  • AIH Chapter 2: Human Behavior
    Aviation Instructor's Handbook (FAA-H-8083-9) Chapter 2: Human Behavior Introduction Derek’s learner, Jason, is very smart and able to retain a lot of information, but has a tendency to rush through the less exciting material and shows interest and attentiveness only when performing tasks that he finds to be interesting. This concerns Derek because he is worried that Jason will overlook many important details and rush through procedures. For a homework assignment Jason was told to take a very thorough look at Preflight Procedures and that for his next flight lesson they would discuss each step in detail. As Derek predicted, Jason found this assignment to be boring and was not prepared. Derek knows that Jason is a “thrill seeker” as he talks about his business, which is a wilderness adventure company. Derek wants to find a way to keep Jason focused and help him find excitement in all areas of learning so that he will understand the complex art of flying and aircraft safety. Learning is the acquisition of knowledge or understanding of a subject or skill through education, experience, practice, or study. This chapter discusses behavior and how it affects the learning process. An instructor seeks to understand why people act the way they do and how people learn. An effective instructor uses knowledge of human behavior, basic human needs, the defense mechanisms humans use that prevent learning, and how adults learn in order to organize and conduct productive learning activities. Definitions of Human Behavior The study of human behavior is an attempt to explain how and why humans function the way they do.

We also found correlations between some of the 40 specific mechanisms of the DSQ-40 and the 12 dimensions of pathological personality traits from the IDCP (r ≥ 0.30 to r ≤ 0.43), partially supported by the literature. In addition, we used regression analysis to verify the potential of the IDCP dimension clusters (related to personality disorders) to predict defence mechanisms, revealing some minimally expressive predictive values (between 20% and 35%). Discussion: The results indicate that those who tend to use immature defence mechanisms are also those most likely to present pathological personality traits.

    Defense Mechanisms According to Sigmund Freud, who originated the Defense Mechanism theory, Defense Mechanisms occur when our ego cannot meet the demands of reality. They are psychological strategies brought into play by the unconscious mind to manipulate, deny or distort reality so as to maintain a socially acceptable self-image. Healthy people normally use these mechanisms throughout life. it becomes pathological only when its persistent use leads to maladaptive behavior such that the physical and/or mental health of the individual is adversely affected. The purpose of ego defense mechanisms is to protect the mind/self/ego from anxiety and/or social sanctions and/or to provide a refuge from a situation with which one cannot currently cope. Defense mechanisms are unconscious coping mechanisms that reduce anxiety generated by threats from unacceptable impulses In 1977, psychologist George Vaillant took Freud’s theory and built upon it by categorizing them, placing Freud’s mechanisms on a continuum related to their psychoanalytical developmental level. Level 1: Pathological Defenses The mechanisms on this level, when predominating, almost always are severely pathological. These six defense’s, in conjunction, permit one to effectively rearrange external experiences to eliminate the need to cope with reality. The pathological users of these mechanisms frequently appear irrational or insane to others. These are the "psychotic" defense’s, common in overt psychosis. However, they are found in dreams and throughout childhood as well. They include: Delusional Projection: Delusions about external reality, usually of a persecutory nature. Conversion: the expression of an intra-psychic conflict as a physical symptom; some examples include blindness, deafness, paralysis, or numbness.

    CLINICAL EDUCATION AND INTERVENTIONS FOR DEFENSE STRUCTURES OF CO-OCCURRING POPULATIONS Brian G. Lengfelder LCPC, CAADC, CCJP, SAP, MAC, CSAT, CMAT, ACRPS WHAT CONSTITUTES DEFENSE MECHANISMS • The term ‘defense mechanisms’ was coined over 100 years ago to describe a construct of psychological mechanisms for coping with intrapsychic conflicts. • Defense mechanisms and conflicts are two hypothetical constructs that have remained at the core of psychodynamic approaches to understanding and treating clinical psychopathology. • Defense mechanisms mediate between an individual’s wishes, needs, and affects on the one hand, and both internalized object relations and external reality on the other. Freud, S. The neuro-psychosis of defense, in Strachey, J. (ed.): The Standard Edition of the Complete Psychological Works of Sigmund Freud, London, Hogarth, (original work published 1894), 1962, pp. 43-68. DEFENSE MECHANISMS DEFINED • Mechanisms that mediate the individual’s reaction to emotional conflicts and to external stressors. Some defense mechanisms (e.g., projection, splitting, acting out) are almost invariably maladaptive. Others (e.g., suppression, denial) may be either maladaptive or adaptive, depending on their severity, their inflexibility, and the context in which they occur. 2013, DSM-5 American Psychiatric Association DEFENSE MECHANISMS DEFINED • Defense mechanisms (or coping styles) are automatic psychological processes that protect the individual against anxiety and from the awareness of internal or external dangers or stressors.

