EI cover story: Information anxiety: Fact, fiction or fallacy?
It's not just information overload. Anxiety is a result of not being able to find information, existing or otherwise!
Have you ever wondered what information-related issue creates the most anxiety amongst middle managers? The fact that information overload would be near the top of the list might surprise you.
In advance of 2008, Basex, a knowledge economy research and advisory firm, named information overload as the expected problem-of-the-year. They estimated that over the course of 2008, an estimated $650bn would be lost in the
It is clear that Basexs problem-of-the-year declaration makes information overload a timely and relevant issue, but this should not come as a revelation since many of you have been bombarded with e-mails and articles about it. In fact, a Google search of information overload results in a list containing more than 2,000,000 entries. When this search is limited to Google Scholar, the list still contains 224,000 entries.
Despite information overloads characterisation as the usual suspect, recent research suggests overload is just the tip of the iceberg and other information-related issues create more stress for middle managers.
Whats worse than info overload?
So what could possibly be worse than information overload? Clearly, many managers seem to be swamped by the quantity of information in their organisations. A KPMG knowledge management study reported that two-thirds of the sample complained of information overload. A second study determined that 38 per cent of the surveyed managers waste a substantial amount of time locating information and that 43 per cent of the managers delayed decisions because of too much information.
A Gartner Research report suggested that a major driver of this problem is distraction, since many managers dwell on information that is entertaining but not informative, or easily available but not of high quality. A myriad of other studies report similar disturbing findings which appear to be information related.
Over the last four years a series of studies were conducted with a view to determining what information-related challenges concern middle managers. The results are very telling and should serve as a wake-up call for executives and information architects. As it turns out, many middle managers report access to information as the number one culprit.
In this case, access to information is not the field of study pertaining to free and open access to information, nor is it about legislation to ensure the public has access to government information. Both of these concepts are very important and require further attention; however, neither is the one thing that will make a big difference in the short term.
We refer to access to information as a component of information anxiety described by Richard Wurman two decades ago.
Of course, Wurman was not the first to consider this idea. The broad issue of information or knowledge anxiety and its effects on individuals and organisations has been studied since at least 1605. Possibly the first mention of this challenge was in Sir Francis Bacons book entitled The Advancement of Learning where he wrote That in spacious knowledge there is much contristation, and that he that increaseth knowledge increaseth anxiety. It is easy to ask yourself when reading this passage just how much has changed over the last quincentenary. Surely, we are not experiencing the same challenges of the Colonial Era when it comes to information and its effects.
Black hole between info and knowledge
It was nearly 400 years until the term information anxiety reemerged in the popular press as the title of Richard Wurmans best-selling book of 1989. Wurman defined information anxiety as the black hole between data and knowledge, a definition that attracted the attention of many organisational leaders as many were struggling with challenges of organisational memory loss.
Indeed, this phrase inspired the recent academic volume entitled Building Organizational Knowledge: Will We Know What We Knew a rather sad testament to the fact that many organisations are so overwhelmed with their information holdings that they often forget what they once knew. This may clarify, to a degree, how NASA led the way to the moon but has now admitted that they have forgotten how to get there. Ironically, shortly after NASAs admission,
According to Wurman, there are five components of information anxiety: not understanding information; feeling overwhelmed by the amount of information to be understood; not knowing if certain information exists; not knowing where to find information; and knowing exactly where to find the information, but not having the key to access it. Other recent knowledge management studies suggest this wider classification is more relevant to the challenges of the 21st century. For example, the authors of Gartner Researchs Information Overload Survey concluded there are four information issues affecting competition: siloed information; too much information; unindexed information; and ineffective searching procedures.
As interesting, intuitive and insightful as Wurmans hypothetical notion seemed, there was no empirical evidence to support his hypothesis. As a result, the concept was considered by some to be pure fiction, perhaps building upon Bacons unsubstantiated claim of four centuries earlier, and relegated to the abyss of business hype.
However, it appears the wise words of Richard Wurman seem to resonate at the natural harmonic frequency of so many organisations across all the countries of the world. Those who are familiar with the engineering concept of a natural harmonic frequency will remember this is the single, repeated frequency that will wreck havoc upon a mechanical structure and was ultimately responsible for the
How can info be so destructive?
But how can information be so destructive? To understand this oxymoron, it is necessary to have a better understanding of this complex term. While most researchers use the term information, others have examined the issue from additional perspectives; specifically, they have studied information anxiety, a subcategory of information overload, using references to such things as written text, ideas, knowledge, data, or even things.
Because there are so many of these terms, categorisation and definition becomes somewhat difficult. Should information anxiety be measured by tangible evidence such as the number of books, or is it more effective to examine the issue through abstract measurement of concepts such as ideas or facts?
