“What psychological research had been discovered about
why people can be independent?”
Well, independence is a subjective term and I imagine
it’s quite difficult to research. What I consider to be independent may not be
the same for you, or different situations may encourage people to behave
differently. Humans are also horrible at judging themselves.
From the top of my head, there’s been studies into
‘Locus of Control’ which is how much personal control you believe to have in a
situation. You can either have internal (You take full responsibility/control
for your behaviour and actions) or external (You don’t take responsibility and
believe other people control actions or behaviour in your life, or that it was
all luck).
or Erikson devised life stages in which we all
progress through in our own time. During each stage we have to ‘resolve’ the
current conflict.
Eg; The adolescence stage deals with Identity Vs Confusion.
Independence could form here as you could experience the complexity of life and
would learn about different types of perception (sensory, logical and
aesthetic).
Have a look on [scholar.google.co.uk] and search the
term autonomy/autonomous as well.
