The Psychology of Self Defense - 3 Pathological Threats



trail survival ultra kit

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. It is possible to change your perspective and decrease the perceived threat by affirming a valuable value for yourself. These are just three examples of pathological dangers. Find out more information about each of these threats by reading the following.

Psychopaths don't care about the hurt.

A psychopath doesn't care who gets hurt unless you have a strong instinct for defense. They don't have any regrets for what they did and won't care who got hurt. They will never feel bad about hurting anyone, and they will not care if the person they attack gets hurt. Psychopaths have a very grandiose sense of self, and they believe the rules of the world don't apply to them. These people will also do anything they can to get away with it, including harming other people.

Pathological - they don't care who gets hurt

A psychopath, on the other hand, doesn't care if someone else gets hurt in self-defense, and will likely be manipulative. Psychopaths create fear in their victims and cover their threats with stories about disappearances or family secrets. This manipulative strategy plays on the victim’s emotions and minds, so they succumb to the bully’s demands.

Imperfect self defence

There is a big difference between ordinary and imperfect self-defense. Perfect self-defense is when a person believes they are in imminent threat and has no other option but to use deadly force for their protection. This doctrine is different from ordinary self-defense. It only applies to situations in which an individual is trying defend themselves against a dangerous threat.

Deathly force

If the self-defense victim believes that he/she is in imminent danger of being killed or severely injured, then it is legal to use deadly force. 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 basic elements that make a force deadly. They are: The use of force for self defense must be justified with an unprovoked attack, objectively reasonable force and the person must be reasonably afraid of harm or death. Two exceptions to this rule are excessive force during the initial assault and withdrawal.


Motivational theory

R.W. Rogers in 1975 and later expanded in 1983, the protection motivation theory attempts to predict why people make certain decisions in stressful situations. The main topics included quitting smoking and the danger of cancer. Minor topics included bicycle helmet use, reducing caffeine intake, improving dental hygiene, pain management during the recovery from dental surgery, and the safe use of pesticides. The research shows that the psychological and physiological factors affecting self defense are the same as for other topics.

Refusal

Denial is a primitive defense mechanism. It can work alone or with other subtle mechanisms to prevent a person from dealing with unpleasant emotions or areas of life. One example is when a student refuses to acknowledge their apparent inexperience while taking a test. In the same way, someone might avoid acknowledging their inexperience during a test by minimising their efforts. However, there are some situations in which denial in self defense can prove detrimental.

How To

How to preserve food in a survival situation

In a long-term emergency, drying food is the best method to preserve it. Drying food preserves it from moisture, making them last longer. It also inhibits the growth of bacteria.

Because dried fruits don't require much preparation, they are great for snacking in an emergency. Dried fruits are easy to transport and can be eaten as much as you like without worrying about weight gain.

A dehydrator can be used to dry fruit at home, but it is more efficient to use a solar oven. You can dry any kind of food in a solar oven.

When preserving food, it is essential to make sure that the container is airtight. This stops oxygen from entering the container, which can cause food to spoil. It is not necessary to add preservatives if you seal the container well enough.

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

First, cut the food into small pieces. You can use scissors or a knife. Be sure to pack everything securely so no air can get inside.

Place the food in a plastic bag. Cover the bag with plastic and let it dry somewhere warm.

Once the food has dried, you can place it in a sealed bag. Take care not to let any food touch it.