Some researchers have concluded that quantity, while an important consideration, is by no means the primary variable when measuring information anxiety. For example, Schick, Gordon and Haka suggested constraining the time to do a particular task to levels below what is required is a factor, while Wurman introduced the concept of information anxiety derived from too little information rather than too much information.
This is important because it differs from conventional wisdom and opens up an additional avenue for analysis, the doubt regarding whether a particular piece of information actually exists.
Additionally, the focus on overload oftentimes leads managers to mistakenly conclude that technology can solve their problems by reducing the overall amount of information, which may only exacerbate a too-little anxiety problem. It is essential to understand the problem is far more complicated and goes beyond the simple issue of quantity.
Given the surprising lack of empirical research, we set off to set the record straight. In the spirit of the television series Myth Busters, we wanted to answer the question, once and for all, does Wurmans idea of information anxiety really exist?
To answer this nagging question, our initial project considered the construct of information anxiety and its impact on Canadian government middle managers. The most interesting finding of this project was that the middle managers reported accessing information (a subcomponent of information anxiety) as a far more significant problem than information overload (also a subcomponent of information anxiety).
Information anxiety fact or myth?
One of the conclusions from the study was the correlation between the technical and managerial aspects of the problem, with specific emphasis on the role of management in resolving the issue. These findings suggest information anxiety is not fiction, but rather a fact of 21st century organisations.
Of course, the narrow scope of the first project demanded further study, especially given the homogeneity of the population under examination (Canadian Public Service middle managers). To continue the exploration, it was necessary to consider different populations.
The second study was set in the
Although there were some similarities in the findings of the two studies, the second project challenged the original findings and suggested that information anxiety might be synonymous with information overload. Though somewhat disappointing, the second study added to the body of knowledge, despite the discovery that our original conclusion about information anxiety might be a fallacy.
After a two-year hiatus, the research recommenced with a project considering mid-level officers of the United States Air Force located in Maxwell Air Force Base in
With regards to the changes in the Air Force population, many of the conclusions drawn raise additional questions. Specifically, although the level of information anxiety dropped a statistically significant amount during a two-year span, this may be attributable to many different reasons. The locations of the analysis, Luke AFB versus Maxwell AFB, may have been a significant consideration. In addition, the fact that the Maxwell sample was composed entirely of USAF officers who were much older and possessed a much higher degree of post-secondary education than the primarily enlisted sample at Luke may have caused the drop.
Additionally, the Maxwell sample was comprised of personnel competitively selected to attend an advanced professional military school. The same factors that led to their selection may, in fact, have mitigating effects on the levels of information anxiety they recognise and display.
Similarly, when the results of this study are compared to the first study in order to measure the changes in society as a whole, further questions arise. Why were the levels relatively similar between the first study and third study? One explanation may again rest in the realm of education level. As stated above, the education level of the sample in third study was very high, with a full 100 per cent possessing at least a bachelors degree. Likewise, the original study also had a high level of post-secondary education, with 75.2 per cent possessing at least a bachelors degree. This is in contrast to the second study sample which only resulted in 10.6 per cent of respondents possessing a bachelors degree or higher. This is significant and may point to an area requiring further analysis and study.
So what does all of this mean?
Info anxiety is a fact of life.
Are the two terms overload and information anxiety synonymous or are they very different? Well, here is what we know. Information anxiety is an intuitive fact of life in the modern workplace, but to what magnitude? The combined findings of these three studies indicate that information anxiety has remained relatively unchanged across society. There is clear evidence to suggest that certain variables may affect the level of information anxiety, but to what extent is difficult to predict at this point. Understanding these variables could pay huge dividends in the development of approaches to deal with work-related concepts such as stress and job performance.
Addressing overload alone not sound strategy.
Perhaps one of the most important findings is that focusing on information overload alone is not a sound strategy. The focus on overload alone seems to imply a technological solution to reduce the quantity of information, perhaps by eliminating duplicate data. This may ease the size of the problem and may well be a part of the ultimate solution; however, the challenge is more complex and not merely an issue of quantity. Simply reducing the quantity of information will do nothing to eliminate managers concerns of not knowing where to find information.
All we know for sure: Bacon was right.
At this point, it is not possible to pronounce whether information anxiety is a fact, fiction or fallacy. Clearly, there is some empirical evidence that the construct developed by Wurman has merit; however, the conflicting results of these studies mean that more research is required. Ironically, after more than 400 years of learning we may not be any further forward than when Bacon wrote That in spacious knowledge there is much contristation, and that he that increaseth knowledge increaseth anxiety.

