Those involved with self-image research may find this of value.
New research indicates television provides escape
from feelings of inadequacy.

Nice catch, Bruce. This study seems to demonstrate nearly everything that’s
wrong with most conventional psychological research.
Best regards
Rick

“We each have ways in which we like to perceive ourselves,” said
Moskalenko, a doctoral student in psychology at Penn. "In many cases self-image
is carefully constructed and zealously guarded, and it’s difficult to experience
a conflict between who we are and who we would like to be.
Thanks Bruce,
I always appreciate refs in my areas of special interest. I thought
the quote above, is a nice illustration of the “self” as a control system.
PS and RS are clearly depicted. Too bad this kind of research isn’t
regularly done on a PCT basis.
Best, Dick R
