Social panorama laboratory experimentation
The basic hypothesis of the social panorama was formulated in the equation: relation equals location. For the members of the International Laboratory for Mental Space Research (www.ilmspr.com) the challenge was to conduct an experiment to test this concept. Under the title: “Relationships are Constructed from Generalized Unconscious Social Images Kept in Steady Locations in Mental Space”, in March 2016 a publication saw the light in the Journal of Experiential Psychotherapy, Vol. 19, no. 1 (73).
The same article was later published as Part 4, in the book Mental Space Psychology, under the Title: An Experiment with Love. This is a quantitative empirical approach with a heavy theoretical introduction.
Clinical experience provides detailed insights in how people create relationships in their mental space. Laboratory experiments supported most of this with statistically tested numerical data.
