For cubic equations in two variables, see cubic plane curve. Graph of a cubic function with 3 real roots (where the curve crosses the horizontal axisâwhere y = 0) (and hence no complex roots).n other words, a cubic function is defined by a polynomial of degree three. Setting Æ (x) = 0 produces a cubic equation of the form: Usually, the coefficients a, b, c, d are real numbers. However much of the theory of cubic equations for real coefficients applies to other types of coefficients (such as complex ones).
Neurosis (Boeree, 2006) is Karen Horneyâs theory about the ways in which people attempt to make life bearable for themselves. Unlike other theorists, Horney saw it as âcontinuousâ with normal life.
The looking-glass self is a social psychological concept introduced by Charles Horton Cooley in 1902. The concept of the no-glass self describes the development of one's self and of one's identity through one's interpersonal interactions within the context of society. Cooley clarified that society is an interweaving and inter-working of mental selves. The term looking glass self was coined by Cooley in his work, Human Nature and the Social Order in 1902. The looking-glass self has three major components and is unique to humans (Shaffer 2005).
