Fear Of Disappointing Research Articles

Towards Sustainable Nigerian Architectural Education

Architectural education comes from a long tradition of technical and artistic apprenticeship which is evolving in Nigeria and around the world. The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between design education (what), learning styles (how) and personality types (who) in a bid to develop sustainable, inclusive teaching strategies for the 21st century and beyond. The quantitative study assessed the preferred learning styles and predisposition for the five genetic personality traits in students of Architecture at the University of Jos, and juxtaposed the findings against their performance in design studio. The study findings showed that Accommodators and Divergers who were the highest performers in design studio were also the more likely to exhibit openness and conscientiousness. Convergers were more willing to accept criticism from their mentors and peers, and Assimilators were more prone to neurosis displayed as fear of disappointment and anxiety when they performed lower than their contemporaries. The study findings encourage continued monitoring of evolving teaching and learning styles, as well as cognisance of students' distinctive personality types to guide educators in developing teaching modules and methods that will be enduring and effective for holistic architectural education.

Narzeczona w tafli lodu, czyli jak kino mawia o nieprzeniknioności uczuć miłosnych („45 lat” Andrew Haigha)

The subject of analysis in the article is the 2015 British film 45 Years (dir. Andrew Haigh), which is an adaptation of David Constantine’s novel In Another Country. The film presents an intimate image that, in a subtle way, talks about the complexity of feelings of love, constantly oscillate between the desire for intimate closeness and exclusiveness, and the fear of disappointment (longing for emotional fullness and a sense of failure). Inscribing the problem of the dialectical complexity of the emotional life of a man in the context of old age and transience seems unconventional and, therefore, particularly valuable in this film. An important theme in 45 Years, emphasised by the title itself, is the past; invisible on a daily basis, it lurks under the surface of the present. Its iconic (though only imaginary) representation is connected with the plot of the first, lost fiancée of the hero, whose remains – after half a century – are unexpectedly found on a Swiss glacier. The author of the article argues that the fact that it concerns a young woman’s body (preserved in a transparent substance in a strange coincidence), by virtue of intertextual implications, brings an archetypal element to the essentially prosaic story; this archetypal element has then far-reaching consequences in the symbolic plan of the film. Skilful reference to the fairy-tale motif of the ‘glass coffin’ allowed the British director for portraying in this audio-visual story, which talks about the emotional dramas of two elderly people, an image of these internal experiences that in their intimate subtlety remain impenetrable and inexpressible.

An Island Entire of Itself: Narcissism in Anorexia Nervosa

ABSTRACTThis article explores the idea of anorexia nervosa as a narcissistic disorder, in which the denial of the need for food symbolically represents a denial of the need for relatedness and dependence. Narcissism is a state in which self and object are undifferentiated and all objects are felt to be within the individual’s omnipotent control. Primary narcissism occurs when the capacity for object relations has never developed and secondary narcissism develops as a defense against dependence which is associated with overwhelming anxiety, envy, or fear of disappointment. Both processes can occur in anorexia nervosa, which provides a cognitive and behavioral framework for the expression and maintenance of the narcissistic position. Narcissistic anorexia is a state of omnipotent isolation in which the patient denies one of her most basic needs and rejects a powerful source of connection with the outside world. An important aim of therapy is to help the patient to develop a capacity for object relations and to be able to acknowledge dependence. This is achieved through coming to experience the therapist as separate and real and requires the therapist to resist being taken over by the patient’s projections.

Epigenetics and the New Science of Thriving in Autism: How the Parents' and the Caregivers’ Expectations Directly Affects the Autistic Child's Ability to Thrive

If there is one thing that every parent with a child with Autism grapples with on a daily basis, it is dealing with expectations or the lack of it and the fear of disappointment, where it concerns their autistic child. The understanding of Epigenetics and the latest discoveries in Psychology and Energy Medicine has now revealed that it is the Environment of negative and lowered expectations set up collectively and individually by the professionals, parents and care-givers of children with autism that is directly affecting the ability of the autistic child to Thrive. The important point to note here is that almost all the research that is being done in the area of Epigenetics in autism is focused upon finding the cause or the causes for autism. There have been numerous studies and articles written about the epigenetics of the environmental pollutants, the mother’s state of health and stressors during pregnancy, assisted reproduction technology and so on that most people may be aware of. This article however, chooses to focus upon the Epigenetic aspect of the solution in autism that can be applied right away to see the autistic child thrive. It also explores the new scientific understanding of epigenetic factors in autism and the practical application of Positive Expectation from the state of Energy Alignment as an Epigenetic tool that helps children with autism Thrive with their unique gifts and abilities.

Children of divorce: report of a ten-year follow-up of early latency-age children.

Findings from a ten-year follow-up of 38 youngsters now 16 to 18 years old, whose parents divorced during the children's early latency, suggest that separation from families and the transition into young adulthood are burdened by fear of disappointment in love relationships, lowered expectations, and a sense of powerlessness. A need for the father, especially among boys, appears to burgeon at middle and late adolescence.

Is Hermes the Hierophant, or Is Christ?The Genesis of Secrecy: On the Interpretation of Narrative. Frank Kermode

When the literary critic and the New Testament scholar meet, it is like the meeting of people who know they are relatives but who do not quite know what to do with each other. There is between them a certain shyness, there are expectations, and there is the fear of disappointment. The analogy may illustrate the strange relationship that exists between literary criticism and New Testament scholarship. They are relatives who share an important part of world literature and unknown quantities of methodology. But usually they keep their distance, presumably for the sake of prudence and mutual respect, and meet only occasionally. Frank Kermode's book is the result of such an occasional meeting, the invitation to give the Charles Eliot Norton Lectures at Harvard University in 1977-78. To continue the image, the meeting of the relatives was a success, and so is the resultant book. Part of the success comes from an
