Capítulo 709: Chapter 622: Everyone Really Wants to Move Things Forward

But as the host of the eting, Professor Ji still had to smooth things over and say so formal words: “Hmm… Old Wu seems to have found a new direction for work, planning to intervene in [Group Hysteria] after the disaster relief is over. Hmm… it’s quite unfortunate, if his original plan could have been implented well, it could have helped with our subsequent work.”

“Our work cannot be delayed like Old Wu’s, so we need to resolve current issues promptly. Let’s discuss the upcoming work… Hmm, what’s wrong with you all?”

With only Professor Wu gone, Professor Ji did not think much, only thinking of stabilizing the remaining three project teams.

But at this mont, in his sight, all the professors’ faces showed that strange, indescribable expression again.

An ominous premonition surfaced in his heart.

…

Wu Wenbin’s grievances felt like a needle poking through the balloon that was being maintained with effort.

Sothing seed to erge faintly.

“Now the problem… is really difficult to solve. Old Ji, I’ll be honest with you.”

Professor Sun took a deep breath, and his tone finally carried a trace of helplessness and a bittersweet smile: “Teacher Wu hit the mark. I admit, our group has encountered unforeseen resistance in cognitive behavior intervention.”

Looking at Professor Ji’s stiff eyes, Professor Sun slowly said: “The ‘Automated Negative Thought Record Sheet’ I designed was intended to guide them through cost-benefit analysis, like thinking about the emotional cost of ‘believing in Dragon King’s punishnt,’ and considering alternate interpretations like ‘stress response’ for potential relief. It’s about testing the truth of irrational beliefs and developing more adaptive thinking patterns.”

“But in reality…” Professor Sun shook his head, “the villagers are not interested in this abstract logical frawork. Their cultural level… is not very high.”

Professor Sun said, his expression becoming increasingly entangled: “Actually, it’s not just the elderly, there are many middle-aged people here who only have elentary education credentials. One person asked ‘does it an if I think the Dragon King gives more scales, they’ll really grow?’… I didn’t know how to answer such a question for a mont, that person almost thought I believed in the Dragon King like him.”

Professor Ji fell into silence.

Dealing with cognitive-oriented factions, there are basic requirents for the language comprehension ability and logical ability of the subjects being intervened with.

Faced with the current situation… it might indeed be quite tricky.

Professor Ji was silent for a mont.

However, this wasn’t the end.

After hearing Professor Sun’s complaints, Professor Wang seed to have been empathized and began to spill his own grievances: “Humanism’s [Empathy] and [Listening], the original intention is good, hoping to provide unconditional positive attention, create a safe space for their suppressed emotions to be vented, and spontaneously find inner strength.”

“Initially… they indeed started speaking up, which matched our expectations. But issues also followed—the lack of structural guidance made their narrative easily fall into repeated descriptions and comparisons of symptom details… .”

“Later, so elderly people started describing the texture of ‘Dragon Scales,’ the rhythm of ‘ribbons’ winding around, even exchanging ‘experiences’ with each other.”

“An old lady even held my hand, telling ‘I feel that this Dragon Scale, when the sun shines on it, it becos spirited, is it like a real dragon?’…”

Professor Wang rubbed his brow with a headache: “I feel that my work might have unintentionally… reinforced their focus on and recognition of symptoms, seemingly encouraging their ‘creative enthusiasm,’ deviating from the direction of problem-solving.”

[Humanism] is a faction that inspires an individual’s internal power, helping the individual achieve their ideal state.

But now it seems… the ideal state of these villagers is quite skewed.

Professor Ji’s face tightened again.

He turned his head, finding that Professor Li, who was hoped to do [Physiological Psychology], also had an unusual expression.

“Teacher Li, are you also facing…?”

Professor Li pursed his lips, his expression was much more succinct: “So elderly people believe my equipnt is ‘magic artifacts,’ and so think my equipnt absorbs ‘yang energy’ when attached to the body…”

Upon hearing this, Professor Ji was about to speak, intending to offer so comfort.

Professor Sun added a comnt on the side: “Old Li had observing when he was doing data, he almost got hit. Fortunately, his group had more male students, who ran fast.”

Professor Ji fell into silence.

…

Bai Qinghua wasn’t present, nor was he involved, leaving these four groups to constitute the entire strength of the psychological intervention team.

Now all four groups have t with failure, with one even withdrawing directly, which caught Professor Ji off guard.

After all, those who ca to disaster-stricken areas for psychological aid projects are characters with considerable standing in the industry; their research articles are many, three to fifty simultaneously at least.

Confronting so many challenges doesn’t an their ability is insufficient, it’s really the constraints of objective factors—

—In psychological experints, selecting subjects is crucial. Most papers have a “normal cognitive function” requirent when screening subjects.

In other words, in the majority of psychological foundation research experints, the subjects faced are normal people—except for certain special projects.

Even for “normal” projects, gathering data might require an enormous amount of ti.

Coincidentally, the current [Group Hysteria] is not just a special project, but the tiline is tight, and it’s a situation most professors have never encountered.

Professor Ji initially intended to integrate these people’s work outcos to better handle the work on [Group Hysteria]…

…Wait a mont.

Professor Ji realized sothing wasn’t right.

He tentatively asked: “You all ntioned many issues. So, do you have any predictions for solving these issues?”

“Or, do you want to apply… to switch to a different project like Teacher Wu?”

The attendees were all heads within the psychology industry, which ans none of them have low emotional intelligence—even if there is, they can use intelligence to absorb specific domain knowledge to make up.

At the beginning they presented optimistic results, seemingly to preserve their dignity; after Old Wu angrily left, started venting grievances.

Is it really just because people can’t stick it out anymore, and they turned this into a grievance session?

—Alright, perhaps partially they want to vent emotions opportunistically, but that’s definitely not the main purpose.

At least Professor Ji believes, the relationship between himself and these people definitely isn’t one where he’s a grievance listener through “chats.”

Indeed.

After hearing Professor Ji’s question, the professors exchanged glances.

As usual, it was Professor Sun, who collaborated most frequently with Professor Ji, who spoke first: “Old Ji, your words—Old Wu’s work can be postponed, but we must conduct ours during the disaster relief process to obtain data.”

Professor Wang, who worked on [Humanism], also nodded: “If left unattended, we might miss the golden intervention ti for the disaster victims, this cannot be delayed.”

Professor Sun followed: “Our current main issue is communication with those subjects… If I rember correctly, Teacher Bai’s group is skilled at it, right?”

Professor Ji’s face froze.

Why these people attended this eting with him, why their faces had those strange expressions—he now truly understood.

“Teacher Bai and Weng Pinting are arranging organizational structure, aren’t they? But seeing you’ve joined us here, it seems they are finishing up, right? Their group’s Nan Zhubin, although young, seems quite competent as well.” Professor Li, who works on [Physiological Psychology], was concise and hit the core of the issue, “We want to invite them over, so regarding… work, so adjustnts are needed.”

Who needs adjustnts?

Professor Ji couldn’t help but say: “You’re ntioning Bai Qinghua and Weng Pinting, but you’re eyeing Nan Zhubin as well…?”

The three professors remained silent, only looking at Professor Ji.
