Psychology of Self Defense – 3 Pathological Threats



wilderness first responder california

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 sometimes impeded because the threat is not based on who is being injured. Affirming an important value to oneself can change this perspective and reduce the perceived threat. Below are three examples. Learn more about each one.

Psychopaths don’t care about who is hurt

A psychopath won't care if you don't have an instinct for self-defense. They have no remorse and don't care who is hurt. They won't feel guilty about hurting someone and will not care if they get hurt. Psychopaths believe that the rules of the universe don't apply to their world. These people will do whatever it takes to escape punishment, even harming others.

Pathological - they don't care who gets hurt

Psychopaths are not concerned about the safety of others and can manipulate. Psychopaths instill fear in their victim. They often hide their threats with family secrets or stories of disappearances. This manipulation strategy will play on the victim's emotions and mind, so that they give into the bully's demands.

Imperfect self-defense

There are two types of self-defense: imperfect and normal. In situations where a person feels that he/she is in imminent danger, imperfect self-defense can be used to protect oneself. Unlike ordinary self-defense, though, this doctrine doesn't apply to every case, and is only appropriate in cases where an individual is trying to protect himself or herself from a deadly threat.

Deadly force

When self defense is being used, deadly force is permitted if the person using it believes that he/she will be seriously injured/killed. 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. A force that is unprovoked can be considered deadly. These elements are: Self defense must be justified by unprovoked attacks, reasonable fear of harm, or death, and force must only be used when necessary. There are two exceptions to the rule: excessive force during an initial attack or withdrawal.


Motivational theory

R.W. Rogers developed the protection motivation theory in 1975. This theory was later extended in 1983. The major topics covered were the prevention of smoking and the dangers of cancer. The safe use of pesticides, bicycle helmets and reducing caffeine intake were minor topics. The research shows that the psychological as well as physiological factors that impact self defense are the identical to other topics.

Refusal

It is a primitive defense mechanism. It can be used by itself or together with other subtle mechanisms to keep a person from having to deal with difficult emotions or areas in their lives. 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. Denial in self-defense can be dangerous.

How to Find Potable Drinkable Water in a Survival Situation

You can save your life by finding potable water in a life-threatening emergency. When you're in a survival situation, you need to know how to find potable water fast and efficiently. You will need to make sure you have enough water so that you can survive until help arrives. Lack of clean drinking water can cause dehydration, which could lead to death.

In this article, we'll go over some tips on finding potable water during a crisis. We'll cover what types of water sources there are and which ones are best suited for different situations. We'll discuss how to filter water and purify it for safe drinking. Finally, we will talk about how to store water for later.

What Are the Types of Water Sources Available?

If you are in the wild, there will likely be water sources nearby, including streams and lakes, rivers, springs or oceans. These water resources may be available all year round depending on where you live. You will need to take into account several factors when selecting the right water source.

First, you'll need to determine if you'll have an opportunity to collect fresh water. This means that you will need to assess whether you have easy access either to water from streams, rivers, lakes or the ocean. Second, consider whether or not you have access to clean water. It is best to avoid drinking water that has been contaminated by feces and urine. Third, you'll need to think about how much water you plan on needing. The amount you will require of water depends on several factors, including how long you intend to stay stranded, the temperature outside and inside, as well as how large your family. Fourth, you will need to determine how to transport the water. Some water sources aren't easily accessible, making transportation difficult. You might need to transport a large container of water up a steep hillside. You should also consider the weather conditions when selecting a water source. While a stormy day may mean you should not rely too heavily on rainwater to get water, a sunny day might permit you to collect water without concern about it being contaminated.
