Perceived closeness that preserves the distinctness of each partner enhances intimate relationship quality, whereas pseudocloseness or enmeshment—reflecting an inability to distinguish one's own thoughts and emotions from a partner's—may have more negative outcomes (R. J. Green & P. D. Werner, 1996). Two studies investigated whether a dispositional inability to differentiate self from other is manifested at the attentional level as reduced capacity to inhibit following the gaze of another (A. Frischen, A. P. Bayliss, & S. P. Tipper, 2007). Among healthy elderly spouses in Study 1, superior gaze control predicted superior sociocognitive functioning, and those with poorer gaze control abilities were perceived by the partner as constricting the perceiving partner's autonomy, which in turn predicted lower relationship satisfaction among the latter. Moreover, these links were mediated by enmeshment, as indicated by the percentage of “we”-focused versus “I”- or partner-focused thoughts and emotions in the partners' independent accounts of the same relationship events. Extending these findings in a sample of Parkinson's disease patients and their spouses, Study 2 revealed a biphasic effect of self–other differentiation on relationship dynamics: In the early stages of the disease, increased couple focus promoted superior relationship quality, whereas lack of self–other differentiation predicted poorer relationship quality later. Thus, dispositional variations in fundamental social-perceptual processes predict both close relationship dynamics and long-term relationship quality.

math jokes

Theorem. A cat has nine tails.

Proof. No cat has eight tails. Since one cat has one more tail than no cat, it must have nine tails.

 Q: How can you tell that a mathematician is extroverted?
A: When talking to you, he looks at your shoes instead of at his. 

A woman in a bar tries to pick up a mathematician.
"How old, do you think, am I?" she asks coyly.
"Well - 18 by that fire in your eyes, 19 by that glow on your cheeks, 20 by that radiance of your face, and adding that up is something you can probably do for yourself..."

He knows himself as a mere academic person with  scientific concerns ! he never attends in political conflicts…he pays no attention to social and political discussions…he believes these r just some kind of rabish. Last night , while crossing ther road he hears the sound of siren police cars for protecting the charectors….he just sits there…on the pavement an cries for half an hour!...who Is he actually? A simple unknown researcher or a recently  born revolutionist?

the taste of calmness

the first night of calmness. the main duty of these days is tasting the meaning of the word" calmness" ....it tastes so sour! so sweet...so...just like a piece of "lavashak", you put it in your mouth. close your eyes and wait to experience the taste of it in your brain. in your heart. in your soul. you wish nobody disturb you. you wish nobody speak to you. as it is getting wet in your mouth, you are brought back to the time you were fetus. the only time you felt pure freedom and justice in your life. calmness tastes just like a piece of "lavashak". so sour,so sweet, so lovely, so memorable, ...and so inspiring!you put it in your mouth. close your eyes, and wait to be brought back to all the best moments in your life: it tastes as that piece of cake Marcel Prouest put in his mouth in "remebrance of times past"...it helps you jump(fly) many many steps ahead in completing your unfinished childhood.

a 3*4 world

these days I am living in a 3*4 room (at maximum). this cozy room is the biggest world I have ever experienced living in!

پنجشنبه هشت شهريور هزار و سيصد و هشتاد ونه: دويست و سي و يكمين سمينار علوم عصب شناختي اجتماعي: بيمارستان شهداي تجريش. ارائه دهنده دكتر نجل رحيم.
عنوان ارائه: صاعقه ايي بدرخشيد و عشقي شعله ور شد!
موضوع ارائه گزارش كتاب اليور سكس در باب مردي به نام چيكوريست كه پس از يك تجربه نزديك به مرگ -نير دس اكسپرينس- دچار علاقه وسواس گونه به موسيقي مي شه. و اين علاقه چنان در اون ريشه مي گيره كه به واسطه تلاش اجبار گونش بعد از مدتي اين آقا كه جراح استخوان هست تبديل به يك موزيسين ميشه - مي تونين فيلم اجراهاي اين آقا رو از اينترنت دانلود كنيد- مي دونيم كه چنين مواردي در تاريخ كم نيستند. كساني كه نبوغشون در زمينه ايي خاص بعد از يك تصادف يا يك ميستيك اكسپرينس شكوفا ميشه- بر عكسش يعني از بين رفتن يك مهارت در نتيجه آسيب كه خيلي شايعه و محل بحث نيست-.
هرچند تا حالا مكانيسم دقيقي براي توضيح اين اتفاق تبيين نشده، اما يكي از قانع كننده ترين تئوري ها، تئوري اينهيبيشن- ديس هيبيشن هست. طبق اين تئوري انسان در زمينه هاي گوناگون داري توانايي هاي خارق العاده ايست كه اين هيبيت يا بازداري شده و اين اتفاقات اين بازداري رو بازداري زدايي مي كنند و اجازه مي دن اون توانايي بافعل بشه! توضيح اينكه حالا چرا يك توانايي خاص شكوفا ميشه و خيلي سوالات جزئي تر در اينجا نمي گنجه. اما فكر كردن به نتايج تلويحي جالبي كه از دل اين فرضيه بر مياد جالب خواهد بود.

صميميت

برآيند وجود يك رفتار، يك روحيه و خصيصه در يك رابطه صميمانه هميشه ثابت است. بعد از مدتي من شبيه تو مي شوم و تو شبيه من! من خيلي رفتارها ، عادات و روحياتم را در بودن با تو گم مي كنم ، وتو آنها را برايم حفظ مي كني ! چيزي اين وسط گم نمي شود
