Psychology question for someone. Need help!
Boring thread I know. This is for a study I've been working on the entire semester based on a crapload of other mass studies on gender.
Rather than kill this thread with specifics I just need advice on WTF this means.
Results from one large sample of leading gender activists showed that they had a "regressive perception of the mother figure".
WHAT THE FVCK does that mean?
I understood all the other results but I've been arguing with my brother (who disagrees with me) that its bad.
Would you derive (a) - good (b) - inconclusive or (c) bad.
I want to say (c) because "regression" is a defense mechanism people use to cope with an anxiety producing stimulus. The stimulus here being the mother figure.
My brother says no, theres "logistic regression" which is something we consciously do (like consciouslly regress in to your medical history to prevent a future heart attack).
I say it wasn't defined as "logistic" so its bad. He says define it as (b), but I genuinely think its bad because they ALSO showed (f) authoritative and anxiety-provoking perception of the father figure.
This shit is driving me fvcking crazy & its so stupid!!!
