Abstract:

Introduction: Although fear of darkness is most common in childhood, it is also a remarkable phenomenon in young adulthood. Aim: To examine the relationship between fear of darkness, early maladaptive schemas and attachment quality in young adults and assess fear related sex differences. Method: A self-developed scale was used to measure fear of darkness’ intensity and frequency. Young Schema Questionnaire – Short Form and two scales that measure attachment dimensions were also applied. 120 university students (68 women, 52 men) filled in the tests. Results: Fear of darkness’ frequency correla

Abstract:

The emotional sphere is significant for the mental and social development of preschool children. We consider the main causes of children’s fears; the role of parents in their appearance and consolidation. We analyze the features of actual fears in preschool children with mental retardation and normative development. The empirical study (the ascertaining stage) was performed on a sample of 31 subjects (6–7 years old) using diagnostic tools such as: technique of “Choosing the Most Terrible Picture” (T. V. Lavrentiev), test “Fears in Houses” (modified by M.A. Panfilova), projective method “My Fam

Abstract:

Many students of human relations in South Africa would probably agree that an understanding of the policy of racial separation and the general determination of whites not to yield power to the black majority necessitates an awareness of their fears. The importance of this factor can hardly be overlooked, especially if it is defined broadly along the lines suggested by Philip Mason in his succinct study of racial tensions around the globe: There are fears of all kinds… There is the vague and simple fear of something strange and unknown, there is the very intelligible fear of unemployment, and t

Abstract:

Fear of darkness is a common psychological problem that may extent to a specific phobia if it is not treated well. Several intervention techniques related to fear and phobia using actual exposure therapy have been studied for decades, however, there were some constraints emerged when the therapist provides a real environment to overcome the patient's reaction to his/her specific fear. Virtual reality (VR) technology is an innovative tool providing a more immersive, secure, personal, and controlled virtual environment. Therefore, we developed a novel framework for treating the fear of darkn

Abstract:

This article underlines the expressions of fear in Sofia Samatar’s flash fiction entitled The Huntress. The fear felt by the townspeople was thick, the darkness and silence merged. The moon was shining, everyone had their windows shut tight, and a brave man had come to visit the town. The silence is in line with a frightening situation in the story of The Huntress by Sofia Samatar. This paper would like to answer the question of how may fear be accentuated in Sofia's Samatar's The Huntress?

Abstract:

“Heart of Darkness” is a crucial work in the development of modem literature, as it establishes the main theme of twentieth-century writing: fear and disillusion about the western man’s place in the world and the values by which he lives. Joseph Conrad witnessed the violence and hypocrisy of colonizing culture travelling up the Congo and revealed his experience in his novel what he calls the “Heart of Darkness”, the book is an authentic material. The setting of Conrad's “Heart of Darkness” is extremely essential to the story. The setting affects the mood, the characterization and the plot deve

Abstract:

The article discusses the features of modeling artistic space in novel The Time Machine, by H. G. Wells through a complex system of concepts top, bottom, fear, darkness, light. The constant interaction of these concepts leads to increased permeability of their boundaries, to a continuous exchange of conceptual features. The artistic space in the novel by H. G. Wells has a pronounced vertical character. We have identified the universal axis of top-bottom concepts in the artistic space and analyzed it. Movement along the vertical axis of the up and down concepts is carried out throughout the nov

This paper is a description of the research and processes that have culminated in the graduating master's thesis exhibition Dwall. This body of work consists of large-scale drawing and printmaking gallery installations that explore culture as well as darkness and fear, narrative and nature. These pieces have a surreal, illustrative and darkly whimsical quality highly influenced by artists like Kiki Smith, Collette Urban, Jim Holyoak, Albrecht Dürer, Swoon, Damien Hirst and Anselm Kiefer. This supporting paper will place the work in the contemporary and historical context of these artists, and

Abstract:

Nearly everyone can relate, I suspect, to the feeling of being “scared of the dark.” It is no doubt for this reason that dark-ness saturates the horror genre, from the earliest examples of gothic novels and graveyard poetry, to the most recent films, comics, and video games. We do not know what it is that dwells in the darkness, only that our not-knowing is a source of fear. Darkness seems to steadily creep forth, submerging everything in an anonymous, pitch blackness. Our fear of the dark seems as ambiguous as darkness itself. This ambiguity is at once horrific, and yet, because of its ambiguity, it also ob-tains the quality of the mystical. Georges Bataille, writing about religious art, highlights this ambiguity: “What I sudden-ly saw, and what imprisoned me in anguish—but which at the same time delivered me from it—was the identity of these perfect contraries, divine ecstasy and its opposite, extreme horror.” The concept of darkness evokes this combination of religion and horror; it is the shift from the horror of something inthe dark, to the horror of darkness itself. Put simply, the concept of darkness invites us to think about this basic metaphys-ical dilemma of a nothing that is a something . . .

Abstract:

Chapter 4 turns to the reasons why people may hide their political beliefs by looking at the reasons for CWG’s secrecy. This chapter addresses the sociological components of fear—including power and social and economic interdependence—that were at play in the women’s decision to keep their politics a secret. It outlines three types of fear in response to partisan hostility: social, economic, and physical. It recounts the women’s stories of actual retaliation within these categories, as well as the role of personal narrative in fueling fear and building camaraderie. This chapter provides evidence that intensifying polarization has made political identity a source of not only social persecution, but of economic and physical persecution as well.
