la confiance qu’ils lui accordaient. Cette diffusion ample et profonde, qui a laissé une empreinte très marquée sur la culture contemporaine, demeure largement inexpliquée.
Ce phénomène étonnant devient intelligible dès lors qu’on aborde la psychanalyse comme une grammaire de l’intériorité, qui a guidé des interactions en les médiatisant par des symboles et des significations communes (normes, valeurs, etc.) propres aux sociétés démocratiques contemporaines (celles qui se conçoivent comme émanant d’un accord entre individus). Cette pratique sociale, l’enquête psychanalytique, peut être analysée en situant dans leurs contextes d’interactions les discours dans lesquels des désirs refoulés étaient imputés à différentes conduites. L’œuvre de Freud offre un échantillon de tels discours. La description de la forme et du sens que ces imputations de désirs refoulés conféraient à différentes interactions en cours nous permet d’identifier les traits caractéristiques de l’enquête psychanalytique.
Freud montre que le refoulement naît d’un conflit entre une volonté présociale refoulée et une volonté socialisée, refoulante, née des exigences inculquées par l’autorité parentale. Pour identifier un désir refoulé, il faut donc simultanément identifier une relation refoulante. L’enquête psychanalytique amène à passer en revue les différentes relations interpersonnelles et intrapersonnelles dans lesquelles est impliqué l’auteur du refoulement. Cet exercice permet de départager les relations qui contraignent la volonté intérieure présociale à des exigences sociales de celles qui, en sens inverse, émanent de cette volonté intérieure. Comme les premières suscitent le refoulement et les symptômes indésirables qu’il entraîne, la guérison du refoulement exige que le porteur du refoulement prenne ses distances des exigences sociales héritées, de manière à parvenir à reconnaître sa volonté présociale.
En soupesant ainsi la contrainte exercée sur les volontés présociales par les relations particulières, l’enquête psychanalytique jaugeait ces dernières à partir d’une exigence propre aux sociétés démocratiques contemporaines : celle de fonder les relations sociales sur les volontés non contraintes des partenaires. L’enquête psychanalytique participait ainsi d’un imaginaire social moderne qui donnait, à des relations variées, la forme d’un contrat. Les contemporains qui recouraient à cette enquête manifestaient un souci de respecter cette exigence et ils suscitaient une réaction critique envers les relations qui contraignaient la volonté.
En somme, l’enquête psychanalytique offrait aux contemporains une manière d’ordonner les relations qui était adaptée à une société accordant une autorité prééminente aux exigences « contractuelles ». Voilà qui explique en grande partie l’ampleur et la profondeur de la diffusion de la psychanalyse au XXe siècle.In the twentieth century, a multitude of people used psychoanalysis to explain their actions and gestures to one another. Their reliance on psychoanalysis, is an indication of how deeply they trusted its theories. This wide and profound diffusion, which has left a very strong impression on contemporary culture, remains however largely unexplained. This puzzling phenomenon becomes intelligible, from the moment one treats psychoanalysis as a grammar of interiority, which guides interactions by mediating them with symbols and common meanings (norms, values, etc.) specific to contemporary democratic societies (those that conceive themselves as emerging from an agreement between individuals). This social practice, the psychoanalytic inquiry, can be analyzed by situating in their contexts of interactions the speeches in which repressed desires were imputed to various conducts. Freud’s work provides a sample of such speeches. The description of the form and meaning that these imputations of repressed desires conferred to different ongoing interactions allows us to identify the specific features of the psychoanalytic inquiry. Freud shows that the repression arises from a conflict between a repressed presocial will and a socialized will, which enforces repression, born from requirements inculcated by the parental authority. Hence, to identify a repressed desire, one must simultaneously identify a repressing relationship. The psychoanalytic inquiry leads to review the different interpersonal and intrapersonal relationships in which the author of the repression is involved. This exercise leads to set apart the relationships that constrain the inner presocial will to social requirements, from those that rather emanate from this inner will. Since the former creates the repression and the unwanted symptoms it causes, the healing of the repression requires that its carrier distances oneself from inherited social requirements, in order to recognize one’s her inner will. By weighing the coercion on presocial wills exercised by specific relations, the psychoanalytic inquiry gauged these relations from a standard specific to contemporary democratic societies: the requirement to ground social relations on the unconstrained wills of the partners. The psychoanalytic inquiry was part of a modern social imaginary that shaped the form of a contract to various relationships. The people who used this inquiry showed that they were concerned about this requirement and they prompted a critical reaction to the relationships that constrained their will. In sum, the psychoanalytic inquiry provided the contemporary world with a way of organizing relationships that was adapted to a society that gave a preeminent authority to “contractual” requirements. That largely explains the breadth and depth of the diffusion of psychoanalysis in the twentieth century.

