“…Third, processes of assimilation and accommodation (Hanfstingl et al, 2022) were evident and at times simultaneously within participants’ narratives. Participants interpreted as constructively accommodating their traumatic accident via reconstruction and meaning making appeared to experience PTG identities.…”

Aims: This study intended to explore how men farmers who became amputees due to farming accidents understand and experience their posttrauma identity. Method: A qualitative design employing interpretative phenomenological analysis explored the experiences of eight men farmers who underwent lower limb amputation due to traumatic farming accidents in the Republic of Ireland. Findings: A constellation of patterns between participants’ identities and traumatic farm accident experiences emerged. All participants experienced robust identities despite adversity; however, some appeared to experience resilient identities whilst others were interpreted as experiencing posttraumatic growth identities. Similarities and differences in the sample are explored, posing clinical and research implications. Conclusions: The experiences of farmers with lower limb amputation(s) due to individual traumatic farming accidents yield a rich interplay of psychological phenomenon previously not explored. This study provides some insights into the psychosocial experience of this underresearched population. Further research is required.

“…Whereas the former process may be referred to as assimilative coping, the latter may be referred to as accommodative coping. Although the concepts of assimilation and accommodation have traditionally been introduced to describe adaptations between novel cognitive experiences and existing cognitive schemata (e.g., Piaget, 1977), they may be applied to the realm of emotion, motivation, and personality as well (Quirin & Kuhl, 2022; see also Hanfstingl et al, 2021). Here, in our extended ZM, they refer to the alignment of situational conditions in terms of perceived stimuli and contexts with one's need setpoints.…”

Personality researchers are increasingly interested in the dynamics of personality, that is, the proximal causal mechanisms underlying personality and behavior. Here, we review the Zurich Model of Social Motivation concerning its potential to explain central aspects of personality. It is a cybernetic model that provides a nomothetic structure of the causal relationships among needs for security, arousal, and power, and uses them to explain an individual's approach‐avoidance or “proximity‐distance” behavior. We review core features of the model and extend them by adding features based on recent behavioral and neuroscientific evidence. We close by discussing the model considering contemporary issues in personality science such as the dynamics of personality, five‐factor personality traits and states, and personality growth.

“…One way of understanding the impact of relationship history on current perceptions of support availability is through the concept of assimilation. Assimilation is when the interpretation of a new experience is processed through an existing schema (i.e., internal working model) of similar experiences (Hanfstingl et al, 2021). When attempting to understand new close relationships, individuals may draw upon their general sense of how close relationships usually work.…”

The effects of relationship history on social support perceived from friendships

Perceptions of social support availability may be influenced by internal working models, both of how support figures behave in general, and of how specific support figures behave individually. Participants were 217 first-year college students in the first semester of their involvement with an athletic team or Greek organization. They reported on the support they perceived to be available from three friends in those organizations at four time-points, over the course of 18 months. Regarding generalized working models, participants who had more supportive high school friends perceived more support available from their new college friends, even after controlling for their actual experiences with the college friends. Regarding friend-specific working models, friends who were perceived as more supportive at the beginning of the study were perceived as increasingly supportive over time, even after controlling for actual experiences with that friend. These findings illustrate the influence of relationship history on perceptions of social support. Feeling supported is not determined only by the responses of an individual’s support figures in times of need. Regular investment in relationships is important both for individuals who wish to feel supported and for support figures who wish to best help others.
