Defense Mechanisms Have A Negative Effect On Personality Development

For those that receive care a hazard for an elderly person could be that they cannot see

In reading "Mistakes were Made but Not by me," multiple accounts are given of traits exhibited by humans that are displayed subconsciously. The authors, Carol Tavris and Elliot Aronson, begin by defining these traits and give readers the actual terminology to these characteristics. With various examples being provided to the reading audience they are then able to make a clear correlation between the behaviors displayed and how they may impact not only themselves but others around them. "Mistakes were Made but Not by me" has a theme which is centralized around the two key facets which are cognitive dissonance and self- justification.

Techniques of neutralization are ways for people to justify their defiance of society’s norms. These are observed in five categories: denial of responsibility, denial of injury, denial of a victim, condemnation of the condemner, and appeal to higher loyalties. Denial of responsibility puts the blame on the persons surrounding temptations rather than themselves. They say that they couldn’t control their urges. An example of this would be if someone were to break a vase and they justified their actions by saying they couldn’t help themselves.

When one does wrong, the common reaction is to hide it and pretend as if nothing happened. Because of the human conscience it is difficult to completely forget about a wrongdoing. Through our conscience guilt is built up and eventually that guilt shatters enough

According to Crabb (1977), there are several factors that motivate human behavior. Although there several motivators, Crabb (1977) insists that the need to feel secure and the need to feel significant are the two primary provokers. Often, a human’s primary motivator to meet these needs becomes the driving force behind any action. When a situation or event is encountered, often, the individual will analyze whether or not one of these two needs is threatened, if it is, a person will most often behave in a way that protects (Crabb, 1977). I have seen this to be true in my life and in the lives of many of my friends. For example, someone will make hurtful or unloving comment, and the receiver will retaliate with a defensive or hurtful remark to protect their security or significance from the offense. Unfortunately, this type of unhealthy behavior can set a person on a downhill spiral that may result in a ripple effect of negative impacts. Frequently, friends, business partners, spouses, children, and even other opportunities are disengaged because

Having fear of people knowing that, yourself has commit an action that wasn’t really polite or in a religious point of view “sinned” … automatically makes our inner conscience embarrassed. From personal experience it also makes one want to hide in shame. I recall when I was younger, agitating the teacher with missing assignments. So unfortunately I was going to walk into a speech from my mom when I arrive home about what happened earlier. She would advise to my aunties and uncles over the phone on how my behavior was school. I felt ashamed knowing the fact that my family members would judge me in a negative perspective by the actions I performed in school. Noticing them at family events made me abashed, so I hid away. I sense that’s why

Your family has one of the biggest impacts on who you turn out to be in the world. It doesn’t matter if you have an ideal relationship with your family or a um, putting it lightly, a not so good one like what John Elder Robison, the author of the memoir, “Look Me in the Eye” had. Whatever kind of relationship you have with your parents, you cannot deny that they influenced your identity because they are the people who raised you. Since John Elder’s parents were not good parents, John’s identity was molded into who he is today from trying not to be his parents. John Elder was abused physically and emotionally as a child.

For petty issues and difficulties human do not build a defense system. People are incapable of predicting their emotional response, because they are unaware of how their brains work; therefore they choose to be self-deceptive. We humans have the tendency ignore the facts in front of us, because we are afraid of what the facts have in store for us. Gilbert displays examples of how denial can be beneficial to one’s happiness as he states, “The deception was elaborate and effective, but it was perpetrated unconsciously, and in this Osten was not unique (Gilbert

The normal reaction to feelings of helplessness and vulnerability is often a need to regain control–

Children who dissociate themselves for an extended period of time, may use this coping mechanism in response to stressful situations throughout their lives.

A well-differentiated self, while acknowledging the importance of family and social groups, can withstand conflict, rejection, and criticism and separate emotionally and intellectually from the family of origin.

Well, if we haven’t done the personal work to gain insight into what and why we are triggered, we tend to react with old patterns, defence mechanism and strategies that no longer serve us and can actually make things worse.

My family shaped my personal and social identity at a micro level by being the first set of influencers the moment I was born. My personal identity is significantly influenced by my family through the approach that my parents have taken to raise and nurture me. The results of my parents raising me is shown through the behaviour and beliefs that I embody. For example, because of my family I have always been aware that there is a God. In consequence, my compliant behaviour towards religion has already been constructed at a young age. Moreover, my social identity’s structure was shaped by my family through they way they have socially interacted with me. My micro level interactions with my family throughout time has created a deeply rooted influence within me. The influence that my family has had on my social identity is demonstrated in the way that I respond in certain social situations. For example, through behavioural observation as a child I have learned not to speak back to my parents when they are lecturing me.
