Answer
Silence is the usual end of any explicit discussion of sexuality. No one can explain the anomalies and contradictions in our beliefs. Nor why the research done on sexual response has been ignored. Any research that indicates that women do not respond sexually as men desire is ignored. There is too much money to be made out of promoting the opposite.

I have a question. I made a comparison between women and men on a series of attitudes concerning romantic relationships. Significant differences were found in a line of T-tests, but I also wanted to say something about the great similarity between the two groups in relation to many issues such as recovery time from separation, responsibility for keeping in touch, and more.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the places where similarity is found, or no difference is found between women and men, is an important finding no less than significant results in a t-test for differences
Now here is the question
What measure of similarity between groups do we have? Is there is a procedure in SPSS that can give an idea of the extent of similarity
Or should I assume that everything that has no difference has similarity? And how do you claim it?

Both ethically and sustainably, joining the LGBTQAA+ community as an aromantic is better than membership as either Men Go Their Own Way(mgtow) and or involuntary celibacy ( incels). Particularly, because both the mgtow and incel movements tend to unjustly blame women for male struggles to obtain romantic companionship. Also because the category of incel only implies self-pity due to the concept being too faulty. No one knows for sure whether or not he, she, or any other pronoun are involuntarily celibate because too many potential partners exist. Thus, the term Incel should be renamed discouraged into celibacy or DECEL for short.

At least, by and large, incel cisgender males blame the opposite sex(cisgender females) for romantic hardships. While aromantic cisgender males,much more respectfully, abandon the entire concept of romance without blaming anyone. Incel philosophy is excessive cynicism.

The hype over female orgasm is so extreme that all logic are lost. The sex toy companies have capitalised on this confusion and ignorance. But they never say that their products give anyone an orgasm. Neither do men use them for orgasm. Men know that once mental arousal is achieved (they have an erection) applying the required stimulation is relatively trivial. But women are believed to have orgasms without ever being mentally aroused. Women themselves assume that romantic factors cause orgasm.
Relevant answer
Answer
Don't worry - sex toys have been overhyped by companies selling these products. They have nothing to do with orgasm or even eroticism. Some couples find that they add variety to their sex lives over the longer term.

Unlike the romantic attempts to be one with the world through imagination, modernist writers argue that one should abandon this independence of the ego and attempt to look at the world objectively. However, some poets like William Carlos Williams (in his early poetry) presented a kind of romanticism that could be thought of as being in reverse; a poet who tries to be one with nature through self-suppression rather than through imagination.
Relevant answer
Answer
Romanticism considered man as an emotional creature. Here the emphasis was placed not only on the emotion, but on the emotional process and its nuances, and the formula of the feeling was given. Meanwhile, modernism defined man as self-reflecting creature.

Mario Praz in his The Romantic Agony (1956) suggests that there is "no opposite pole to 'romantic'" which imlplies that romanticism could be understood as a set of ideals or a style that could emerge as a climax or a revolution, thus it is always in progression and could emerge at any time as a culmination of the intellectual process.
Relevant answer
Answer
A good question that requires an answer too complex for a statement such as mine. I think that basic "Romanticist" ideas and practices (they should be kept separate) evolved from the great democratic revolutions of 1776 and 1789, and also, in part, from the ideas of Rousseau who gave us ideas about the basic "goodness" of "Nature." These ideas persist, often sentimentalized, into the present day. They celebrate the pleasantries of benign natural landscapes and the individual self as a powerful self-expressive source. They counter religious Medievalism, even some of its Protestant variations, even as this Medievalism survives the revolutions, into present days. Romanticism also alleges "freedom of expression," even though its strongest representatives, Byron, Shelley, Keats and others, wrote traditional forms such as sonnets. So Romanticism and "neo-classical" formalisms are not incompatible. A dark underside of Romanticism is also present, in Gothic novels, for example, and in the pessimisms that evolve out of revolutionary disappointments. So Mario Praz gets it right: There is a "Romantic Agony" that results from the gap between idealism and actuality that is (also!) at the core of the Romantic movements.
I think it's important not to be enthralled by the textbook labels for historical eras--such as "Age of Reason," "Romanticism," "Modernism," etc. To do so is to subscribe to the great undifferentiated non-familiar. "Romantic" (and other) ideas persist into the twentieth century and beyond "Modernism" into "Postmodernism." In some cases Romantic-democratic ideas are taken to some extremes--free verse for example as a way to liberate the individual voice. I think many Modernist painters could be described as Romantics, and not just the landscape painters.
History, and the history of ideas and practices, is untidy and complex. It is also easy to stereotype. Is not Mary Shelley's Frankenstein doctor a Romantic howl against technology gone out of control? Look at where we are now, except for Researchgate.

