Psychology Talk
Last Wednesday I attended the lecture Mhairi Bowe gave entitle "Is There More at Home Than the Heart: The Psychology of People and Places". She talked about what it is about a place that makes it a home to somebody. The factor she believes to be the most important in defining home is the people there. No matter where a person is, it can become home through the family or friends that are present.
She also talked about what some psychologist call the "emotional impact of geopgraphy", and how a physical location can change a persons personal identity and social identity.
I agree with what she says about people making a place home. My parents moved from Texas, where they had lived all my life, to Colorado last year. Even though I have only been to the house there three times, it is still home because that is where my family is. I do still consider Conroe, Texas where I grew up, my home as well, but becasue of the memories associated with that geographical location. It was also interesting to think of this subject so far away form home and family. If my family was here in Dundee with me, I'm not sure I would consider Scotland my home. So maybe there are limitations and the strtch of geographical-emotional boundaries...
