Needed genuine review from helpful/supportive audience with a book created on Cognitive Dissonance.

So what I am here for is - some volunteers who can have a read of this book (I would be happy to share some PDFs) and if you can provide me some genuine review on the book. Please comment here if interested - for me personally researching this topic and writing this was a definite infinitely eye-opening experience.

I need information about self-destructive patterns and how early age trauma affects it for my IB Psychology Extended Essay.

Hi, I'm an IB student and I need help from psychology students or psychologists who have knowledge in trauma, SH and neurology. I would really appreciate if someone could tell me what books, websites, and resources in general would help me in my investigation. Also, here is my research question: "How do trauma-related changes in the brain contribute to the development of self-destructive behavioral patterns, including masochistic tendencies?" (if my research question is not well structure or doesn't make sense please tell me so I can change it :D) I'm really lost and don't know where to start, what to say or how to connect childhood trauma with a future masochist or how masochist even become one :( Thank you for reading this! ^^ (sorry if I didn't explain my problem very well)

PD: Any type of constructive criticism is welcome :)

Then I would love to interview you about your experiences and insights with horror media and its use as an emotional support.

I’m studying psychology at Brunel University London and this (low risk) project has been approved by the ethics committee.

My post was removed before for having a link so please if you are interested or have any questions please DM me.

Effects of AI on the mental health of young adults?

I have questions about AI usage and its effects on young adults for a research paper for school.

Hi! Im not sure if this is allowed but I have a research paper for a college class coming up soon. The class is online but we are told to interview people in fields related to our chosen subjects. If anyone has time to answer a few questions I would really appreciate the help!

The paper is about how the sycohpantic behavior of generative AI models, particularly ChatGPT, pose a risk to the mental health of young adults about age 15 - 22 who's brains and view of the world are not yet fully formed.

  1. What risks are unique to conversational AI compared with earlier internet technologies?

  2. Do you have any concerns about young adults using AI? If so what are they?

  3. How do you think AI use could impact a young person's critical thinking skills, problem solving skills, and/or social development?

  4. What personality traits make someone more vulnerable to negative effects of communicating with AI?

  5. What signs would you look for to indicate that someone has an unhealthy attachment or use of AI?

  6. How do AI conversations differ psychologically from conversations with a friend or parent?

  7. From your standpoint what kind of gaps do we have in knowledge pertaining to AI affects on young adults mental health?

You can answer as many or as little as you like, and any other input you might have on the subject or recommendations for articles for me to look into are very much appreciated.

Thank you in advance for any help!

question

Why does traditional medicine encourage addicts to get married? How will marriage solve the problem? It's well known that addicts get bored easily and always crave change; even if they marry the most beautiful woman in the world, they'll still get bored.
