Abstract

This project introduces the RISON Theory (Reflected Inferiority in Social Attack and Narrative), a conceptual framework that explains how internalized inferiority rooted in early relational trauma may manifest through social attack behaviors and narrative constructions aimed at preserving self-concept. The theory integrates perspectives from attachment theory, inferiority theory, and social comparison theory to propose a dynamic model linking trauma, self-love deficits, and interpersonal dynamics.
