Study fears in one-dimensional functions
"Filled with fear of man can be a very brave man. It can create around themselves armor. He can become fearless devil just to show that he was not afraid, just to show others that he was not afraid. And if he gets into danger, he can deceive himself that is not afraid. But even the most courageous man is afraid. All his courage around the outside, deep inside he was trembling "
Osho "Fear"
Fear, no doubt, is one of the brightest psychological phenomena. The importance of the phenomenon of fear can be judged by the permanent interest of the religion, philosophy, psychology, esoteric sciences, art and advertising. On the other hand, the complexity of the subject is that in the modern natural sciences, despite many approaches, there is no common understanding of this phenomenon, but many researchers disagree, even in its definition.
Here are some definitions of fear of academic sources, which can be conventionally regarded as generally accepted.
Fear - an emotion that arises in situations of threats to biological or social survival of the individual and directed at the source of real or imagined danger. [1]
Fear - the state of strong anxiety, restlessness, mental confusion before any danger, misfortune, etc.; fear. [2]
Authors of this article the phenomenon of fear interested for several reasons:
- Fear is the emotional expression and manifestation of mental activity, apparently carrying the same strong functional load, meaning that it would be interesting to interpret in terms of Socionics.
- The theme of fear is one of the most frequently encountered in the situation socionic diagnosis, so a good understanding of the phenomenon of fear can be productive in determining TIM psyche.
- An interesting possibility of practical use socionic approach to the phenomenon of fear, for example, through advisory work.
The purpose of this paper is to propose a possible theoretical approach to the phenomenon of fear in terms of system Socionics, as well as to present practical materials that may be of interest to the subject of study. In conclusion, the authors offer a method of using a list of fears for the preparation of a working hypothesis TIM psyche in the diagnostic interview.
Theoretical background
One of the points of view in considering the psychology of fear as a mechanism of protection. The emotional pain (fear), is a protective mechanism of the psyche, as well as physical pain is a protective mechanism of the physical body. Deeply and comprehensively covered in the theme of fear of esoteric teachings. It is believed that all the fears - there are different views of deep-seated fear - fear of death. Fear - a common human emotion (in this case, we mean no aspect Jae, and signals the mind to control the activity of organisms).
In this article we will consider the phenomenon of fear of socionic point of view. During typing, the experts were seen repeated scoring of fears of low-dimensional functions. In accordance with the system model of the structure of the psyche, small functions are in the control unit, decide to "my problem is / is not my problem", "I can / can not. [3] If the task for execution, control is transferred to the multidimensional unit. In this paper, the authors proceed from the idea that man controls (force it to start moving in any direction, take any action) 2 principle: pain and pleasure. The pain the man leaves, the pleasure is drawn. The global mechanism is reflected in the Model A at the level of low-dimensional control blocks: superid - pleasure (f.5 - suggestion), superego - the pain (f.4 - THC). We assume that the mechanism of fear is linked with the energy of the system (mind, body). Less effective ways of processing information - more energy-intensive. Fear - is a mechanism for the disposal of the psyche of the energy-intensive areas. Normally, the body has a tendency to avoid the recurrence of pain and having the experience of psychic pain, creates a zone of fear to designate the area of avoidance.
Experimental Materials
While working on the definition of TEAM psyche site SHSS (Школа Системной Соционики) were accumulated working materials, when considering that it was observed that there were fears in one-dimensional functions (Illustration 4 and 5). SHSS Working Group decided to investigate this question in detail. The study was conducted on respondents whose TIM known and tested, knowledgeable model A, review your TIM and watching their reactions with socionic point of view, this introspection specialists in Socionics. Attended by 27 people. Respondents were asked to describe their fears in one-dimensional functions. Under pain was invited to understand the uneasy feeling of expectation that you can get in this aspect the situation. Do not just unpleasant, but sadly, dreary, oppressive state. Fear = heartache.
In this study, we considered one-dimensional functions, because these features are most clearly (clearly) are manifested fears, though not rule out fears of other small size features.
Description of observations
Here are observations obtained during the study period, in the form of working notes.
Fear is not only in the fourth, and fifth in the function
From the theoretical premises of the most fear could be expected in the fourth function. What is clearly reflected in the name of the fourth function, as "painful. Morbidity causes fear, fear of causing pain.
Contrary to expectations, the greatest number of fears of the most "painful" in the model - fax. 4, as a result of the survey, we received no fewer manifestations of fears f.5. The question arises, what can be wrong with such a psychologically "attractive" block - superide? We assume that this - the fear of loss of pleasure, individually meaningful (value), the desire to retain the desired situation.
Sometimes respondents described the fear of the fourth and fifth of the functions together - two as one. One can assume that the cases falling in the aspect of the situation both one-dimensional functions is a strong blow to the psyche and are remembered as terrifying. There were descriptions of situations on the two functions of a macro aspects (eg, BE and Jae). Often description sounds from all fear of a small block (or superego superid).
Quotes:
LII: "I thought about a fifth (function). Rather, fear not for myself - what you do wrong, and fears, stokes the fourth, only to Jae. That is: I'm not the gift said that terrible aggressive crowd than the individual. One person - there is a faint hope that it will be possible to reason (in BC, apparently). A crowd of people are - when the arguments of reason can not hear, is the herd instinct. And it soon - energy, with angry and aggressive, they want to splash out. Of passion. I think this is a minus for Jae, who wants to avoid, and which compresses and anxiety, and fear. "
SEI: "Yes, the fear of mistakes tsp exactly is! But again, is in conjunction with the CHI (or BL) - all will see how I stuffed a fool.
