%PERVERSE ACADEMIC DEPENDENCY-2+790527
%ATTRACTIVE SCIENTISTS REAL STUDENTS 790527
People who develop a dependency for affirmations from
non-personally oriented others---find themselves in a
double-bind. Non-personal affirmations are not powerful
or meaningful. Even non-personally oriented people crave
personal affirmations. However, non-personally oriented
people do not respect personally oriented people who can
most personally affirm others---they are not non-
personally competent, they are not respected specialists
in non-personal disciplines. Thus non-personally oriented
people can not have their needs for personal affirmations
met by personally oriented people. In fact, they are
likely to feel threatened by personally oriented people
who fail to affirm with ultimate concern---their non-
personal collusions and so must be excommunicated.
Thus people who develop a dependency for affirmations
from non-personally oriented others---must turn only to
non-personally oriented others in search of affirmation.
But non-personally oriented others are very poor in making
personal affirmations---giving of themselves only rarely
and then rather weakly. Thus non-personally oriented
people learn to work for the deferred satisfaction of
relatively impersonal affirmations given grudgingly after
years of impersonal labor. This further promotes non-
personal specialization and the intensification of the
vicious cycle.
Personally oriented people can break the vicious
cycle only with great difficulty. If they wait until they
are mature, they are unlikely to gain enough technical
competency to merit the respect of the non-personal
specialists. If they seek technical competency during
their formative years, they are almost certain to get
caught in the vicious cycle which promotes perverse
academic dependency. Only rarely is a person successful
in gaining high levels of technical competency and gaining
formal recognition of their competency, while maintaining
a highly personal orientation which includes the ability
to see through the collusions of the non-personal
specialists. Such attractive scientists are among the few
who have a chance to help break the vicious cycle of
perverse academic dependency.