It is said that experimenting with more subjective modes of expression was one of the reasons behind the emergence of Romanticism in Germany (Sturm and Drang movement), where writers like Goethe presented works with a character who is ardently following his passion and individual creativity (like Faust). Faust in the play attempts to come up with a subjective interpretation (his own theory perhaps) of the Bible, disagreeing with theologians. how did this work influence the emergence of romanticism as a literary theory?
Relevant answer
Answer
Faust was a radical change in the ideals of the novel and characters, quite often we see that XIX century romanticism is proposed as human characters that follow their ideals, however their ideals are always focused on a common desire that is not necessarily bad on theory. However faust is proposing an abandonment of humanity in itself, by following his ideal faust went to the devil and thereby abandoned God, this in total oposition to the theological ideas of previous centuries and to the idea of a common good.
This radicalized idea changed completely the writing style, in addition Goethe´s bold writing based in rhyme is a new proposal for writers, this proposal is what influenced romanticism as a literary theory, rather than the plot the style is the revolutionary in Goethe´s faust.
But in my opinion faust is such a complex work that it should be separated from the reduction of being considered as romanticism, maybe we are in front of a new style and current of thinking

I have 2 hypotheses:
1) if there’s a difference between phase 2 compared to no phase 1
2) if there’s a difference in phase 3 vs phase 2
when I ran t-tests doing this I got a significant difference for my second hypothesis, HOWEVER, when I do an ANOVA I don’t see any significant differences between these 3 phases.
Should I report the ANOVA even if I’m not looking for a difference in phase 3 vs phase 1?
I am also looking at neuroticism and genders moderation on empathic accuracy scores in phase 2. should I do a simple moderation analysis or is there a statistical test which can be done in a more smart manner?

This question does not relate to philosophical romanticism applied to science that had some currency in the 1800s. Roughly it seems that scientific romanticism differed from enlightenment by inserting humanity into nature and seeking union via human consciousness and problem solving.
The romantic aspect of physics I allude to shares some features of the medieval tale relating to chivalry, such as Don Quixote and qualities of adventure into unknown parts remote from settled life, such as the adventures of Richard Burton, who translated the Arabian Nights.
The mystery is: how has nature contrived these things we observe?
The remoteness is that the answers may require extrapolation in size, microscopic or cosmological, or in length of time, short or long, or in eons past or yet to arrive, remote from human experience, or principles that defy and challenge human perception, such as universal gravitation, or the nature of time, curvature of space, or quantum particles.
The adventure involves all the steps to solve the problem.
It seems to me that theoretical physics is a romantic quest. If the physicist arrives at a partial or provisional understanding of some mystery, then that is a great romance.
Your view?
Relevant answer
Answer
Yes, I do agree to your observation. When physics leaves the experimental method, it is becoming romantic, either in formulating mathematical beauty or aesthetic texts. Such is the poetic consciousness of our physical universe, which is still a concealed mystery of dead and living matter.

I observed that most people enjoy courtship because love is active during this period. But in marriage, there seems to be conflicts because here love is passive. I discovered that most marriages collapse because men are pretenders in courtship period. Most of them are no more who they used to be during courtship- a romantic period. They grow traditional and more authoritative whereas women want to be romantic forever. Men should not tolerate in courtship what they cannot tolerate in marriage- a classical period. My understanding of Romantic Period and Classical Period is that of Courtship Period and Marital Period.

