The Psychology of Self Defense - 3 Pathological Threats



emergency beacon for hikers

In the psychology of self defense, the threat of injury to oneself is often interpreted as a threat to one's identity. This defensive reaction is often impeded by the fact that the threat is pathological, meaning it does not care who is injured. To change the perception of the threat, it is important to affirm a value that you hold. These are three examples. Continue reading to learn more about them all.

Psychopaths don’t care about who is hurt

A psychopath won't care if you don't have an instinct for self-defense. They don't have any regrets for what they did and won't care who got hurt. They will never feel sorry for hurting anyone and they won't care if that person gets hurt. Psychopaths have a grandiose view of themselves and believe the world doesn't apply. These people will do any thing they can to get away from the law, including harming others.

They don’t care who gets hurt

A psychopath on the other hand doesn't care about whether another person is hurt in self defence and will often manipulate. Psychopaths create fear in their victims and cover their threats with stories about disappearances or family secrets. This manipulation strategy plays on victims' emotions and minds so that they comply with the bully.

Imperfect self defence

There are two types of self-defense: imperfect and normal. When a person believes he or she's in imminent danger and is forced to resort to using deadly force to defend himself or herself, it is called imperfect self defense. This doctrine, unlike ordinary self defense, is not applicable in all cases. It is only used when an individual is trying protect himself from a fatal threat.

Force fatale

Self defense is allowed to use deadly force only if the victim is at risk of being seriously injured or even killed. The rapist must threaten harm to the victim, with a substantial chance of death or great bodily injuries, in order to justify the use deadly force. There are four elements that make a force fatal. They are: the use of force in self defense must be justified by an attack that is unprovoked, the use of an objectively reasonable amount of force, and the individual must reasonably fear harm or death. However, there are two exceptions to this rule: excessive force during the initial attack and withdrawal.


Motivational theory

R.W. Rogers, in 1975. Later expanded in 1983. The protection motiv theory attempts to predict how people will react in stressful situations. Among the major topics were smoking cessation and the threat of cancer. Some minor topics included the use of a bicycle helmet, reducing caffeine intake, improving oral hygiene, pain management in the post-surgical period, and safe pesticide use. Research shows that self defense is affected by the same psychological and physiological factors as other topics.

Denial

A primitive defense mechanism, denial is one. It can be used in isolation or combined with other subtle mechanisms that prevent someone from experiencing unpleasant emotions. Students might not acknowledge their lack of preparation during tests, for instance. The same goes for someone who may try to minimize their effort and avoid acknowledging the fact that they are not prepared for a presentation. There are situations where self-defense denial can prove to be detrimental.

How To

How to preserve food during a crisis?

To preserve food in an emergency situation, drying is the best option. Drying food preserves it from moisture, making them last longer. It also decreases the risk of bacteria growth.

Dry fruits are great snacks for emergencies because they don’t require preparation. They are portable and can be taken with you wherever you go.

It is possible to dry fruit at-home using a drying rack, but a solar oven would be more practical. A solar oven can be used to dry many foods, such as meat, fish, and vegetables.

The most important thing when preserving food is to ensure it is airtight. This stops oxygen entering the food and spoiling it. The container can be sealed tight enough to prevent oxygen from entering the food.

If you do decide to add preservatives, try adding salt first. Salt prevents mold growth. Next, add vinegar. Vinegar kills off harmful bacteria and stops mold from growing.

First, cut the food into small pieces. You can either use scissors or a knife. Make sure you pack everything well so that no air gets inside the container.

Next, place the food in a bag. Cover the bag with plastic and let it dry somewhere warm.

Once food has dried completely, it can be stored in a sealed container. You must be careful not to allow anything to touch the food.
