Rigidity
This topic has some potential to being really good. It needs more sources and more of a deep dive into the sources that are currently here to help give more a body to the article and flesh it out as a whole for the reader. Strengthatheart (talk) 21:52, 22 January 2020 (UTC)

What is presently available in this article is a great beginning to starting a presentation on the subject of Rigidity (psychology). However, there is much needed to complete it. Below are some suggestions which I would like to present to other Wikipedia editors for consideration:
 * 1. Consider including as a side comment the antonym of rigidity (psychology) in the beginning of the article.
 * 2. The article will require a great many more references if it is going to be acceptable.
 * 3. Rigidity (psychology) is only discussed from a cognitive psychology perspective. Sections addressing how the other branches of psychology (behavioral, social, biopsych, etc.) would be informative.
 * 4. Compare and contrast the researched causes and results of rigidity from both a Greek related and a Hebrew related perspective of philosophy. These are very relevant issues to determining how people from different cultures and centuries viewed and understood what it means to be a human being and how one defined the experience and meaning of life itself as relating to psychology and rigidity (psychology).

Thank you for your considerations. SamDancingInRain (talk) 20:46, 25 January 2020 (UTC)

I just added a few more links to different Wikipedia articles in the first paragraph (specifically: Gestalt psychology and mental inertia). — Preceding unsigned comment added by SamDancingInRain (talk • contribs) 21:58, 29 January 2020 (UTC)


 * I don't think there would be a need to have a whole section on cognitive flexibility (the antonym you mentioned in #1) as you suggested, just because there's a whole Wikipedia page about it. But I'm working on it in my sandbox and brought it up in the section on mental sets. Also, what were you thinking could be said about it in the other branches (#3)? Would talking about associated conditions (psychiatry, I guess) and strategies for overcoming it (CBT, I guess?) be a good beginning? It would also be interesting to have a part about its origin (perhaps the American view relates back to Greek psychology) and other cultural perspectives (as you described in your point #4). --Susanna Neal (talk) 21:40, 11 March 2020 (UTC)

Rigidity (psychology) sandbox
I am working on a bunch of additions to this article in the sandbox for it! I am doing it for a class, and it automatically created a sandbox separate from my personal one for the articles I signed up for. I don't know how it can be accessed on anyone else's end, so if you have trouble finding it, let me know, and I can put it in my main sandbox.

But I am currently planning on adding things such as traits, associated conditions, strategies for overcoming it, and cultural variations on this view. Thank you in advance for checking my work and adding to it! --Susanna Neal (talk) 21:40, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