Classicism is a philosophy of conservatism, imitation of the famous experts and mentorship whereas Romanticism is a philosophy of freedom, intuition, quest for adventure and realization of individual dreams, aspirations or imagination. Both manifested historically in Literature, Arts and Music. But nowadays, the interact of these two concepts leads to a conflict as it occurred in France during premiere of Victor Hugo's Hernani in Paris in 1830. I observed through about a decade research on Romanticism that Classicism and Romanticism are two variable factors that determine a social change. This is as a result of conflict that occurs between the classics and the romantics in all spheres of life. Collaborative research will be welcomed ; articles on this is yet to be published. Any journal on Romanticism, Literature, Comparative Literature, French Literature, German Literature , Psychoanalysis Guardian & Counseling and Adolescence?

Answer
I feel uneasy about the way in which the question is formulated. Why transfer in such a direct manner the absolutely not univocally defined concepts of cultural history to the field of social evolution and maybe politics? Doesn't such transfer introduce more ambiguities in all spheres concerned? Moreover, it seems to me that the opposition, classic in itself, between these two cultural/artistic currents or modes of expression is here ideologically distorted, unbalanced, a positive, freedom loving adventurous Romanticism contrasting with a conservative (oppressive?) Classicism, a dull and static imitation of masters. Historically, neither one was monolithic, there were reactionary Romantics and very liberal Classicists (take Voltaire for one example).
In Archaists and Innovators (1929), the Russian formalist critic Yuri Tynyanov demonstrated how in XIX century Russia some poets who were to become revolutionaries turned to traditional models from the past whereas their much more conservative opponents proved to pioneer new forms.
If so, wouldn't it be more precise to speak simply about an eternal social and political conflict between conservatists and liberals, a conflict that can be and frequently was reflected in literature & arts, and not vice versa?

People often think that feminism in literature is limited to both male and female writers who defend women in the society. However, they fail to realize that the first generation of romantic writers were French female romantics such as Germaine de Stael and George Sand, a female who used a male pseudonym to write in 19th century. Les Miserables of Victor Hugo and Notre Dame de Paris were two works that portray female characters positively. Even Stendhal's Madame Bovary, a realist-romantic novel is another example. So, one can say affirmatively that the romantics were the first feminists. Let modern feminists critics and writers take note otherwise there would be a vacuum in knowledge being dispatched.
Relevant answer
Answer
In my eyes you make four major mistakes: 1. The romantics were not at all the "first" feminists. There have been thinkers long before romanticism, who pleaded for equal rights of women and men; the idea of equal rights of both sexes is said to be expressed by Averroes (Ibn Rushd) for the first time in Europe. In China, the most prominent political claim of emancipation was the takeover of power by Wu Zetian. When you are talking about modernity only, you should consider Olympe de Gouges as a crucial figure of feminist history. 2. You are confusing novels, that deal with female protagonists, like Flauberts masterpiece Madame Bovary with a feminist struggle. Flaubert clearly was a sexist. Hugos Notre Dame doesn't deal with feminism at all. 3. You are confusing being a woman and a writer with being a feminist: There are a lot of anti-feminists among female writers. 4. Feminist critics do know all this. There's no vacuum in knowledge.

I am disturbed by the simplicity with which a fellow academic claims what women "love" on a website that is devoted to research. Serious studies in psychology and psychoanalysis have pointed out for many decades that LOVE is a complex attachment which is closely entangled with fear (fear of losing your income, your home, your children, public respect, etc). I am sure that there ares some people who thrive in a sadomasochistic relationship, but there must be as many sadomasochistic men as there are sadomasochistic women. But this would not lead anyone to conclude that men love to be in an abusive relationship.

The same adjective " romantic" is used for the two nouns. So majority of people associate being romantic with romance , that is love affection and courtship experience. However, to literary critics , romantic love is impossible love that seeks freedom in a rigid society. Romance Literature is 17th century English Elizabethan period whereas Romanticism Literature is 19th century literary of rebellion in Europe.
Relevant answer
Answer
Romance Literature predates Romanticism- the latter is a late-eighteenth and early-nineteenth century aesthetic and political break from the values of the Enlightenment- the primacy of reason, science and empiricism. Romanticism prioritizes emotion and feeling ('sentiment'), advocates an introspective return to Nature (not as an external fact but a state of being) and takes issue with the social and psychic ramifications of the Industrial Revolution- the quantification and commodification of culture, the rise of utilitarianism and a disassociation between thought and feeling. Romance is a medieval mode of writing focused on adventurous conquests of chivalrous heroes, damsels and distress and entrapments of the supernatural (think about King Arthur and the Round Table, as a representative example).

