“…Because mobility empowers people to choose satisfying connections, it contributes to conditional identification that can undermine collective solidarity and community participation (Oishi, Ishii, & Lun, ), particularly when it requires people to shoulder necessary, but potentially burdensome responsibilities and obligations. Moreover, greater mobility does not necessarily translate into psychological well‐being; people in regions of the United States characterized by high spatial mobility have better access to resources such as healthcare and fresh food, but they do not report greater life satisfaction (Keefer, Stewart, Palitsky, & Sullivan, ).…”

In this article, we approach the relationship between neoliberalism and psychological science from the theoretical perspective of cultural psychology. In the first section, we trace how engagement with neoliberal systems results in characteristic tendencies-including a radical abstraction of self from social and material context, an entrepreneurial understanding of self as an ongoing development project, an imperative for personal growth and fulfillment, and an emphasis on affect management for self-regulation-that increasingly constitute the knowledge base of mainstream psychological science. However, as we consider in the second section, psychological science is not just an observer of neoliberalism and its impact on psychological experience. Instead, by studying psychological processes independent of cultural-ecological or historical context and by championing individual growth and affective regulation as the key to optimal well-being, psychological scientists reproduce and reinforce the influence and authority of neoliberal systems. Rather than a disinterested bystander, hegemonic forms of psychological science are thoroughly implicated in the neoliberal project.

“…The objective of this paper is to introduce this concept and demonstrate its usefulness not only to time and temporality scholarship (Cipriani, 2013;Deeds Ermarth, 2010;Keefer et al, 2017;Moran, 2015) but also to the fields of intelligence and counterintelligence studies (Chang and Tetlock, 2016;Clark, 2016;Heuer, 1999), strategic management (Gavetti and Menon, 2016;Kunisch et al, 2017;Thietart, 2016), futures studies (Aligica, 2003;Bergman et al, 2010;Tuomi, 2012), military theory (Angstrom and Wide´n, 2015;Milevski, 2014;Thornton, 2007), and longrange planning (Peter and Jarratt, 2015; Rao, 2011). The remaining of the paper will show that the new concept can aid the development of strategy and of specific competitive tactics by exposing the known unknown of the situation (cf.…”

Iterative lagged asymmetric responses in strategic management and long-range planning

Actors in competitive environments are bound to decide and act under conditions of uncertainty because they rarely have accurate foreknowledge of how their opponents will respond and when they will respond. Just as a competitor makes a move to improve their standing on a given variable relative to a target competitor, she should expect the latter to counteract with an iterative lagged asymmetric response, that is, with a sequence of countermoves ( iteration) that is very different in kind from its trigger ( asymmetry) and that will be launched at some unknown point in the future ( time lag). The paper explicates the broad relevance of the newly proposed concept of “iterative lagged asymmetric responses” to the social study of temporality and to fields as diverse as intelligence and counterintelligence studies, strategic management, futures studies, military theory, and long-range planning. By bringing out in the foreground and substantiating the observation that competitive environments place a strategic premium on surprise, the concept of iterative lagged asymmetric responses makes a contribution to the never-ending and many-pronged debate about the extent to which the future can be predicted.

“…Time and space tend to be experienced as interrelated across different societies and cultures (Keefer, Stewart, Palitsky, & Sullivan, 2017). Time, that most abstract of mental phenomena does not possess its own referential system-unlike space which is based on the interaction with the environment.…”

It takes me back: The mnemonic time-travel effect

et al. 2019

Given the links between motion and temporal thinking, it is surprising that no studies have examined the possibility that transporting participants back mentally towards the time of encoding could improve memory. Six experiments investigated whether backward motion would promote recall relative to forward motion or no-motion conditions. Participants saw a video of a staged crime (Experiments 1, 3 and 5), a word list (Experiments 2 and 4) or a set of pictures (Experiment 6). Then, they walked forward or backwards (Experiments 1 and 2), watched a forward-or backward-directed optic flow-inducing video (Experiments 3 and 4) or imagined walking forward or backwards (Experiments 5 and 6). Finally, they answered questions about the video or recalled words or pictures. The results demonstrated for the first time that motion-induced past-directed mental time travel improved mnemonic performance for different types of information. We briefly discuss theoretical and practical implications of this "mnemonic time-travel effect".
