Q

How do Christopher Hudspeth’s 18 Ugly Truths and contrast the behaviors described in them with the communication skills predictive of happiness identified in Maata’s & Uusiautti’s research

A

Maata and Uusiautto’s research found that happiness in a relationship often come from good communication skills, such as talking about each other’s day and feelings, discussing the way problems will be solved, how to act towards each other, doing things that remind the couple of old times, and spending time together in meaningful ways. This contrasts to Hudspeth’s 18 Ugly Truths in that Hudspeth claims that in modern relationships, there is very little communication, little caring for the other person, poor communication strategies, little to no planning, no investment in the relationship, no sharing of feelings, and little togetherness.

Why does Innes advocate for developing a self-authored mind particularly around the topic of membership in populations that represent diversity/minority/marginalization?

A

Robert Kegan (1994) defined a self-authorized mind as having the ability to rise above the boundaries between groups of people and objectively compare and contrast the worldviews of each culture.
