foundations of psychosocial dynamic personality theory of collective people
Clinical Psychology Review, 2002Co-Authors: Marwan DwairyAbstract:Abstract The concept of personality emerged as a part of the development of individualism in the western world to understand the quality of the newborn (individual). In premodern society, roles were the elements that constituted the person. Presently, about 80% of the people (Africa, Asia, and South America) in the world still live in a collective, Authoritarian System. Personality theories that have been developed in Europe and North America seem to be limited in understanding and predicting the behavior of these people. One major difference between individualistic and collective peoples is their degree of individuation from the family. Western social–political Systems enable individuals at the end of their development course to form an independent personality (or self) that is unique and different from others. For westerners, personality structures and processes enable us to predict behavior. Psychopathology is attributed to an intrapsychic disorder within the personality. Typically, psychotherapy aims to restore that order. For people who live in collective social Systems, individuation does not take place. Therefore, norms, values, roles, and familial authority directives predict behavior more than personality. Psychopathology among these people has to do with interpersonal disorder within the family. Therefore, psychotherapy should aim to restore that order. This manuscript suggests foundations of a new psychosocial dynamic theory of personality to better fit our understanding of people living in collective societies.

on the construction of singapore s Authoritarian System and the reducion of the cost of social development
Journal of Shanxi University, 2006Co-Authors: Sun JingfengAbstract:The economic growth and social sustainable and high-speed development of Singapore result from the construction of Authoritarian System of the People's Action Party. The Authoritarian System that PAP set up has played an important role in the maintenance of social order and the political stability. Relying on the Authoritarian System, PAP has coordinated economic development, done strategic plan well, disposed the resources effectively, developed the wide international market, and made Singapore further upgrade its international competitiveness as well. The Authoritarian System is a kind of model of development with low participating and high input, which has the rigid ability of regulation and controlling, utilizes the formidable state machine and the mobilization ability of political resources, and gets rid of the possible political turbulence and crisis in the process of modernization by the rigid way. This Authoritarian political pattern can help Singapore, a post-developed country with the multi-race, multi-religion and plural culture, deal with various complicated contradictions, and also help Singapore finish its advancement of modernization and reduce the cost of social development under the state of stable order.

disobeying an illegitimate request in a democratic or Authoritarian System
Political Psychology, 2010Co-Authors: Stefano Passini, Davide MorselliAbstract:Crimes of obedience in the form of illegal or immoral acts committed in response to orders from authority occur in many contexts. In particular, under some circumstances of threats, people can easily accept restrictions upon democratic procedures. Recent studies have underlined the role of legitimacy in understanding the authority relationship and the importance of evaluating the legitimacy of the request rather than the legitimacy of the authority in preventing the rise of Authoritarianism. The purpose of this study was to verify if people respond differently when an illegitimate request is put forward by a democratic or an Authoritarian authority. The results on 224 subjects confirmed that people tend to be more obedient when they perceive authorities as democratic, notwithstanding the legitimacy of their requests.

the russian media under putin and medvedev controlled media in an Authoritarian System
2011Co-Authors: Birgitte HopstadAbstract:What we see in Russia today is a dual media System, with independent and critical newspapers on one side vs. controlled and censored television channels on the other. The independent media are facing severe difficulties, and the accountability of the elected are nearly non-existing. The weaknesses of the judicial System allowing arbitrary exercising of the legislation against journalists, the increased control of media outlets both regional and federal, among television channels, newspapers and online media, lack of access to information, all are preventing the development of the media as the fourth estate providing a check on those in power. Journalistic practises, the heritage from the Soviet era and not at least the ownership structures are contributing to the development of a media System in favour of Authoritarianism. Globalization has only a minor effect on freedom of speech due to increased control of the internet, and the capacities the authorities have shown to use globalization to their own advantage. The Russian media today are far more contributing to uphold an Authoritarian regime than contributing to increased democracy.
