Dear readers,
From the ancient stoics to modern-day psychologists, the quest for control has been a perennial pursuit of humanity – one that resonates deeply within us as we contemplate its head-scratching significance in our own lives. Welcome to our final issue of the year – Spiegeloog 433: Control, where we invite you, our readers, to consider in what ways control plays a role in your lives.
Cover by Anushka Sabhanam
We kick things off with Lioba’s International Classroom piece, where she deep dives into the truth behind the dropout myth in the psychology programme, uncovering its roots by examining the numbers and speaking to faculty members. For the Athena column, Shriya debunks the myth of the famous marshmallow test – is it really a question of willpower, or is there more at play here? While time remains constant, our perception of it fluctuates. Viktor explores these influential factors such as arousal levels, attention, and emotions. In his piece, Vadim disentangles the discrepancy of male vulnerability in today’s day and age. From neighbourhood crime prevention groups to gendered dynamics of surveillance, Linda unveils the complexities of surveillance and safety. Evita and Hulya sit down with Roeland, lecturer of SSR and Social Psychology, to discuss topics ranging from teaching to his personal hobbies. For Art Affairs, Evita pays a visit to Stedelijk Museum, currently showcasing Marina Abramovic’s work over the years. Laura rounds off the issue with her Bacchus on relinquishing control over well-made plans and welcoming the unpredictable nature of life.
Enjoy the new issue!