It's hard to keep your pants up, when your baby bump conspires with gravity to push them down! Belly Ups® maternity suspenders solve the problem, neatly anchoring your waistband to your bra. They're comfortable, undetectable, and they won't snag even delicate fabrics. Your maternity clothes will fit and look better, and you'll keep wearing them after baby is born. Keeps pants from sagging (they're great for low-rise waistbands), skirts from twisting, and bras from riding up. One size fits most. Imported. See Product Details

About Me Parent of Two or More Children
I have been DREAMING of a product that functions like this- actually before I found these I was thinking I should INVENT something because I had so many great pairs of maternity jeans that just would NOT stay up. No more saggy bum! These are easy to use, dont slip off (I clip mine to the actual jean part of my pants, right where the jean meets the stretchy belly panel), price is obviously right. I will be giving these as gifts & recommending to all my pregnant friends. Love them.

In efforts to eat healthier and shop healthier and be healthier in general. It's REALLY hard to find a healthy snack that you enjoy. I mean potato chips are easier. But I really like crackers and snacks like that, I just haven't found many I enjoy. UNTIL 34 Degrees came along. They are crispbread, but it's almost like a wafer/cracker!
I received 2 packages for sample. I received the Sesame and the Whole Grain.
Sesame was by far my favorite. These are great! They pretty much melt in your mouth, they're really thin too like wafers. Even though they're thin, they are mighty!
I was craving a snack, so I opened up the sesame I had 15 of those little wafers and I was satisfied! I wasn't full on hungry when I started, but as a snack it was GREAT and very satisfying. I didn't try them with dips or anything like that, they were so good on their own.
They have many flavors to choose from including Natural, Lemon Zest, Rosemary, Cracked Pepper and the 2 I received!
Serving size is about 19 crackers and the Sesame has 140 calories in those 19 crackers! That's not bad for a snack.
Price: Pack of 6 is $18.46 at Amazon
Overall: ***** I loved these little things!
34 degrees has offered one Mommy Of 1 and Counting reader the chance to win a case which is one of each 6 flavors!