Dear all,
I'm actually working in a study in which I propose an alternative structure underlying romantic attachment in couples facing breast cancer. I used a short version of the well known Experiences in Close Experiences measure developed by Brennan and Shaver.The analyses that I conducted (multiple CFA, EFA, etc) suggested a different structure underlying this self report. Specifically, instead confirming the well know structure which presents anxiety and avoidance as the underlying factors, it suggests a third structure organisation, in which I am still working on. I early published a study in which I mention this finding (Ávila et al., 2017).

Given a text, is it possible to clone (i.e. write something similar) a given text, while mantaining constant the difficulty of the text itself?
I know that is possible to use LSTM to generate text, but that involves training the network with some training data (lets say Shakespeare poems) that will result in something similar to Shakespeare itself as output.
If we want to create a framework that given a specific text (something short like "Adam and Jane are going out for dinner and are having a dessert and a bottle of wine") give us back something similar to the input (that will not be "Two boys in their 30s, going out during a full moon evening for a romantic dinner......" - too complex) LSTM is not the best idea since we have to train again the network every time we want to change the "context" we are working with. This is not scalable.
Do you have any ideas on how to create something that mimics input sentences and does not require hours of training?
I was thinking that maybe NER or POS could help, but I do have still some difficulties on seeing how so far.
Thanks.

Answer
It depends what you are translating, With poetry, you have to know the versification method of the language and find a way to capture it in a language which does not sound the same or have the same methods (say pitch versus not using pitch). You also have to be careful with idioms. In French, as I found out delightfully, saying je suis chaud is not the same as saying j'ai chaud. Scansion is another ball game. Linguistics gets scansion wrong. It is a way of putting syllables together to sound a certain way; that is, it is determined more by the ear than by actual syllabification -- that is why variants in feet and measures occur. It was also meant to be memorable, that is, repetition helps one to remember. Not only do you need to look at classical rhetoric, rather than modern rhetoric, for what you need to remember (gesture, tone, etc.) and try to find ways of conveying these -- I always thought that the greatest poets in English were the great musical lyricists of the 20th century. To me "Another Hundred People Just Got Off Of The Train" by Sondheim is more effective than "The Wasteland" in its articulation. Also about classical rhetoric, when you read a Restoration comedy silently, it is not funny. When you read it aloud or see it acted, it is hilarious. The words were put together to be said aloud and you miss the fun if you do not hear them as the battle of wits they are.
These are just some thoughts to consider. As a practicing verse writer (I do not like what the word poet, which in Greek meant "maker", has become because maker means a person who is technically proficient), I did a preliminary study for a work on versification based not on linguistics or theory but on the ear ... as it would have been done in say Classical Greece and Rome and Ancient Israel. Having studied all three language as much as I could since a good classical education was no longer available in schools, and having read people like the Parry's and Albert Lord, as well as learned the chanting system in Hebrew, I found that looking at versification as a patterning of sound to organize effective statement to remember opened up a way to understand why certain writers are more effective than others.

When I conducted CFA in AMOS some dimensions showed to be highly correlated with a substantial increment in the value of the correlation (from .35 to .87). This value questions the interdependent nature of these dimensions. I am aware that AMOS estimation produces a more robust examination of the data but I don't remember seeing such a huge change at the level of the correlation values. Is this common? And how can this be explained? Than you so much for your attention!

Answer
Just to expand a little on Heiko's answer.
Using latent variable statistics (like Amos), one of the points is to get rid of 'measurement error'. 'Measurement error' in this context means all the influences on a factor that are unique for each indicator (for instance items on a questionnaire), in contrast with influences on a factor which is (somewhat) common for the indicators. When calculating correlations between factors using latent variable models, the measurement part is not used in the calculation, only the common influences, which (if you have a good measurement instrument) is a better representation of the construct.
However, if you calculate correlations between sum scores, the measurement errors are not separated from the calculation. Therefore, they sort of blurr the picture, and the correlations typically are lower (attenuated). Again, if you are using a good measurement instrument (for instance a test), the correlations found using latent variable methods will be the better representation of the relation.

