Sociotrophy
editSociotrophy is a personality style that is characterized by a person often worrying about interpersonal relationships. Doctors most commonly research how sociotrophy is related to depression.[1] Sociotrophy has a strong relationship with attachment styles and depression symptoms.The most common style of attachment related to sociotrophy is the preoccupied style. People with sociotrophy often show many signs of depression. Doctors base their treatment for sociotrophy off of the seriousness of the sociotrophy and the patient's form of attachment. Doctors do this because there is often a strong connection between depression, attachment style, and personality dimension.[2]. Many women with eating disorders also show characteristics that are often related to sociotrophy. Woman with eating disorders show more signs of being sociotropic than women without eating disorders. When a women experiences sociotrophy they are unable to express their emotions about their relationships. Many researchers believe that is why women turn to eating disorders, they think that if they change their body appearance everything will be better.[1]
Annotated Bibliography Section
edit- The article seems reliable. It was supported by the psychology department at Abilene Christian University. That seems logical being that I am working on a psychology article. The article also clearly lists the authors. The study that was conducted didn't take place over a short period of time. It was an on going experiment for fifteen years. The article also clearly states all of their sources. The only down to the article is that it was published eight years ago.[3]
- This article was also produced by a university. This one was produced by Duke. The Duke University Medical Center also helped create the article. I think that is important because the article relates sociotropy to eating disorders. Eating disorders are often treated by medical professionals.The article was printed in a psychology journal. It also has a list of references.The article is pretty easy to follow and has a lot of great examples. The only problem could be that the articles is from 2000.[1]
- The article is about a group of undergraduate students who have different attachment styles. The different attachment styles are then related to socoitropy and autonomy. The article is form the International Journal of Psychology. It is also pretty easy to understand. There are alot of examples and discussion sections that are very helpful. There are also a list of references. This article is also the most recent, it is from 2009.[2]
