Talk:Psychological mindedness

Just as something to contribute, my experience has been that PM has more to do with internal wiring rather than maturity.

For example, my brain likes to replay events that involve myself or others. It looks for connections between actions and meaning. I don't do this with the intention of over-analyzing things, it just happens automatically during day-to-day life. The result is that I am very much in the first PM category, whereas most people I know (possibly 99%) would be in the 2nd-4th categories.

(one example would my brain going through everyone I know in an attempt to determine if 99% is an exaggeration)

You have one listed as a reference source. See if you can do better than that. Regards, Mattisse (Talk) 00:51, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Plagiarism

The sentences "Psychological mindedness bespeaks a capacity to tolerate psychological conflict and stress intrapsychically rather than by regressive means of conflict management or resolution such as somatization. Its role, like that of alexithymia, in the genesis of psychosomatic illness is becoming evident" are taken, word for word, from the abstract of a published paper by Shill and Lumley. True, this paper is cited at the end of the seconde sentence, but a direct quote has to be (at a minimum) placed inside quotation marks in order not to be plagiarism. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.138.65.127 (talk) 22:10, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

Mindfulness (psychology)

there looks to be an overlap with Mindfulness (psychology)--Penbat (talk) 18:25, 24 February 2013 (UTC)

I think there is quite a difference. I understand Psychological mindedness as the capacity for (self)-reflection, whereas Mindfulness is the capacity of being here and now, without engaging in reflection. For instance, in anger, someone with a psychological mindedness might analyze the source of the anger, while the one with mindfulness just experiences the anger as it is, without analyzing anything. Just my two cents! Lova Falk talk 19:58, 24 February 2013 (UTC)

im not disagreeing with you but "the here and now" is yet another topic that needs covering on Wiki, see for example The Power of Now. The latest book by Oliver James "Office Politics: How to Thrive in a World of Lying, Backstabbing and Dirty Tricks" touches on the here and now as being an important aspect of emotional health.--Penbat (talk) 21:40, 24 February 2013 (UTC)

Link needs correcting

The link to "Emotional Intelligence" in the "See Also" section resolves to the page for a book by that name rather than the proper article. (I do not know how to correct this.)Bron6669 (talk) 10:02, 10 October 2017 (UTC)