  • Interpersonal Conceptualizations and Intra-Psychic Functions of Defense Mechanisms in Indigenous Perspective
    International Journal of Business and Social Science Volume 8 • Number 4 • April 2017 Interpersonal Conceptualizations and Intra-Psychic Functions of Defense Mechanisms in Indigenous Perspective Saba Walayat Government College University Lahore, Pakistan Abstract The present study investigated the interpersonal and intra-psychic patterns of defense mechanisms in women of Pakistan. Qualitative study was based on focus group discussion. Data gathered through this interactive group session was recorded and transcribed. Grounded theory was used to assign codes and develop categories of the data and then to drive the important themes. The major themes emerged from the data were enhancing positive attitude, triggered resistance, inculcated religious and moral values, society as a guiding factor, interlink between different defense mechanisms and working mechanism of defense mechanisms. The study has wider implications for adapting the classical psychoanalytic theories while taking the indigenous perspective. Keywords: defense mechanisms, psychoanalysis, grounded theory. 1. Introduction When the desires are left to be unfulfilled by either confinement or disagreement, the individual struggles for various ways to prevent him/herself from the severe anxiety. Therefore, adopts the behaviors which can be seen as both as adaptive and maladaptive. These are termed as defense mechanisms or adaptations. The key functioning of the defense mechanisms is maintaining the normal functioning of an individual with respect to situation. Generally, defense mechanisms

  • Freudian Defense Mechanisms and Empirical Findings
    Freudian Defense Mechanisms and Empirical Findings in Modern Social Psychology: Reaction Formation, Projection, Displacement, Undoing, Isolation, Sublimation, and Denial Roy F. Baumeister, Karen Dale, and Kristin L. Sommer Case Western Reserve University ABSTRACT Recent studies in social psychology are reviewed for evidence relevant to seven Freudian defense mechanisms. This work emphasizes normal populations, moderate rather than extreme forms of defense, and protection of self-esteem against threat. Reaction formation, isolation, and denial have been amply shown in studies, and they do seem to serve defensive functions. Undoing, in the sense of counterfactual thinking, is also well documented but does not serve to defend against the threat. Projection is evident, but the projection itself may be a by-product of defense rather than part of the defensive response itself. Displacement is not well supported in any meaningful sense, although emotions and physical arousal states do carry over from one situation to the next. No evidence of sublimation was found. This research was supported by NIH grant #MH 51482. We wish to thank Len Newman, Constantine Sedikides, Tom Bruegger, and anonymous reviewers for helpful suggestions on an earlier draft.

  • 15 Common Defense Mechanisms
    15 Common Defense Mechanisms psychcentral.com/lib/15-common-defense-mechanisms/ View all posts by John M. Grohol, Psy.D. → 5/17/2016 Pages: 1 2All In some areas of psychology (especially in psychodynamic theory), psychologists talk about “defense mechanisms,” or manners in which we behave or think in certain ways to better protect or “defend” ourselves. Defense mechanisms are one way of looking at how people distance themselves from a full awareness of unpleasant thoughts, feelings and behaviors. Psychologists have categorized defense mechanisms based upon how primitive they are. The more primitive a defense mechanism, the less effective it works for a person over the long-term. However, more primitive defense mechanisms are usually very effective short-term, and hence are favored by many people and children especially (when such primitive defense mechanisms are first learned). Adults who don’t learn better ways of coping with stress or traumatic events in their lives will often resort to such primitive defense mechanisms as well. Most defense mechanisms are fairly unconscious – that means most of us don’t realize we’re using them in the moment. Some types of psychotherapy can help a person become aware of what defense mechanisms they are using, how effective they are, and how to use less primitive and more effective mechanisms in the future. Primitive Defense Mechanisms 1. Denial Denial is the refusal to accept reality or fact, acting as if a painful event, thought or feeling did not exist. It is considered one of the most primitive of the defense mechanisms because it is characteristic of early childhood development.
