Cognitive Dissonance01:38

Cognitive Dissonance

34.9K
Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Psychodynamic Perspectives on Personality

The psychodynamic perspective in psychology asserts that most personality functions operate unconsciously, outside of awareness. This means that the motives and emotions driving behavior often remain hidden, automatically buried in the unconscious mind as a defense mechanism to shield us from psychological distress.

Psychodynamic theorists argue that unconscious...

Freudian Psychology

1.7K
Sigmund Freud, an Austrian neurologist born in 1856, significantly influenced psychology through his exploration of the unconscious mind. His interest in patients suffering from hysteria and neurosis — conditions without apparent physical causes — led him to theorize the existence of an unconscious mind, a repository for feelings and urges beyond our awareness. Freud's innovative approach included techniques such as dream analysis, free association, and attention to slips of the...

Area of Science:

  • Military psychiatry
  • Psychological autopsy
  • Suicide prevention

Background:

  • Suicide in armed forces remains a concern despite preventive measures.
  • Psychological autopsies can reveal biopsychosocial factors in military suicides.
  • Limited research exists on suicide, not attempted suicide, in the Indian Armed Forces.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate psychosocial factors contributing to suicide in the armed forces using psychological autopsy.
  • To differentiate findings from previous studies focusing on attempted suicide.

Main Methods:

  • Conducted psychological autopsies on 16 suicide cases in a strategic location (February 2014 - July 2017).
  • Gathered data via scene visits, interviews, call records, social media, diaries, financial, service, and health records.

Main Results:

  • Majority of victims (9/16) were under 30 years old.
  • Firearms were the most common method (10/16).
  • Factors identified included family history of mental illness/suicide (3), past mental illness (3), substance abuse (2), behavioral changes (3), suicide notes (3), and expressed suicidal intent (5).

Conclusions:

  • Frontier service strain is not a primary stressor for suicide in this cohort.
  • Psychological autopsy is a valuable tool for understanding military suicide factors.