Two companies run by their founders for the last 30 years recently had to replace their CEO's. Both were forced to make these changes in response to a death and a dramatic decline in shareholder value. In comparing how each of these companies handled the succession planning at the very top of the business we can learn some valuable lessons.
Faced with rapidly declining share price, lower market share, aggressive competition and shareholder demands both Lazaridis and Balsillie stepped aside in January of 2012 and put their handpicked replacement Thorsten Heins in charge of turning around the fortunes of one of the biggest technology companies in Canada. (In 2007 RIM had a larger market cap than RBC.) This left many business analysts scratching their heads and trying to figure out just who was Thorsten Heins. Hired by RIM in 2007 from Siemens, Heins had three short senior operating positions in RIM's handheld, product engineering and sales / business development divisions before being appointed as CEO.
Knowing that their founder had serious health problems, it was clear to everyone, even my son who is a shareholder, that Tim Cook would eventually take over the company when Steve Jobs stepped down from his role as CEO. So to no one's surprize when Mr. Jobs passed away in 2011, Mr. Cook seamlessly transitioned into the role as CEO of Apple. Hired by Apple in 1998 Mr. Cook is credited with restructuring Apple's approach to manufacturing and was promoted to the position of COO in 2007. He also was given the CEO position during Mr. Jobs' medical leaves during the first decade of this century.
Key Learning's
Mr. Cook had nine years with the company to make significant contributions to the business success before being promoted to COO in 2007. He also had a chance to step into the role as CEO for brief periods before taking on the role on a full time basis. Mr. Cook's transition to the top position was accepted both by Apple personnel and the industry analysts that watch the company, and had limited to no effect on the Top Leaders within the organization or the company's share price.
Succession planning requires organizations to identify their top talent early in their careers and give those individuals the assignments and projects that, when delivered, will make them promotable when the opportunity arises. I bet you that the Board at Apple already is working on who will succeed Mr. Cook and RIM will begin the search for their next CEO if Thorsten cannot execute the turnaround that is required. Who do you think did the best job of planning to succeed in the future?

I think I'm approximately 9dpo. I've been having a lot of symptoms---such as, sore breasts, cramps, sharp pains on the right side, bloating, gassy, waves of nausea, fatigue.
I was just wondering if these are normal symptoms to be having after ovulation?
Also, when should I take a hpt? I took one this morning- (knowing it was probably too early) and got a BFN.

There's a new poll out of Michigan Republicans and, like New Hampshire and Iowa, it has Romney out to a big lead among GOP primary voters. From the Free Press [2]:
WASHINGTON -- Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has surged to become the clear GOP front-runner in Michigan, his native state, a new poll shows.
"He's the it candidate for right now," said Dick Bennett, president of Manchester, N.H.-based American Research Group, which conducted the poll of 500 Republicans and 100 independent voters who said they were likely to vote in Michigan's Jan. 15 GOP primary.
Romney had the support of 39% of those surveyed, compared with 13% for former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, 12% for former U.S. Sen. Fred Thompson of Tennessee and 9% for Sen. John McCain of Arizona. The poll was taken Saturday through Tuesday and has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.
Long story short, it doesn't seem to be hurting Romney's chances that Michigan has decided to move its primary up to mid January. If his lead in these three early states holds [3], he would be three for three going into SC on January 19th, (or four for four, if you count his lead in Nevada, which will be holding an early January caucus).
While he's been much lower in SC than these other states, he has been moving up, surely, albeit slowly. But considering his campaign just began a major media buy in the Palmetto State, you've got to figure he'll be better positioned there in a few months, and ready to take advantage of any "bounce" that comes from doing so well in these other early states.
(full disclosure, I'm on the Romney wagon)

