2024 Article Newsletter Volume 4
Welcome to March 2024 Volume 4 article update newsletter. During the last several weeks, the added articles are mixed. A few of the articles are a carry-over from the social psychology focus from February. I added a few additional defense mechanism articles and mood disorder articles.
The lone oddball subject of this batch is mental contrasting. Mental contrasting is a cognitive function also known as “mental comparison”, is a psychological strategy that involves comparing the desired future with the current reality. This technique is commonly used in goal setting and behavior change efforts to bridge the gap between envisioning a positive outcome and recognizing the potential obstacles or challenges in achieving it. I found the topic interesting.
