ysabetwordsmithHere are the notes for "Everything Is Temporary."
Bowen Meliton -- He has fair skin, blue eyes, and long wavy blond hair that bleaches lighter in the sun. He has a short scruff of mustache and beard. He is tall and slim with broad shoulders. He is panromantic pansexual. His heritage includes American, French, Greek, and Scandinavian. He speaks English, French, and Spanish. He is 22 years old in 2023.
Bowen grew up in Santa Barbara, California where he enjoyed a wide variety of beach crafts and water sports. He has high emotional intelligence and existential intelligence. He favors casual menswear, often in light shades of gray, khaki, white, and denim.
As a young teen, his soulmark came in with a yellow rose and the Words, Everything is temporary. This inspired Bowen to study permanence and relationships. He earned a Bachelor of Science in Marriage & Family Studies with a double minor in Psychology and in Big Issues at the Brigham Young University in South Rexburg, Idaho. He just finished that and moved back to California in the summer of 2023. Bowen is slated to begin working on a Master's Degree in Social Psychology with a minor in Diversity Science at the University of California-Los Angeles. He plans to do his dissertation on establishing permanence and security in long-term relationsihps.
During the summer, Bowen meets his soulmate. Jacinto Mosley is an odd-jobber with little attachment to anyone or anywhere. His soulmark from Bowen is a hyacinth on the outside of his right calf, with one Word on the inside,
Uprooted. Jacinto is hesitant to attempt anything long-term, but Bowen rightly points out that the soulmark is a strong endorsement to give it a try.

Information about the Social Psychology Graduate Major
at the University of California-Los Angeles
The graduate program in Social Psychology features a distinguished faculty and numerous research opportunities in laboratory and field settings within a culturally diverse and multifaceted metropolitan area. Our faculty areas of expertise are broad and center on basic research on close relationships, intergroup relations, and social cognitive neuroscience. In addition, faculty interests include political psychology, positive psychology, sport psychology, stress and coping, and issues pertaining to culture, ethnicity, gender, and evolutionary psychology. A long tradition of interest in social problems and the applicability of rigorous, theory-driven research to addressing such issues is a distinctive feature of our program.
Familiarity with social psychology is gained through a two-quarter course sequence during the first year of graduate work, and followed by seminars in close relationships, intergroup relations, and social cognition. Students concentrate on a single research project in the first and second years (Psych 251) culminating with the receipt of the Master’s degree. As training progresses thereafter, social psychology students typically work with several faculty members to develop an increasing focus on their own particular topics in research, and expertise in the associated methods.
Methodological and statistical training covers experimental design and procedures, survey and field research methods, and univariate and multivariate techniques including use of structural equation modeling and hierarchical linear modeling. Social psychology students typically minor in measurement, health psychology, or political psychology, but may select from a variety of departmental minors.
Most social psychology faculty members run weekly small lab meetings with graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and visiting professors in which important training experience is gained above and beyond individual research supervision and coursework. Seminars and biweekly colloquia presentations by distinguished visiting speakers, students, and faculty are also offered and round out the course of studies.
UCLA’s Psychology Department has also developed leading programs in health and political psychology that are well integrated with the social psychology program. Along with the regular social faculty in the Psychology Department, the social program has a number of social psychology faculty affiliates who are faculty members in other departments and schools. The social program also maintains close connections with the Institute for Social Science Research, the International Center for Talent Development, and UCLA’s Schools of Education, Medicine, Public Health, Nursing, and Management, and the UCLA Center for Behavior, Evolution and Culture. These connections foster interaction with faculty and students in other disciplines (e.g. Anthropology, Communications, Political Science, Psychiatry, and Sociology), and enable students to incorporate interdisciplinary study in a wide range of social and health sciences into their graduate education in social psychology.

SOCIAL AREA COMPREHENSIVE EXAMINATION (C-EXAM) EQUIREMENTS
In general, the C-paper should be modeled on papers published in Psychological Bulletin, Psychological Review, and/or the Personality and Social Psychology Review. The C-paper is typically the literature review for a student’s dissertation. Its length will depend on the nature of the topic but in general will exceed 30 double-spaced pages. The C-paper is evaluated by two faculty readers (typically individuals who will serve on the student’s dissertation committee). At least one reviewer must be a member of the social psychology area. Readers outside the area must be approved by the area chair.
The student initially writes a short proposal describing the topic and scope of the C-paper. This is reviewed and approved by the two faculty readers. The C-paper must be written and approved at least four weeks prior to Preliminary Orals. This
timeframe gives sufficient time for required paperwork to be sent by the Graduate Advising Supervisor to Graduate Division, which must approve the dissertation committee.

Jacinto Mosley -- He has light brown skin, black eyes, and long brown hair in dreadlocks with a short mustache and beard. He is petite with wiry muscles. He is homosexual. His heritage includes American, African, Hispanic, and a little Native American. He speaks English and Spanish. He is 22 years old in 2023.
Jacinto is American by birth, but born to migrant workers. He grew up traveling all over the West Coast, never staying anywhere for long. The hyacinth soulmark reading, Uprooted didn't help. As a teen, Jacinto wound up in foster care for several years. At 17, he ran away. He has been working odd jobs ever since then. He loves working on old cars, motorcycles, and bicycles; and restoring antiques such as radios or televisions. His Mobile Repair Unit packs onto his bicycle for seaside work. He favors casual menswear, often a thematic T-shirt over jeans.
Finally Jacinto meets his soulmate, Bowen Meliton, who specializes in permanence and relationships. Bowen's soulmark from Jacinto has a yellow rose and the Words, Everything is temporary. Jacinto is hesitant to attempt anything long-term, but Bowen rightly points out that the soulmark is a strong endorsement to give it a try.

Human bonding is a complex process that can develop through multiple modalities such as intimate conversation, food sharing, and sex. This leads to relationship permanence and emotional permanence, which then convey relational resilience in the face of hardships. Permanence is especially crucial for survivors of foster care. Explore some ways to facilitate bonding, promote permanence, and build resilient relationships.
Bowen Meliton -- He has fair skin, blue eyes, and long wavy blond hair that bleaches lighter in the sun. He has a short scruff of mustache and beard. He is tall and slim with broad shoulders. He is panromantic pansexual. His heritage includes American, French, Greek, and Scandinavian. He speaks English, French, and Spanish. He is 22 years old in 2023.

Date: 2023-07-21 09:13 pm (UTC)2) It depends on one's approach to the material. I'm not sure what Bowen's connection is, but I suspect he's tangential rather than a devout member. But he's captivated by ideas of permanence and eternity, so he's looking at everything he can get his hands on. That was the university with the degree program that best fit his interests. What he thinks about that approach hasn't come up yet. My bet is he knows enough about comparative religions / philosophies / psychologies to pick out useful bits and ignore the crud.
3) Don't forget the iterative factor. Religions or subcultures can vary considerably from one dimension to another. Throw in any major aspect like soulmarks and it can have a huge impact on interpretation. So, Mormons are really into permanence and polyfamilies. I suspect that, in this setting, they got a lot of that impetus from soulmarks and that's going to change some of the idealogy. They were probably among the major backers for social acceptance of multiple bonds.
