Aversive Situations: Challenge and Self-doubt

Christian Bourion

Chapter Chapter 2 in Emotional Logic and Decision Making, 2005, pp 39-84 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract When a situation immediately creates fear, anxiety or distress, the logic of action becomes emotional. The first step is to ask oneself if it is possible to escape the situation, and, if that’s not possible, it must be faced. But even in the latter case, the resistance to obstruction is not unlimited and the actor could — under the influence of persistent factors — be discouraged and left unable to continue.
