Management Research: Games People Play - Collective Calls

Hello and welcome to my podcast, dear friends and guests,

Today, I continue with our mini-series on #psychological #games as postulated by Eric #Berne. In this #management #research #podcast episode, I briefly explain how to avoid psychological games, especially if there was an "official call" - the #game has been announced in front of a #team and you cannot individually avoid playing. 

I wish you all the best in your communication! Feel free to share your thoughts and ideas and let me know what you want to listen to in the next episodes!

Enjoy, share, subscribe, and comment - it does matter!

Management Research: Games People Play - Postitive Games

Hello and welcome dear friends

 

In this episode, we continue talking about #psychological #games as suggested by Eric #Berne. When analysing how people interact with each other, Eric Berne discovered that some games can be positive for both parties. In this episode, I provide you with an example of such a #game. Moreover, I briefly discuss whether one should engage in playing both #positive and #negative games. 

Enjoy, share, comment, and subscribe - it does matter, at least to me personally.

Management Research: Games People Play - NIGYSOB Game

Welcome, dear listeners, to the next episode of my #management #research #podcast!

Today, I present you another #psychological #game suggested by Eric #Berne in his book "Games People Play" - #NIGYSOB. This is an interesting game as I observe it in several #relationships in #business and #family. More about the game in this #episode.

 

Enjoy, #comment, #share, and #subscribe - how else can I know that you are interested?! ;)

Management Research: Games People Play - Kick Me Game

Hello dear listeners!

Today, I give you an #example of a #psychological #game called "Kick Me" in the book of Eric Berne. This game is about #victim #behaviour. It also explains why the #victim - #aggressor #relationships are relatively stable and even tend to get entrenched in people's behaviour and even become a lifestyle. If you know "victims" - those to whom something constantly happens and who say "Why is it always happening to me?!", you might be interested in this episode.

Good luck and don't forget to share this episode with people you value. Feel free to subscribe and comment to share your ideas and give me inspiration for the next episodes!

Management Research: Games People Play - Psychological Games

Welcome to the next episode in my mini-series dedicated to #psychological #games as suggested by worldwide known #psychoanalyst Eric #Berne. In this episode, I briefly explain game dynamics and provide an example of a (as to my experience) trendy psychological game played in the office. This game, as well as many other games, leads to the emotional exhaustion of one of the parties participating in this game, unfortunately. 

Listen to this episode to avoid this #trap and to understand in which situations your conversation is not a true conversation but just a collection of #psychological moves aiming at #suppression or evoking #anger.

Management Research: Games People Play - Congruent Modes of Relatioships

Hello, dear listeners!

I am happy to post the next episode in my mini-series on #psychologicalgames as suggested by Eric #Berne. In this #episode, we talk about the #congruent modes of relationships - those that do not cause conflicts. At the end, we also shortly address the two types of #incongruent #relationships - those that usually lead to #conflicts.

Feel free to share your observations in the comments section - I am eager to know whether the suggestions by Eric Berne hold for your observations. 

Good luck and don't forget to subscribe, share, and comment - it does matter!

Management Research: Games People Play - Egos States in the Theory of Eric Berne

Hello and welcome to my next episode in the mini-series dedicated to #psychological #games as postulated by Eric #Berne!

 

In this episode, I discuss the key element in this #theory - three #ego states. Berne argues that in any conversation it is not only person A is talking to person B but at a meta-level one of the ego states of person A communicates with the ego state of person B. Berne suggests three #egos - #Child-I, #Parent-I, and #Adult-I. Consequently, no matter what is being said, the #conversation can run between two children, two parents, two adults, or a parent and a child. 

This element is crucial to understanding why we sometimes end up with #conflicts or how #psychilogocialgames come to life. About these topics, I will talk in the next episode of my #podcast.

Management Research: Games People Play - Introduction to the Theory of Eric Berne

Hello and welcome, dear listeners!

Today, I start a new #podcast mini-series dedicated to the #transactional #analysis as postulated by @Eric Berne. His ideas may help you understand the issues in #communication and prevent #conflicts in your #team or even in your #privatelife.

In this episode, I briefly introduce the #scholar. In the next episode, we will talk about his #theory and how it can be observed in #humancommunication.

Wish you all the best! Don't forget to #subscribe, #comment, and #share this episode with your friends and #colleagues!

Research Methods: Measuring How People Think - Causal Mapping as a Positivist vs a Constructivist Tool

Hello dear friends

Today, I finalise my #podcast mini-series on #causalmapping - a method to measure how people think. In this #episode, I discuss the #positivism and #constructuvism. The episode is not about the #philosophy of #research but how this #methodology could be #published. I concluded that #causal #mapping may be a good fit for those who try to pursue the #mixedmethods approach. The reason is that causal mapping is easy to understand for both types of reviewers and might be your way out of the conflicts with #reviewers.

Good luck with your research!

Research Methods: Measuring How People Think - Analysing Data from a Causal Map

Hello and welcome!

 

Today, I discuss what to do with the #data you collected with a #causalmap. You will have many distances from each person to all others (like a #correlation table). In our #dataanalysis, we applied #clustering - we clustered people based on their #similarity regarding the #mental #models. Later, you can use this cluster variable as your #dependentvariable when you look at what #causes similarity between people. Or you can use the cluster variable as a predictor, i.e. look at the consequences for #like-minded people. If it is not fully clear from my talk (I was a bit too emotional about our #findings), feel free to read our #academic #paper!

Good luck with your investigations!