I purchased a groupon for this restaurant and went in the middle of the week at about 7 pm with my child and husband. It took almost 18 minutes to seat us even though we were the only ones standing there, 27 minutes to get us a menu, we had to waive somone down to take our drink orders, wave someone down again to take our food orders after waiting so long.... I was timing all of this as it really got ridiculous. The food was cold when we got it, was okay but curry out of a can at home would have been better, and the bell pepper in the curry still had the store sticker on it, cooked in with the curry. We left at 9 pm when they closed, which the meal should have taken 45 minutes at most. I would have left, had I not bought the groupon already. I have never not given a tip before, this was the first time I didn't give a tip :(
Well it used to be a great store until prices went sky high! Then I applied for a job there and met the arrogant, male shavanist pig that interviewed me and now I have an entirely different perspective of the place. I was asked questions like "are you married" and when he noticed my zip code on the application he said, "oh you live in the ritzy Broadmoor neighborhood!" I was appalled! He told me if I were hired it was my job to make the store money, not save the customers money by teaching them how to do something or sew. I would have to ask his permission on most everything. Maybe that's why the employee moral is so low! I know I sure wouldn't want to work for the man! Everything is so much cheaper at Wal Mart or Hancock Fabrics. And the people smile and help you.
Fast FUD! Cheap Coffee (Organo Gold). No Dessert! Focaccia on pannini tasted like cardboard. You do get a bag of chips and a pickle probably from Sam's Club or Cosco. Make sure you stop in the restroom first for paper towels...napkins are like tissue paper. Overpriced! Never Again!

From beginning to end, Amy was an amazing broker! She was very consistent and easy to work with. I didn't have a great budget for the type of apartment I was looking for, and I was a bit unrealistic. But she still worked patiently with me. I ended up spending a little more over my budget, but I love my apartment. I'm glad Amy showed me a bunch of options. She even followed up with me to see how my move-in went.

Amy was by far the best agent I've ever worked with. She's honest and really works closely with you to help you find an apartment. I met Amy a week before my moving date. Within 3 days of meeting her she took me to see a bunch of apartments, assisted me step by step in the application process, and arranged the lease signing. I will definitely work with her again next time I'm looking to move!

Ferrari Formula One Team Principal Stefano Domenicali has admitted that his team needs a strong start to the 2013 season if they are to challenge for the title.
Number one driver Fernando Alonso was in the running for the Driver's Championship until the final race of the 2012 season despite making a sluggish start to the campaign, and Domenicali believes that the same mistakes mustn't be made again this year.
He added in an interview with Auto Motor und Sport that the initial part of the 2013 season would be pivotal for teams who want to succeed this year, before the respective research and development departments start focusing on their 2014 cars, which will be subjected to several rules changes.
"What happened to us last year in the Jerez test will not be repeated this year," he noted.
"Next season will be decided in the first races. The teams will do their work for 2013 and then move on to the preparations for 2014.
"I think that this switch will happen in July, so you will need to start the year well."

Barbara Natterson-Horowitz and Kathryn Bowers in Salon:
The earliest single-celled organisms on Earth simply cloned themselves. Some of their descendants still do. But as complex multicelled organisms evolved and eventually "discovered" the ability to mix their gametes, they gained a giant genetic advantage. Since these ancient creatures lived in the sea, the earliest sex was a straightforward process of spraying sperm and eggs into the water. The lucky few connected.
In that massive free-for-all, the fittest sperm reached the eggs and were rewarded with the prize of bringing their DNA into natural selection's next round. Sometimes the fittest sperm were the strongest swimmers. Sometimes they were the ones deposited nearest the eggs. Others developed ways to follow molecular scent pathways to find the eggs. Or they bundled together in teams to improve their timing and accuracy. As sperm perfected ingenious rudders, tails, chemical markers and swimming strategies, the genital hardware that ejected them was evolving, too.

The science curriculum can vary quite a lot from state to state and district to district, but in general, yes, evolution is taught in at least a cursory way in American public schools.
Are students in the U.S. taught evolution, or is the subject ignored?
Good news definitely.
Great move, England!
Exactly. =)

