Psychology of Self Defense: 3 Pathological Threats



primitive skills courses

In the psychology of self defense, the threat of injury to oneself is often interpreted as a threat to one's identity. The fact that the threat to one's identity is pathological means it doesn't care who is hurt, often hinders this defensive response. To change the perception of the threat, it is important to affirm a value that you hold. The following are three examples of pathological threats. Learn more about each one.

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 do not have any remorse for what they do and will not care who gets hurt. They will never feel bad about hurting anyone, and they will not care if the person they attack gets hurt. Psychopaths have a grandiose view of themselves and believe the world doesn't apply. These people will do anything to get away with it, even harming other people.

Pathological - they don't care who gets hurt

A psychopath on the other hand doesn't care about whether another person is hurt in self defence and will often manipulate. They create a sense of fear in their victim, and often veil their threats with stories of disappearances or family secrets. This manipulative strategy plays on the victim’s emotions and minds, so they succumb to the bully’s demands.

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. 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. But, there are exceptions: excessive force during initial attack and withdrawal.


Motivational theory

R.W. Rogers, in 1975. Later expanded in 1983. The protection motiv theory attempts to predict how people will react in stressful situations. Among the major topics were smoking cessation and the threat of cancer. Bike helmet use, reducing caffeine intakes, improving dental hygiene, pain management following dental surgery and safe pesticide usage were some minor topics. Research shows that self defense is affected by the same psychological and physiological factors as other topics.
