Delilah On Net 🌼How child sexual abuse affects sexual development; some thoughts and science paper; not suitable for some people
Dusty<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://autistics.life/@AutisticInnovator" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>AutisticInnovator</span></a></span> it would behoove you to take careful note of the following: when you make a statement sheerly about <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/Autism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Autism</span></a> or <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/ADHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ADHD</span></a>, that's a statement where you're publicly admitting weakness and vulnerability. When you make a statement about being an entrepreneur or business-person, that's a statement of strength. Note how they let through the statement of weakness (in fact aggressively promote it), but tackle the statement of strength around the ankles. This is also a highly predictable pattern in narcissistic abuse: a narcissist wants you to look like garbage in front of others, if at all possible. *Never upstaging them. Never taking the limelight.*</p><p>There's a famous Mahayana <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/Buddhist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Buddhist</span></a> saying which goes something like the following: "those that hide the virtues of others, are the most evil villains of all".</p><p><a href="https://autistics.life/tags/psychology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>psychology</span></a></p>

In a so-called "narcissistic shared fantasy", the rules of the relationship are never stated openly by the abuser. This is because you very likely wouldn't agree with them if they were stated upfront, as your end of the bargain is so very poor.</p><p>Great video explaining what a "narcissistic shared fantasy" is, by a credible psychologist:</p><p>"Narcissistic Theatre: Sorry, You Just Don’t Matter Much To Them":<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XW2NC0mhlrY" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">youtube.com/watch?v=XW2NC0mhlrY</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://autistics.life/tags/psychology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>psychology</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/Facebook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Facebook</span></a></p>

Delilah On Net 🌼<p>Tip... I enjoy being here. I might enjoy using social media again.</p><p>If any <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/Psychology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Psychology</span></a> workers see this and deal with spending too much time on something they like, especially during work...</p><p>It's okay to keep a tab on Mastodon or something you like. But if I have a session, phone is off and away from my sight to focus on patient! My workplace allows me to spend time my own way when I am not in papers or with a patient.</p><p>Please make use of screen time limiting features or apps if you think you spend too much time and start to get addicted! Dopamine feels good but too much in a short time can lead to depression because receptors get used to it. It is like drug addiction.</p><p>Be responsible in this new age</p>
nausicaea<p>I just realised that I had never made an intro post, so here it is:</p><p>As you'll see on my profile, I'm a bit of a professional chimera. I studied an engineering field back in the day, but switched gears to clinical psychology when the stars aligned for such a big change.</p><p>I'm interested in very many things, and one day, I would like to either work in child-and-youth psychiatry, psychotherapy, or psychological counselling for minorities.

Delilah On Net 🌼<p>Hello Mastodon! 👋 </p><p>My name is Delilah. (it's my online alias, not a legal name). I am a psychologist and youth counselor, and I mostly work with people suffering from personality disorders, eating disorders, and ASD/ADHD/ADD.</p><p>I have had teenage patients as well as adults and even families. In my career I even worked at schools but ended up abandoning that path due to constant defunding, where I no longer could help people without struggling to pay bills.</p><p>I will be posting mostly about how mental disorders work and to share some information about them. However I want to make it clear, that what I post should never be a substitute for actual medical consultation, and that I will not do therapy on social media.<br>I want to keep myself somewhat anonymous to not reveal my real-life identity, and to of course respect privacy laws related to my profession.</p><p>Outside of that, I like to keep myself up to date with technology and privacy, as it affects our mental health no matter how much we tend to deny this. I'm a cat mom of two, and love to tend to my mini-garden of vegetables.</p><p>I am not from USA, and English is not my first language, so please excuse my mistakes.

Mx. Luna Corbden<p>There's this channel on YouTube, The Resurrectionists) that digs into the ancient origins of European fairy tales. It's really interesting. I'm watching the Frog Prince one right now.

Fairytales are the memories of an "organism" that lives longer than hundreds of generations of human lifetimes. I'm one of its neurons. You're one of its neurons.