Defence mechanisms
In Freudian psychoanalytic theory, defence mechanisms (or defense mechanisms) are psychological strategies brought into play by the unconscious mind[1] to manipulate, deny or distort reality (through processes including, but not limited to, repression, identification, or rationalization),[2] and to maintain a socially acceptable self-image or self-schema.[3]
Healthy persons normally use different defenses throughout life. An ego defense mechanism becomes pathological only when its persistent use leads to maladaptive behavior such that the physical and/or mental health of the individual is adversely affected. The purpose of ego defense mechanisms is to protect the mind/self/ego from anxiety and/or social sanctions and/or to provide a refuge from a situation with which one cannot currently cope.[4]
Defence mechanisms are unconscious coping mechanisms that reduce anxiety generated by threats from unacceptable impulses.[5]
Defence mechanisms are sometimes confused with coping strategies.[6]
One resource used to evaluate these mechanisms is the Defense Style Questionnaire (DSQ-40).[7][8]
Contents |
Structural model: Id, ego, and superego [edit]
The concept of id impulses comes from Sigmund Freud's structural model. According to this theory, id impulses are based on the pleasure principle: instant gratification of one's own desires and needs. Sigmund Freud believed that the id represents biological instinctual impulses in ourselves, such as aggression (Thanatos or the Death instinct) and sexuality (Eros or the Life instinct).
For example, when the id impulses (e.g. desire to have sexual relations with a stranger) conflict with the superego (e.g. belief in societal conventions of not having sex with unknown persons), unsatisfied feelings of anxiousness or feelings of anxiety come to the surface. To reduce these negative feelings, the ego might use defence mechanisms (conscious or unconscious blockage of the id impulses).
Freud believed that conflicts between these two structures resulted in conflicts associated with psychosexual stages.
Definitions of individual psyche structures [edit]
Freud proposed three structures of the psyche or personality:
- Id: The id is the unconscious reservoir of the libido, the psychic energy that fuels instincts and psychic processes. It is a selfish, childish, pleasure-oriented part of the personality with no ability to delay gratification.
- Superego: The superego contains internalized societal and parental standards of "good" and "bad", "right" and "wrong" behaviour. They include conscious appreciations of rules and regulations as well as those incorporated unconsciously.
- Ego: The ego acts as a moderator between the pleasure sought by the id and the morals of the superego, seeking compromises to pacify both. It can be viewed as our "sense of time and place".
Primary and secondary processes [edit]
In the ego, there are two ongoing processes. First there is the unconscious primary process, where the thoughts are not organized in a coherent way, the feelings can shift, contradictions are not in conflict or are just not perceived that way, and condensations arise. There is no logic and no time line. Lust is important for this process. By contrast, there is the conscious secondary process, where strong boundaries are set and thoughts must be organized in a coherent way. Most conscious thoughts originate here.
The reality principle [edit]
Id impulses are not appropriate in civilized society, so society presses us to modify the pleasure principle in favour of the reality principle; that is, the requirements of the external world.
Formation of the superego [edit]
The superego forms as the child grows and learns parental and social standards. The superego consists of two structures: the conscience, which stores information about what is "bad" and what has been punished, and the ego ideal, which stores information about what is "good" and what one "should" do or be.
The ego's use of defense mechanisms [edit]
When anxiety becomes too overwhelming, it is then the place of the ego to employ defence mechanisms to protect the individual. Feelings of guilt, embarrassment and shame often accompany the feeling of anxiety. In the first definitive book on defence mechanisms, The Ego and the Mechanisms of Defense (1936),[9] Anna Freud introduced the concept of signal anxiety; she stated that it was "not directly a conflicted instinctual tension but a signal occurring in the ego of an anticipated instinctual tension".[9]
The signaling function of anxiety is thus seen as a crucial one and biologically adapted to warn the organism of danger or a threat to its equilibrium. The anxiety is felt as an increase in bodily or mental tension and the signal that the organism receives in this way allows it the possibility of taking defensive action regarding the perceived danger. Defence mechanisms work by distorting the id impulses into acceptable forms, or by unconscious or conscious blockage of these impulses.[9]
Theories and classifications [edit]
