Defensive Pride and Idealism

XXP

Authoritarian Ideology

Insecure Attachment and Narcissism

Reactive Zeal Religious rapture is a unifying state…“sand and grit of selfhood disappear” Excessively intense thoughts repress conflict…“mental dams”

  • Religious zeal is used as a displacement ‘goal’
  • Caused by important goal frustrations
  • Activates clear approach-motivation processes
  • Relieves sensitivity to uncertainty and anxiety
  • Liberates vigorous (myopic) action

“Self-Affirmation” Manipulations that Decrease Reactive Ideological Extremes

  • Love
  • Self-Worth
  • Values Affirmation
  • Group-Identification and Consensus
  • Same domains as defensive zeal (and stages)
  • Like zeal, self-affirmations relieve distress
  • Self-affirmations only work in the West
    • Among Eager, Idealistic People (see next)