FEL: "But when" doing nothing "attacks longing of empty pastime (eg, away). There is a fear of being late, I hate when someone is late. I do not like surprises. I hate it when something happens, and I still do not know what it was all over, and I someone starts to tell everything in detail, how all this happened. Blin, first epilogue that I already knew what it was all over, and then normally could hear how it was, but I'm in the same voltage until the end of the story did not live that long. So I always made from the end to tell. " (Block BI and Jae)
Sometimes the fear of the fifth function of the perceived stronger than the fear of the fourth function.
YOU: "By Jae somehow do not recall explicit fears. Compared with the CHI is definitely more confident. Or maybe I just do not understand that there is a fear of Che, can I have it and there, but I just do not know what it is so called. "
In some of the respondents clearly the fear of the fifth function, while others - as if it is not there. What does it depend? From life experience? From the conditions in which filled the fifth function? From the number obtained by the negative experience?
Renaming, denial and rejection, exclusion (forgetting), masked under the aspect of the multidimensional function
There is a property of the mind to forget the terrible situation. It is difficult to immediately remember the fear, if at the moment a person is not in such a situation or event has not happened recently. Perhaps rapidly replacing the painful situation of suggestive features, as fears will hinder the fundamental problem - suggestion. Although not exclude the displacement and f.4 (see example above). These observations require additional study on a larger number of respondents.
Quotes:
LII: "And by Jae - do not even know. Apparently, I have it so one-dimensional and unconscious, that memory is nothing on the subject of inadequate expression of emotions. Maybe something once and it was, but I can not remember now. Either they are out of politeness to me it is not pointed to remember.
FEL: "I remember that sometimes I say that on the fifth (function) has no worse than fourth. I do remember that the so-evaluated this feature, but now everything seems dispersed. Memory seems to quickly erase this negative.
Since the nature of fear is aimed at excluding or avoiding undesirable situations, it is sometimes difficult to identify the true aspect of fear under the guise of filling. There is a desire to formulate fear (rejection) in other words.
Quotes:
SEI: "But the fifth is not fear, but rather a general reluctance to be assessed, the rejection of any evaluations of - neither bad nor good. No need to evaluate me! Maybe this is fear and there? "
EII: "You know, it is not as fear works, but as a distraction. If you want to do something completely unfamiliar without clear instructions to act, it is unclear what snatch. Do not see the possible negative effects, and when confronted with them, it is not the most pleasant.
LIE: "... No more fears, and doubts ... Postfactum is crowding out, as if there was nothing like that, especially when the experience is small it is in a particular manifestation.
A characteristic phenomenon is the non-recognition of fear. Often during typing, we have seen the desire tipiruemogo "cover up" their small-size features a demonstration of fearlessness. It shows excessive samouvernnost in perspective. Experienced tipirovschik always tell a calm confidence of a multidimensional function of assertive, unapologetic, hard-confidence in low-dimensional functions. This protective mechanism of the psyche. Most people are not aware of this protection. He is so blind that even fully coping with the situation, argues the opposite. And pierce armor so it can be impossible (and unnecessary), while the man himself does not want to deal with their fears.
There is an idea that other people must have the same fears. This view derives from the peculiarities of information processing one-dimensional function. Man relies only on its own experience, individual perception, can not look at the situation "through different eyes, no idea how to respond differently.
LII: "By the fourth - the fear to face the unwarranted aggression. Suddenly. From one person - it flowers. It is terrible - this crowd. Football fans or the Nazi authorities still somehow keep track of, but here's teenage street crime, when their people 10 or more: drunk or obkurennye. This is another world, they are in another dimension ... But I think that anyone would be scared, not necessarily painful ChS-nick.
There are cases when the true fear, which is in low-dimensional functions "masked" by the fear of a multidimensional function. There is a "translation arrow". Fear is announced with a substitution of concepts.
Thus, initially voiced fear (sensing a second quadra) "I - a bad mother and daughter, ie I'm poor to fulfill their "duties" inherent in the social role "in the identification of the causes was the following transformation:
"I had a situation where a child psychologist told me that I - a bad mother. This was unexpected, because I came "to pull" and not for advice and for help for the school. The situation is somewhat clouded, but I well remember my feelings after her surprise-accusatory words, they say, how well you can and all that. I left a bag deal a blow to the head, and already at home in his voice roared and beat the punching bag. Yes, nothing terrible, I like and do. In her opinion, I must and was obliged to tell his son to adoption, biological papa, a former family and so on.
"I think I got it. My parents have two children. My elder brother is not native to my father. And it told me how terrible and shameful fact. My brother was really worried when accidentally found out about it. In addition, his brother and father at that time relations have deteriorated sharply. And mama annealed about compulsory communion with his own father. And. I was just a white-hot shame that my ex-husband was never interested in her son, even out of politeness. As if he were a leper. "
An interesting topic for research may become a theme of fear in the dream.
Perhaps such studies will help identify low-dimensional functions.
Quotes:
ESI: "There are even a number of typical dreams. The overall plot - suddenly remembered that something must be done, but no time:
* Exam tomorrow, I'm not ready and just remembered about the exam;
* Need to buy train tickets, and ticket office is about to be closed;
* Then somewhere riding on a train and came to the wrong
* Felt that the risk can pick up the front, secure, and then suddenly she appeared behind him, but not in the stress that came behind him, and that it arose because I was, say, the second door is not locked.
In dreams, fear usually CHI (not taken into account) + FE (no time).
FEL: "I always sleep somewhere not have time. Eternal Nightmare ".
