#still face experiment

[sarahbobarasuzannah]

i always think about the bird test and the gottman institute’s research on bids for connection.

when i see a post about cats it takes everything in me not to send it to them anymore.

it feels like i’m a baby in the still face experiment too, and while they’re only in front of me in my imagination now, they’re unresponsive even there.

it feels like we’re looking at the same moon and connected somehow when i see we’ve liked the same tiktok or instagram post. the other day i was so neurotic and desperate to feel connected to them that i scrolled through reels and only watched videos i saw they liked. it’s almost like we’re watching a movie together then.

the bird test matters to me because i like experiencing life alongside a partner and getting confirmation that we’re seeing the world together. the same way we used to go on twitter during historical events. like yall seeing this???

i think this feeling is emphasized knowing i won’t have a community on tiktok to witness history with anymore either after this week.

i didn’t eat enough today and got crazy. i just ate a hoagie but i’m still waiting for the glucose to hot my brain so i’m still crazy.

i really haven’t caught up that this is my new reality yet. i miss having my person.

for reference this is the bird thing

Dads Try the Still Face Experiment

Watch these babies go from feeling safe and happy to stressed and upset. What caused the shift? The famous "Still Face" experiment developed by Dr. Ed Tronic...

The famous "Still Face" experiment developed by Dr. Ed Tronick, director of UMass Boston's Infant-Parent Mental Health Program, clearly shows how profoundly babies read and react to their social surroundings. Prolonged lack of attention can move a baby from good socialization to bad. For the first time ever, Project ABC and The Children's Institute Inc., of Los Angeles, replicated and filmed the experiment with fathers (rather than mothers) and their babies.  Dr. Richard Cohen, director of Project ABC at the Children's Institute, offers an insightful explanation of what's going on, and why babies need positive interaction. Here's what Dr. Tronick said about our video: "I have never seen a more beautiful visual capturing of the Still Face. It is unique because of its focus on Dads. Wonderful. Also, the narration is exactly right. It is clear and sharp and moving."

Donuk Yüz Deneyi Bir annenin duygusal boşluk hali kaşısında çocuğunun duyduğu üzüntü "Donuk Yüz Deneyi" ile desteklenmiştir. Bu deneyde anneden, bebeğine bakarken aniden yüzündeki tüm ifade ve hareketleri silmesi istenir. Çalışmada bebeklerin annelerinin ifadesizliğine karşı verdikleri tepkiler gözlemlenir. Deney sadece birkaç dakika sürer fakat "donuk yüz" durumunda bebeğin davranış kalıbı: Öncelikle annenin tepkisini ortaya çıkarmak için tekrarlanan çaba, sonra hüzünlü bir ifade, sonra anneden uzaklaşmaya yönelme ve sonunda geri çekilmektir. Tüm bunlar 3 dk'dan daha kısa süre içerisinde olur.

Face it - expressive and communicative is better. Mom may be modeling the difference, but Dads need to do the same.
