Which of the following is not a criteria for good adjustment for a learner? Correct Answer None of the above

Adjustment is a process through which the individual maintains the balance among the factors affecting the fulfillment of his needs. It is a change in a person’s behavior or thinking. Adjustment is a modification or correction to reflect the actual conditions.

Important Points

Repression: Repression is the withdrawal from the consciousness of an unwanted idea, affect, or desire by pushing it down or repressing it, into the unconscious part of the mind. An example may be found in a case of hysterical amnesia, in which the victim has performed or witnessed some disturbing act and then completely forgotten the act itself and the circumstances surrounding it.

  • When a person excludes painful thoughts from his conscious awareness he uses repression.
  • Very often it has been considered as selective forgetting but it is selective remembering.
  • The matter one represses and refuses to include in the conscious awareness is not really forgotten.
  • In case a person sees the accidental sudden demise of a beloved friend or family member, this painful experience may be excluded from his conscious self leading him to become amnesic to this experience.
  • Repression occurs without the conscious intention or awareness of the person.
  • In suppression, the person consciously takes the decision not to express the feeling or to think about the disturbing event.
  • Repression is a significant self-defense mechanism through which the ego is being protected from sudden traumatic experiences till it becomes desensitized to the shock.
  • This mechanism helps the shocked person to control desires which are not acceptable to him or dangerous for himself.
  • At the same time, it alleviates the anxiety which is associated with such dangerous and unacceptable desire.
  • Repression may combine with other defense mechanisms in varying degrees.
  • When the repression mechanism fails, the ego tries more maladaptive defenses

Self-knowledge is a technique by which an individual fulfills his basic needs by associating himself emotionally with famous, persons or popular institutions.

  • By allying himself with popular persons he gets satisfaction, thereby overcomes his limitation and shortcomings.
  • Through this technique, he glorifies himself when his own goals are not fulfilled. For example, Varun feels proud to boast that he resides in the same street where Sachin Tendulkar does.

Self-control refers to people’s capacity to modulate their actions and responses, It is self-competence to organize and direct oneself and adjust oneself

Hence, we can conclude that all of the above are the criterion for good adjustment for a learner.
