Jealousy
Jealousy is a universal emotion related to evolutionary pressures relevant to parental investment. In this article, we examine how jealousy can be treated using an integrative CBT model called Emotional Schema Therapy, which is a social cognitive model emphasizing the patient's theories and strategies about emotion and draws upon evolutionary, attachment, cognitive, and acceptance models. The phenomenology of jealousy is seen as part of this auto…
The jealousy cure
Psychologist Robert L. Leahy takes a more nuanced approach to tackling feelings of jealousy. In this compelling book, you'll uncover the evolutionary origins of jealousy, and how and why it's served to help us as a species. You will learn that confronting jealousy in your relationship does not have to be a catastrophe, but can redirect you and your partner to build more trust, acceptance, and connection
Emotional Schema Therapy
The emotional schema model proposes that individuals differ in their interpretations, evaluations, and strategies about emotional experience. Fourteen dimensions that are related to problematic strategies of emotion regulation are identified. Specific interventions for several of these strategies are identified, and examples of implementation are described. Finally, problematic schemas about emotions—both on the part of patients and therapists—ar…

The development of concepts of economic and social inequality
With increasing age, children explain wealth and poverty by referring to individual differences in work, effort, and intelligence rather than social-structural or political factors. Such explanations of inequality support a belief in a just world where the "losers" are viewed as obtaining their just due
The development of classificatory skills and sex-trait stereotypes in children
Development of the conception of economic inequality
Children and adolescents from four social classes were interviewed about their concepts of economic inequality. Adolescents were more likely than children to explain and justify inequality by referring to equity and were more fatalistic in their conceptions of change and in justifying wealth and poverty. Younger children were more likely than adolescents to claim that individual mobility and social change could be achieved through others giving m…
Parental practices and the development of moral judgment and self-image disparity during adolescence
The development of adolescent self-concept and moral judgment was related to parents' child-rearing practices. Higher self-image disparity, more positive ideal self-image, and less positive real self-image were related to a higher level of moral judgment. Parental practices that emphasized unilateral respect or that were nonnurturant were related to a lower level of moral judgment and to less emphasis on postconventional judgments. Among boys, hi…
Moral judgment and the development of real and ideal androgynous self-image during adolescence and young adulthood
Subjects at 13, 17, and 20 years of age responded to Rest's Defining Issues Test and to Bern's Sex-Role Inventory (BSRI). The BSRI was divided into real self-image and ideal self-image formats. Seventeen-year-old and college-age males showed less preference on ideal image for masculine characteristics and more preference for feminine characteristics compared to 13-year-old males. College-age females had a greater preference for masculine compared…
Development of conceptions of prosocial behavior
Adults and 6-year-old and 11-year-old children were presented with information about situations in which one child either helped someone (kindness) or gave something to someone (altruism), with subjects allocating rewards for different actors. Younger children used an additive principle by allocating greater rewards for behavior which led to positive consequences for the actor or avoided negative consequences. Older children and adults utilized a…
Fear of success in males and females
Role taking and self-image disparity in children
Development of preferences and processes of visual scanning in the human infant during the first 3 months of life
Developmental trends in qualified inferences and descriptions of self and others
Recent investigations of person perception have been focused on increasing complexity in person descriptions with increasing age (Scarlett, Press, & Crockett, 1971; Secord & Peevers, 1974). Rather than denning others (or self) as characterized by predictive trait attributes, the more cognitively complex person perceiver might consider the situational and temporal variability of a person's behavior—an approach to trait measurement that Mischel (19…
