[edit]

This article would benefit from an overview of Eastern (Oriental) concepts of emotional security. How are they different from Western? Etc. Ark2120 (talk) 15:47, 19 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Monkey face

[edit]

How do we know the monkey face expresses sadness? It surely does look sad, but are there any sources that can somehow confirm that the monkey really is sad?? Lova Falk talk 14:24, 30 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No kidding.. should we not use a picture of a human face? as this article is generally deals with human emotion. -- œ 20:03, 5 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I suggest File:Men don't cry.jpg as a possible alternative. -- œ 20:08, 5 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The monkey looks pretty sad to me Dudanotak (talk) 15:12, 13 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This article isn't about sadness/cynicism/reclusiveness or any of its relatives that it seems to be obfuscating. Further cleaning up is necessary. Eyeofpie —Preceding undated comment added 00:22, 16 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Cites?

[edit]

The "meat" of the article is clearly well-written, but it woefully lacks citation. There is one in-line cite to Maslow, but not only does the rest lack any citation; there aren't even any identifiers that citations are needed.

Anyone who is an expert (at least relative to myself) have good citations to back up the information? 68.248.224.191 (talk) 14:00, 10 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, it does have a template stating "This article needs additional citations for verification", since November 2007! With this template it is not necessary to put minor tags inside the text. Probably those who have written the text have left and with them the information on sources. I guess sooner or later this article needs to be rewritten with fresh sources.

Abraham Maslow is not a good source -- his own Wikipedia page criticizes his lack of scientific rigor and outdated methodology. Most of all, his description of the 'insecure person' smells awful like victim shaming. Does Maslow suggest that social reformers and protesters are 'insecure' because they are unhappy with their current position and distrustful of the higher-ups? How about Native American tribes that want to be left alone? --are they 'insecure' because they prefer solitude and don't trust whites? With a little bit more insight we will see that the 'healthy' human is one who fully accepts the social hierarchy/environment he is fitted in.