Romanticism and Psychoanalysis have revealed that every philosophy has to start with a stage, then grows to another stage, then to another stage and finally becomes a recognized philosophy. These stages are puzzles for researchers in literary movement of Romanticism and Psychoanalysis in any discipline.
Relevant answer
Answer
Every agent of change has romantic instinct which becomes a pool of feelings called romantic sentiment. This manifests into romantic behaviours. Due to its strangeness in the society, it attracts criticism. At this stage the romantic agent reflects to find reasons to this non-conformity. This leads to romantic philosophy. He then tries to spread through a means (politics, literature, music, arts, speeches or dressing). This constitute a romantic group when they share this romantic philosophy. This can change the system through revolution based of popularity and acceptance or deforms into extremism ; or terrorism when violence is used to disseminate this romantic philosophy. (This is the latest findings from a doctoral research since 2011.)

I am detecting psychology traits from a very large set of text and so far, I am able to extract the big 5 personality traits(extraversion, agreeableness, openness, conscientiousness, and neuroticism). Therefore, I am trying to extract extra traits from the text, such as self-esteem (texts about romantic partners) trait and narcissists(texts about personal achievement).
So I am trying now to come up with new traits from the texts such as sense of purpose (https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/out-the-darkness/201307/the-power-purpose), is there any way to extract this feature? Also, is there any personality traits you can propose to include

The twentieth century witnessed two devastating wars which made the earlier style of living upside down. Men became wild, and sadness gripped human psyche. Against this backdrop, T.S. Eliot discovered 'hollow men'. However, the earth is not going to perish tomorrow, so we must live. It is an eternal paradox that despite misfortunes which come not as single flies but in battalions men rise up and strive to start life afresh - enjoying the morning sun, listening to the cuckoos and the nightingales, having sunbath on the sea beach, singing songs, being in love, writing poems, growing crops and breeding children. This attitude of man has generated a new kind of Romantic mood in English poetry in the 21st century. I believe Romanticism shapes the earth more beautifully than any other creed.

Dear Sibaprasad,
This is a very strong and moving topic. I agree with you that poetry which glorifies life is badly needed in the 21st century as well. My questions are these:
1. Who are the poets you have in mind?
2. Why do you think that this life-affirming sort of poetry needs to be necessarily romantic?
Looking forward to your answer,

Isn't The Shadow of Light : An Album of Poems an experiment in Neo-Romanticism? - ResearchGate. Available from: https://www.researchgate.net/post/Isnt_The_Shadow_of_Light_An_Album_of_Poems_an_experiment_in_Neo-Romanticism#view=5688e1d47eddd306688b458b [accessed Jan 3, 2016].
*************************************************************************************
Dear Ferenc,
The Shadow of Light: An Album of Poems is a novel experiment in Neo-Romanticism. Before initiating a discussion, this volume of poems needs to be read. It is available on Amazon and Barnes and Noble.
You have rightly grasped that the kind of poetry which glorifies life is seriously needed in the 21st century. The last century has been pitiably inhuman especially in the backdrop of two world wars that took away precious human lives and devastated the edifices of civilization built by men by the sweat of their brows since the beginning of  time. Poetry diverted itself to portray the desolateness of human life and the lifeless ruins that filled the earth. The values of love, friendship and tolerance were replaced by infidelity, divorce, promiscuousness and treachery. Prosperity meant accumulation of wealth at any cost.
Now that about  sixty years have passed since World War II and since Hiroshima and Nagasaki have sprung back to life and glory, men are beginning to feel  a new breeze blowing gently on the earth. With the fall of Soviet Union, the war of nerves is a thing of the past although monocentric world power is no less dangerous. Islamic terrorism is threatening the world order no doubt, but positive forces rallying against them will be able to diminish its rage. It is time that we looked back to nature, to innocent childhood,  to love and to the sunny mornings. This urge is being nurtured by some poets not with an eye to the Nobel Prize but for the sake of the celebration of life. They are few, but they are there.
2. Romanticism is an uncommon awareness of life - to be elated at the sight of a violet by a mossy stone, at the sight of daffodils beside the lake beneath the trees, at the voice of the nightingales and the cuckoos, at the spectacle of children flying kites, at the hush-hush kissing of  teenaged lovers. Socially, it also encourages equality and fraternity - a goal we have set for ourselves.  This is what you have nicely called 'life-affirming' trend of modern life. Romanticism is not an illusion, but more realistic than realism. It is like mining gold and diamond under the crust that is 'realistically' barren.
I wish you were in touch with me via email. That would give us opportunities to exchange ideas on new grounds.
All the best,
Sibaprasad

