Race:

Raphe Nuclei: a small group of cells near to the pons in the hindbrain, associated with the reticular formation and involved in the control of sleep.

REM Sleep:

Reactive: when coupled with, say, Major Depression, this means that the condition is a response to an external stimulus (event or person), rather than being purely to do with Endogenous reasons.

Reactive Attachment Disorder: originally termed 'Affectionless Psychopathy' by John Bowlby, this is a condition resulting from the failure to form infant attachments or having such attachments severely disrupted or destroyed. The condition is characterised by the individual being unable to form normal relationships or throwing themselves impulsively into inappropriate relationships, an almost complete lack of emotion, conscience and guilt, with little or no sense of social and moral boundaries.
In Integrated SocioPsychology terms, it would appear that the PURPLE vMEME's need for security and belonging has been crushed and so a form of unrestrained psychopathic RED has come to the fore.
Bowlby believed that the effects of no or severely disrupted attachment were irreversible after 2.5 years of age; but general opinion seems to be that the age of 5 is a more likely marker. Work by Michael Rutter (amongst others) has indicated that the effects of infant attachment deprivation may not be irreversible in all instances if the opportunities for loving attachments are provided a little later in life - ie: pre- and early teens.

Reciprocal Determinism: Albert Bandura's concept that an individual's personality and behaviour help to shape his/her Environment and the changed Environment then impacts upon personality and behaviour which, as changed, then helps change the Environment again, etc. Reciprocal Determinism explains how the neurological levels need to be re-aligned periodically and is reflected in the letter pairings of the Graves Model. As such, Reciprocal Determinism is a key element in the structure of Integrated SocioPsychology.

Reticular Activating System: a system in the midbrain which links the forebrain to the hindbrain and monitors signals related to arousal. Beginning in the spinal cord and passing through the brainstem, it's also often classified as being in the hindbrain.

Reticular Formation: an area in the brain containing the reticular activating system, adjacent to the raphe nuclei and the locus coeruleus.

Reputation Management: the term given by Nicholas Emler for the behaviour of an adolescent who, in the process of Identity formation, is unable to define their reputation in terms of academic success. That person will be likely to define success for themselves in anti-social and/or delinquent behaviour. What seems to be at stake here is the RED vMEME's need to establish some form of self-esteem.

Resourceful Self: an Inner Child exercise developed by Penny Parks which draws upon Carl Rogers' concept of Self and the Ideal Self. It is a powerful tool for increasing self-efficacy.
