Burnham, Terence C.; Phelan, John P. (2018): Fair is foul, and foul is fair. Experimental evolutionary studies of mismatch. In: Journal of Bioeconomics 20 (1), S. 153-157. DOI: 10.1007/s10818-017-9266-7

Abstract: We describe two types of experimental evolution studies of 'mismatch' that are relevant to economics. 'Evolutionary mismatch' is the concept that an organism can be importantly 'out of sync' with its environment. In such cases, an organism may choose an option that is inferior to a feasible alternative. Mainstream and behavioral economics do not address the notion of evolutionary mismatch. We argue for an empirical program on mismatch utilizing the methodology of experimental evolution. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2018 APA, all rights reserved)

Abstract: Human psychological mechanisms are adaptations that evolved to process environmental inputs, turning them into behavioral outputs that, on average, increase survival or reproductive prospects. Modern contexts, however, differ vastly from the environments that existed as human psychological mechanisms evolved. Many inputs now differ in quantity and intensity or no longer have the same fitness associations, thereby leading many mechanisms to produce maladaptive output. We present the precepts of this evolutionary mismatch process, highlight areas of mismatch, and consider implications for psychological science and policy.

Stefanics, Gabor; Kremlacek, Jan; Czigler, Istvan (2014): Visual mismatch negativity. A predictive coding view. In: Frontiers in human neuroscience 8

Abstract: Reviewed the theoretical underpinnings of visual mismatch negativity (vMMN) in light of methodological considerations and provided recommendations for measuring and interpreting the vMMN. An increasing number of studies have investigated the vMMN or used the vMMN as a tool to probe various aspects of human cognition. The following key issues were discussed from the experimentalist's point of view in a predictive coding framework: (1) experimental protocols and procedures to control refractoriness effects; (2) methods to control attention; and (3) vMMN and veridical perception. zitiert von 93

Thess, Karin (2014): Grenzen - seelische Struktur und der Einfluss veranderter Arbeits-, Lebens- und Selbstkonzepte. In: Psychodynamische Psychotherapie 13 (3), S. 152-161

Abstract: Seelische Erkrankungen werden zunehmend vor dem Hintergrund veranderter Arbeits- und Lebensbedingungen diskutiert. Aufgrund der Komplexitat der Entstehungsbedingungen dieser Storungen ist die Auseinandersetzung mit den moglichen Ursachen schwierig und entsprechend unvollstandig. Ausgehend vom grundlegenden Aufbau organischer Substanz und Freuds Annahmen zur Funktion eines effektiven Reizschutzes werden Grenzen und deren Auswirkungen auf das Gleichgewicht bzw. Ungleichgewicht untersucht. Reflektiert werden Wachstums- und Machbarkeitsideologien und entsprechende Auswirkungen auf das Selbstbild und die Erwartungen des Individuums an sich selbst und an andere. Die Leugnung der Begrenztheit befordert grandiose Erwartungen und fuhrt, bei entsprechender Disposition, zu seelischer Krankheit. Die Modediagnose "Burnout" hat diesem Phanomen einen Namen gegeben.