Full textAbstract:
Le développement de la compétence émotionnelle est un processus qui risque d’avoir un impact majeur sur le bien-être des individus, y compris la réussite professionnelle et la qualité de nos relations interpersonnelles. La littérature scientifique montre qu’il existe un lien étroit entre la répression émotionnelle, le fait de restreindre, d’éviter ou de minimiser la prise de conscience d’émotions ainsi que divers problèmes de santé mentale, troubles du comportement, décrochage et abus de substances. Or, l’apprentissage des capacités à réguler ses émotions est en grande partie acquis au sein de la famille, puis à l’école avec le concours des enseignants. Toutefois, peu d’études existent sur ce phénomène. En outre, les écrits scientifiques portant sur le processus de socialisation des émotions dans le milieu scolaire négligent de considérer la présence ou non de stéréotypes de genre chez l’enseignant.e. Pourtant, cette lacune risque d’avoir un impact sur ses pratiques de socialisation des émotions. L’objectif de cette thèse est d’observer les comportements des enseignants de la maternelle lorsqu’ils interagissent avec des élèves et d’examiner si leurs réactions diffèrent selon le genre de leur élève dans un contexte où une émotion est exprimée par l’enfant. Pour atteindre cet objectif, l’étude réalisée poursuit deux sous-objectifs, soit observer et analyser de façon séquentielle les interactions entre les enseignants et les élèves (Objectif 1), et explorer les croyances qu’ils entretiennent en lien avec le développement émotionnel des enfants et les différences de genre (Objectif 2). Dans le cadre de cette thèse, nous retenons le modèle de socialisation des émotions proposé par Denham, Bassett et Zinsser, (2012). Partant de ce modèle, six heures d’observation dans trois classes de maternelle ont été effectuées ainsi que des entrevues semi-dirigées à l’aide de la technique du rappel vidéo auprès de ces mêmes enseignants. Les premiers résultats obtenus suggèrent des différences de genre dans la socialisation des émotions. D’autres résultats suggèrent la présence de stéréotypes de genre chez les enseignants pouvant influencer leur pratique de socialisation des émotions en fonction du genre de leur élève et avoir une influence sur ses compétences émotionnelles.Emotional competence is a factor that has the potential to greatly impact our well-being. Emotional competence can affect many aspects of his or her life, such as his/her professional career or even the quality of his/her relationships. The scientific literature showcases the existence of a link between the repression of emotions and mental health’s issues, behavioral disorders, bad academic performance and substance abuse (Ashiabi 2000; Chaplin, Cole, & Zahn-Waxler, 2005; Denham, Bassett, & Wyatt, 2007; Denham, Bassett, & Zinsser, 2012; Perlman, Camras, & Pelphrey, 2007). The development of emotional competence is a process that begins within the family circle and continues at school, with the help of teachers and educators. Because of the informal nature of the mechanisms at work, there are only a few studies on this very process. Furthermore, the few studies that examine the development of emotional competence by socialization in school tend to ignore the impact of gender stereotypes carried by teachers and other personnel. This paper is aimed to analyze grade school teachers’ behavior when they interact with their students in order to determine if said behaviors are influenced by students’ gender. This general goal was achieved by the completion of two sub-objectives. The first of these sub-objectives consisted in observing and analyzing the interactions between teachers and students in a sequential manner. The second was to explore the teachers’ belief system in regard to the emotional development of children and gender differences. Eisenberg, Spinrad and Cumberland (1998) introduced a heuristic model of emotional socialization that includes a number of variables such as parents’ personal beliefs and culture, and children’s characteristics (age, temperament, etc.) These authors suggest that emotional socialization is the factor of three processes: (1) parental reactions to children’s emotions, (2) socializers’ (teachers and other school’s personnel) discussion of emotion, and (3) socializers’ expression of emotions. A number of critics of this rich and complex model have been formulated, and we’ll address them in this paper. Denham et al. (2012) introduced a simpler model that doesn’t consider certain variables such as parents’ characteristics and instead put a greater emphasis on the aforementioned three dimensions of emotional socialization. In this study, we used the adapted model of Denham et al. (2012) was adopted. We recorded 3 different classes for 6 hours each and conducted semi-directed interviews with each class teacher. Our results suggest the existence of a gender difference related to emotional socialization. Teachers’ responses were significantly more negative towards boys’ expression of emotions compared to girls’. Results also point out the presence of gender stereotypes among teachers, which could influence their socialization practice and thus the level of emotional competence of their students.

Full textAbstract:
The Creation and Manifestation of Reality-theory was developed for this study. This theory provides an answer to why high functioning people experience problems at work, develop relationship problems, and other dysfunctions that occur in their lives. It provides an explanation as to why this happens: at a certain point in our existence a critical incident (or Initial Sensitising Event) or a series of repeated incidents is perceived by the person as traumatic. During this time of high emotion the child forms a subconscious conclusion, followed by a subconscious decision. The Hypnotic Blueprint is an accumulation of all the different subconscious conclusions and decisions formed over time at a time of intense emotionality, during which the psyche feared for its survival, repressed, gated and banished into the borders of the person's subconscious mind. Numerous other incidents occur through life that reinforce and bolster the original Hypnotic Blueprint. Simultaneously, conflicting ego-states are formed, attempting to balance the state of disequilibrium.
Later in life, the original Blueprint is triggered, through the Symptom Activating Event, at a sub-conscious level and starts to operate in the person's life, attracting the circumstances and people who best replay or re-enact the original trauma on a symbolic level. This pattern will be recreated in the person's life, and will most often be the reason why the person enters therapy, or the presenting problem. Life acts as a mirror of the inner world or the psyche of the person. The inner world is mirrored by the other world, or reality. By changing our inner reality, we impact or transform our outer reality.
To complete the Creation and Manifestation of Reality-theory, the Imago Developmental Stages identified by Harville Hendrix, were integrated, namely Attachment, Exploration, Identity and Competence. The therapeutic modality suggested is de-hypnotising.
The study does not intend to measure the success of the therapy, but rather to establish and test the validity of the Creation and Manifestation of Reality-theory on case studies, using the Life History approach.Educational Studies
