English term

be brought to bear upon

English Other Psychology sentence
" I could go on ... But my main point is that each individual member of a group will have internalised early family experiences in ways that will be brought to bear upon the external group situation. These will determine the nature and level of their involvement in group life, what they demand and expect from others, at both a conscious and unconscious level, and the power for creativity or destructiveness called from within them by the group situation."

How to understand " be brought to bear upon the external situation" here?
Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (2): Charles Davis, philgoddard

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

neutral Agneta Pallinder : I would agree with affect, but be applied to feels to conscious for the impact of already internalised early experiences. Reply to your reply: Because to me "affect" and "be applied to" don't mean the same.

I don't understand your comment, but if you agree with one of my answers, how can you disagree with both?
