that cursed feeling of looking at a body of research and going “this is really obvious but I cannot find any offshoots looking at it”. like did I just find a huge gap in research or is the literature about it just weirdly obscure? like you cannot tell me that nobody has looked at how goal disengagement interacts with help-seeking behavior. that is way too simple a question for nobody to have asked. It’s literally part of the assimilative mode of coping. and you are telling me nobody has looked at it??? that cannot be it
#like Brandtstadter & Greve do describe these processes as adjustments in the self-image#and I cannot find literature going “yeah we should look at how people have to let go of their self-image of being able to do something#independently to allow them to seek help” and I stg there probs is literature about this#just not using a framework of developmental regulation#because by god psychologists love to reinvent the same shit over and over again just with slightly different vocabulary in a different field#of psychology#probably social psychology those bastards#why can’t you work integratively people