Please check research methods when conclusions are very important to you. **<br>-------------------------------------------------</p><p>TITLE: Researchers explore the role of social and sexual attractiveness in hiring decisions</p><p>URL: <a href="https://www.psypost.org/researchers-explore-the-role-of-social-and-sexual-attractiveness-in-hiring-decisions/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">psypost.org/researchers-explor</span><span class="invisible">e-the-role-of-social-and-sexual-attractiveness-in-hiring-decisions/</span></a></p><p>People tend to say that they prioritize social warmth and vitality over physical beauty when evaluating others in both personal and professional contexts, according to a new study published in the Archives of Sexual Behavior. But these self-reported ideals might not fully match how decisions actually play out in the real world.</p><p>The concept of attractiveness has long been studied in psychology, evolutionary biology, and even management. Although it’s widely accepted that attractive individuals often enjoy social and professional advantages—like higher salaries and more positive evaluations—most studies have looked at isolated aspects of attractiveness, like facial symmetry or grooming.</p><p>The new study aimed to take a more comprehensive view by investigating “erotic capital,” a concept introduced by sociologist Catherine Hakim. Erotic capital refers to a collection of traits that make a person attractive to others in social, romantic, or professional settings. It includes five elements: five elements: beauty, social attractiveness, sexual attractiveness, liveliness, and social presentation.</p><p>Beauty refers to features like facial symmetry, clear skin, and a proportional body—traits often associated with physical appeal. Social attractiveness includes friendliness, warmth, empathy, and the ability to connect easily with others; these traits make a person pleasant and approachable. Sexual attractiveness involves a person’s sex appeal or charisma, which may be expressed through body language, confidence, or the way they emphasize their physical or intellectual assets. </p><p>Liveliness reflects a person’s energy, humor, curiosity, and optimism—characteristics that can make someone feel engaging and full of life. Finally, social presentation refers to how someone styles or presents themselves, including clothing, grooming, makeup, accessories, and overall personal appearance. </p><p>The researchers wanted to see whether people take these traits into account when meeting someone new or making professional judgments like hiring or performance evaluations. They were particularly interested in how these traits are weighed in employment decisions, which are often assumed to be based purely on merit or qualifications.</p><p>The research was carried out in Poland using an anonymous online survey that reached 471 respondents, including 344 women and 127 men. Most participants were under the age of 30 and had some professional experience. About one-third had experience conducting job interviews, and more than half had evaluated colleagues or subordinates in a work setting.</p><p>Participants were asked to rate how much 23 specific traits influenced their impression of another person across three hypothetical situations: meeting someone in a private setting, interviewing a job candidate, and evaluating a colleague they already knew. These 23 traits were grouped under the five dimensions of erotic capital.</p><p>For example, social attractiveness included qualities like friendliness, empathy, and the ability to make others feel comfortable. Liveliness referred to traits like optimism, humor, and energetic behavior. Presentation covered appearance-related choices like hairstyle, clothing, and accessories. Sexual attractiveness included whether someone highlighted their physical or intellectual assets or exhibited femininity or masculinity. Beauty referred to physical features such as facial symmetry and body proportions.</p><p>When it came to private life, participants said they valued friendliness, empathy, and warmth the most—traits under the dimension of social attractiveness. Liveliness was also highly rated, suggesting that energy and curiosity contribute significantly to how people form personal connections. In contrast, traits related to physical appearance, like a fit body or symmetrical face, were seen as relatively less important.</p><p>During hypothetical job interviews, the pattern was similar. Respondents said they would be most influenced by a candidate’s friendliness, appropriate clothing, and ability to relate to others. Presentation and social skills were rated more highly than physical attractiveness or sex appeal. The same general trend emerged when participants imagined evaluating a coworker they had known for some time.</p><p>Across all three contexts, social attractiveness and liveliness consistently stood out as the most influential dimensions. Traits associated with beauty and sexual attractiveness were often rated lower, especially in professional settings.</p><p>However, these findings came with notable gender differences. Men tended to place more weight on sexual attractiveness than women did. Women gave higher ratings to social warmth, energy, and presentation. Age also played a role: younger participants gave more importance to sex appeal, while older respondents placed greater emphasis on vitality and personal presentation.</p><p>Even though most respondents said beauty was not especially influential in hiring or evaluation decisions, the researchers noted that these responses diverged from existing literature. Prior research has consistently shown that physical attractiveness does affect employment outcomes—often in ways people may not consciously recognize.</p><p>The researchers caution that their findings may reflect what people think they should say rather than how they actually behave. Because the questions were hypothetical, participants may have been influenced by social desirability bias—a tendency to give responses that seem acceptable or fair, rather than admitting to biases they might hold unconsciously.</p><p>This effect may be especially strong in professional scenarios, where respondents could feel pressure to downplay the importance of beauty or sexual attractiveness. The authors suggest that some participants might have answered based on what they believe is right or politically correct, rather than what truly influences their judgments.</p><p>This gap between ideals and real-world behavior raises important questions. If people claim that physical attractiveness doesn’t matter in hiring, but empirical evidence shows otherwise, then unconscious biases may still be affecting decision-making in subtle ways. Recognizing this disconnect is essential for understanding how people navigate workplace dynamics—and for promoting fairer employment practices.</p><p>The researchers plan to build on this work by examining real-world hiring and performance evaluation experiences and by considering how both assessors and those being assessed perceive the role of erotic capital. They also hope to investigate how conscious and unconscious judgments differ, and whether certain traits are more or less important depending on job type or organizational culture.</p><p>The study, “Erotic Capital: The Role of Attractiveness in Employment and Private Life,” was authored by Katarzyna Wojtaszczyk and Marzena Syper‑Jędrzejak.</p><p>URL: <a href="https://www.psypost.org/researchers-explore-the-role-of-social-and-sexual-attractiveness-in-hiring-decisions/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">psypost.org/researchers-explor</span><span class="invisible">e-the-role-of-social-and-sexual-attractiveness-in-hiring-decisions/</span></a></p><p>-------------------------------------------------</p><p>Private, vetted email list for mental health professionals: <a href="https://www.clinicians-exchange.org" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">clinicians-exchange.org</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>Unofficial Psychology Today Xitter to toot feed at Psych Today Unofficial Bot <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.clinicians-exchange.org/@PTUnofficialBot" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>PTUnofficialBot</span></a></span></p><p>NYU Information for Practice puts out 400-500 good quality health-related research posts per week but its too much for many people, so that bot is limited to just subscribers.

Robert Roy Britt<p>For some of us, things we cannot see or find solid evidence for tend to all fall into the same category: Maybe they exist, but without proof, we choose not to just believe. Others have firm convictions about God and other religious beliefs. Then there are people who cling to black cats and other supernatural musings. While belief can run the spectrum, these scientists find most people fit into one of four groups. </p><p><a href="https://medium.com/wise-well/angels-witches-and-crystals-what-americans-believe-in-and-why-6b6e68ad22fe?sk=2900c9c94ee93c429b5b856d88dbe7c9" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">medium.com/wise-well/angels-wi</span><span class="invisible">tches-and-crystals-what-americans-believe-in-and-why-6b6e68ad22fe?sk=2900c9c94ee93c429b5b856d88dbe7c9</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://me.dm/tags/psychology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>psychology</span></a> <a href="https://me.dm/tags/religion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>religion</span></a> <a href="https://me.dm/tags/spirituality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>spirituality</span></a></p>
