Unmitigated communion
[1] Bakan (1996) had never explicitly pinpointed the construct of unmitigated communion, which was developed by other psychologists such as Vicki S. Helgeson and Heidi L.
[1] A study from Carnegie Mellon University shows that there are four main causes of unmitigated communion behaviour which includes the way a person was raised, modelling of a family member especially mother, lack of self-esteem as well as genetics.
[1] However, the most accurate and possible cause for unmitigated communion is the combination of genetics, which might be inherited from parents, and socialisation, where the environment and surroundings affect the way a person behaves.
[1] For instance, poor and unsupportive family surroundings and social environment would lead to high unmitigated communion behaviour.
[4] In addition, an individual with strong unmitigated communion would tend to feel more stressful events eventuates[clarification needed].
[1] In addition, according to a study of college students and adults, unmitigated communion is associated with self-reports of interpersonal problems such as intrusive, overly nurturant, as well as self-sacrificing.
[1] An imbalanced relationship is a situation where individuals with high unmitigated communion would feel uncomfortable receiving support from others.
[1] However, individuals who scored high on unmitigated communion would be more likely to help others in order to improve their self worth in front of others[1] Individuals with high unmitigated communion are correlated with self-neglect indicators, which include being exploitable, difficulties in declaring one's needs, and hindering self-effacement from keeping away from conflict with others.
[8] It is believed that the mixture of both externalised self-evaluation and the belief of negative opinion from others would lead to low self-esteem as well as subsequent depressive symptoms.
The negative thinking and views of females would also lead to lower self confidence, hence this triggers higher unmitigated communion.
[1] A study also reported that one of the main reason the high level of unmitigated communion would be negative-self view.
[1] This eventuates as individuals with high unmitigated communion would tend to involve in as well as take care of others' problem, they would be more likely to gain exposure toward a particular stressful moment or event.
[1] Additionally, a study from Carnegie Mellon University showed that unmitigated communion is affected by events of other people.
[1] For example, when a friend or family are in a trouble people with high unmitigated communion are very likely to think repeatedly and focus on their problem which in turn could lead people with unmitigated communion to feel guilty for not helping them as they always think that it is their responsibility to help their family or friend.
[citation needed] Therefore, an individual with high unmitigated communion would tend to be vulnerable toward a situation specific distress that would result from the existence of other people's problem.
[1] Therefore, when they are not able to meet the others' need and problem is not solved, a person with high unmitigated communion would tend to suffer from variety of illnesses such as heart disease or diabetes.
[3] During adolescence, individuals with high unmitigated communion would tend to have overly other-focused behaviour; thus self-image from other people's perspective is tremendously essential.
[3] As people with high unmitigated communion overly focus on others and how others view them, hence when they do not meet the criteria of being fit and skinny from the perspective of the peers, this would trigger bulimic symptoms such as feeling insecure of own body.
In order to understand the consequence of unmitigated communion in negotiation, two conflict situations which includes distributive and integrative should be distinguished.
