- When you are in school, it is common not to do homework, but different students will have different behaviors when checking homework by teachers: some will show calmness, just forget it; some will lie and say that homework is left at home; some will feel ashamed and don’t know what to do...
These are common manifestations when facing external pressure. So today I will talk about what types of reactions psychologists classify our reactions to
Over the years, psychologists have studied stress in various ways. Until the early 20th century, scientists gradually reached a consensus: In stress response, the brain's reaction is closely related to the generation of consciousness.
Consciousness is very complex, and different schools of psychology also express different views. The most famous theory is the self-theory proposed by Freud. He believes that people are born to continue to feel stress, and the strategy to deal with stress is the defense mechanism. So what defense mechanisms do we have?
1. Refusing to admit it is your fault, deny the reality
When we face threats, we will deny the reality and firmly believe that our behavior is not wrong.
For example, if you make a mistake at work, your colleague accuses you of saying that it is because you play games during working hours, and you will immediately deny it. In fact, you do play games while performing tasks
Or, if the child loses appetite while eating, adults criticize him for stealing snacks, the child will often deny it immediately
2. Suppress the stimulation in the subconscious, which looks normal on the surface
When we encounter something very painful, our consciousness will automatically block these memories in order to protect us. These events may be stored in the subconscious, which is also a common traumatic sequelae for us. PTSD Typical symptoms of patients
For example, some children will have symptoms of being frightened when they witness some bloody events, and at the same time this memory will be blocked. In the face of this stressful disease, hypnosis treatment is a common treatment method
3. Project consciousness on external factors
When we face doubts, we often attribute the reasons to external things. In short, it is to transfer the threats that externally point to ourselves to other purposes to achieve the goal of getting out of ourselves
For example: I am late to work in the morning and will argue that traffic is crowded; when the exam fails, it is attributed to the teacher's misunderstanding of the point of the review, etc.
4. Through reinterpretation of the incident, some unreasonable phenomena are rationalized
This situation is generally to make ourselves feel better
For example, when facing a failed job application, we will think that the competition this year is too fierce, and the people who have obtained positions are older than me. Thinking about this, rationalization is like a filter Similarly, make the pain less painful
5. Transfer and replace, vent your emotions to people or things that have nothing to do with it
The famous "kicking cat effect" is a good example. When the outside world puts a lot of pressure, we will transfer these negative feelings to other places
For example: When we are criticized by our leaders at work, we will pretend to be calm, but after we get home, we will lose our temper with our closest people, making our family at a loss. This is what we often say: Take gunpowder
Yes, after taking gunpowder from others, spitting fire on innocent people
and above is a manifestation, which is our defense mechanism against pressure. Isn’t it very common?
See here, Can you understand why your family loses temper for no reason after getting off work? What other behaviors do you think are also a type of defense mechanism for ? Which one do you think you belong to? Welcome to leave a message in the comment area