Dear Dr. Cleary,
Derrida has always shown that the deconstruction affect any object of culture, and not only metaphysical texts. In fact, the late production of the philosopher applies deconstructive experience no longer exclusively to paper-based systems of the philosophical tradition, but also to the historical and conceptual ones close to us (at least apparently), right where the deconstructive movement find us unprepared: "gift" ,  '"hospitality", "forgiveness", up to the system which concerns and involves us all: "democracy".
Unfortunately, I have no plan to publish  on Derrida and metaphysics more formally.
Anyway I thank you for being so nice to me.

I have reformulated my earlier question because the answers I have received, although very interesting, referred mostly to violence in the performing arts, or to periods later than the one I am researching presently.
I am specifically looking for literature that discusses the subject of violence as a recurring theme in painting, from the Baroque to the Romantic period.
For example paintings such as Rembrandt's "Blinding of Samson", Titian’s The flaying of Marsyas,  Poussin's  Massacre of the Innocents, Caravaggio's Judith and Holofernes, Rubens' Rape of the Sabine Women, Goya's Third of May 1808 or Delacroix's Death of Sardanapalus, discussed from the point of view of the violence they represent.

There are two pillars of consciousness, that of intentionality, which includes thoughts, ideas, desires, motives and goals. The other side of consciousness is that of phenomena, which includes sensations, perceptions and feelings. These are troublesome for philosophy of mind philosophers because things such as color vision, the redness of red is not physical but is mental; the experience of a red rose is different from the physics of it all, this is related to the "Mary Problem" and what Goethe was pointing out, which is that Newtonian vision theory gives us everything about the theory of light but what we actually see and also perceive as beauty. Another example would be pain. One can pinch another and watch the physics and the biology of it all, but never will that observer 'feel' that other person's pain. The C Fibers can be watched and the damaged tissue, and the signals to the brain but one can't feel the pain of another. Also, ideas and other intentionalities aren't like tables and chairs that you can poke, prod and measure. They seem mental. like perceptions of color and feelings. Furthermore, reasons seem different than physical causes in that if you take a brain, blow it up to the size of a building and walk in what one would see is fat, protein and water, which translates into mostly dendrites, axons and synapses. No where do we "see" and idea. I don't want to debate my metaphysics or my epistemology though please.
However, what I want to know is if these two categories, that of intentionality and phenomena, as described above, fit into what Kant would call the noumenal realm.
Thank you ever so much for any help you may give.
Relevant answer
Answer
Stephen,
I think the sorts of things you mention are not what Kant has in mind when he speaks of noumena. For one thing, for Kant, noumena cannot be sensed; they have no sensible properties. The things you mention have temporal extension, which for Kant, along with spatial extension, is the very form of sensibility.
We are able to think of things independently of their sensible properties, according to Kant. Something may appear in space and time, but it may also be considered, independently of this appearing and the sensible conditions of this appearing, as the thing which is the source of the appearance. We can only know it (cognize it) as it appears in space and time, says Kant, but we can think of it independently of these conditions, as the thing in itself.
Some writers have taken pains not to equate the thing in itself with the noumenon, despite the fact that neither can be sensed. Part of the reason for this, I think, has to do with the role the notion of a noumenon plays in Kant's theory of freedom. For more on the distinction between the thing in itself and the noumenon see ch. 3 of Henry Allison's "Kant's Transcendental Idealism."

e.g. rhythmic or melodic gestures, nuances or general elements of Beethoven's music which might be considered as combining to give an overall impression of the heroic, or being indicative of Beethoven's heroic style.
Relevant answer
Answer
You most certainly know Robert Hatten's book "Musical Meaning in Beethoven: MAakdness, Correlation, and Interpretation". He does not consider the Heroic in the context of Topical Theory itself, but as a category of Expressive Genres. Therefore many different topoi can be used to convey heroic expression, like March, Sturm und Drang, French Overture, Siciliano, and so on, and on.
