Psychology of Self Defense: 3 Pathological Threats



wilderness first aid card

A threat of injury to yourself is often seen as a threat in psychology of self-defense. 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 just three examples of pathological dangers. Read on to learn more about each of them.

Psychopaths don't care who gets hurt

Psychopaths won't care about anyone who gets hurt, unless you have a strong instinct to defend yourself. They have no remorse and don't care who is hurt. They don't care about the hurt they cause and won't feel bad about it. Psychopaths have a very grandiose sense of self, and they believe the rules of the world don't apply to them. These people will do whatever it takes to escape punishment, even harming others.

They don't care who gets hurt

Psychopaths on the other side don't care if anyone else is hurt in self defense and are more likely to be manipulative. They can create fear in the victim by creating fear and hiding their threats with stories of disappearances and family secrets. This manipulation strategy plays on victims' emotions and minds so that they comply with the bully.

Imperfect self defense

There is a big difference between ordinary and imperfect self-defense. 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 is different from ordinary self-defense. It only applies to situations in which an individual is trying defend themselves against a dangerous threat.

Forcing death

Self defense is allowed to use deadly force only if the victim is at risk of being seriously injured or even killed. To justify the use of deadly force, a rapist must threaten to harm the victim with a substantial risk of death or great bodily injury. A force can be considered fatal if it has four components. 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. Two exceptions to this rule are excessive force during the initial assault and withdrawal.


Motivational theory

R.W. Rogers in 1975, and then expanded in 1983. The protection motivation theory attempts predict why people make certain choices in stressful situations. The major topics covered were the prevention of smoking and the dangers 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. 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.