The list of defence mechanisms is huge and there is no theoretical consensus on the number of defence mechanisms. Classifying defence mechanisms according to some of their properties (i.e. underlying mechanisms, similarities or connections with personality) has been attempted. Different theorists have different categorizations and conceptualizations of defence mechanisms. Large reviews of theories of defence mechanisms are available from Paulhus, Fridhandler and Hayes (1997)[10] and Cramer (1991).[11] The Journal of Personality published a special issue on defence mechanisms (1998).[12]
Otto F. Kernberg (1967) developed a theory of borderline personality organization of which one consequence may be borderline personality disorder. His theory is based on ego psychological object relations theory. Borderline personality organization develops when the child cannot integrate positive and negative mental objects together. Kernberg views the use of primitive defence mechanisms as central to this personality organization. Primitive psychological defences are projection, denial, dissociation or splitting and they are called borderline defence mechanisms. Also, devaluation and projective identification are seen as borderline defences.[13]
In George Eman Vaillant's (1977) categorization, defences form a continuum related to their psychoanalytical developmental level.[14] Vaillant's levels are:
- Level I - pathological defences (i.e. psychotic denial, delusional projection)
- Level II - immature defences (i.e. fantasy, projection, passive aggression, acting out)
- Level III - neurotic defences (i.e. intellectualization, reaction formation, dissociation, displacement, repression)
- Level IV - mature defences (i.e. humour, sublimation, suppression, altruism, anticipation)
Robert Plutchik's (1979) theory views defences as derivatives of basic emotions, which in turn relate to particular diagnostic structures. By his theory, reaction formation relates to joy (and manic features), denial relates to acceptance (and histrionic features), repression to fear (and passivity), regression to surprise (and borderline traits), compensation to sadness (and depression), projection to disgust (and paranoia), displacement to anger (and hostility) and intellectualization to anticipation (and obsessionality).[15]
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV) published by the American Psychiatric Association (1994) includes a tentative diagnostic axis for defence mechanisms.[16] This classification is largely based on Vaillant's hierarchical view of defences, but has some modifications. Examples include: denial, fantasy, rationalization, regression, isolation, projection, and displacement.
Vaillant's categorization of defence mechanisms [edit]
Level 1: Pathological [edit]
The mechanisms on this level, when predominating, almost always are severely pathological. These six defences, in conjunction, permit one to effectively rearrange external experiences to eliminate the need to cope with reality. The pathological users of these mechanisms frequently appear irrational or insane to others. These are the "psychotic" defences, common in overt psychosis. However, they are found in dreams and throughout childhood as well.
They include:
- Delusional Projection: Delusions about external reality, usually of a persecutory nature.
- Conversion: the expression of an intrapsychic conflict as a physical symptom; some examples include blindness, deafness, paralysis, or numbness. This phenomena is sometimes called hysteria.[17]
- Denial: Refusal to accept external reality because it is too threatening; arguing against an anxiety-provoking stimulus by stating it doesn't exist; resolution of emotional conflict and reduction of anxiety by refusing to perceive or consciously acknowledge the more unpleasant aspects of external reality.
- Distortion: A gross reshaping of external reality to meet internal needs.
- Splitting: A primitive defence. Negative and positive impulses are split off and unintegrated.
- Extreme projection: The blatant denial of a moral or psychological deficiency, which is perceived as a deficiency in another individual or group.
- Superiority Complex: A psychological defense mechanism in which a person's feelings of superiority counter or conceal his or her feelings of inferiority.
- Inferiority Complex: A behavior that is displayed through a lack of self-worth, an increase of doubt and uncertainty, and feeling of not measuring up to society's standards.
Level 2: Immature [edit]
These mechanisms are often present in adults. These mechanisms lessen distress and anxiety provoked by threatening people or by uncomfortable reality. Excessive use of such defences is seen as socially undesirable in that they are immature, difficult to deal with and seriously out of touch with reality. These are the so-called "immature" defences and overuse almost always leads to serious problems in a person's ability to cope effectively. These defences are often seen in major depression and personality disorders.
They include:
- Acting out: Direct expression of an unconscious wish or impulse in action, without conscious awareness of the emotion that drives that expressive behaviour.
- Fantasy: Tendency to retreat into fantasy in order to resolve inner and outer conflicts.
- Idealization: Unconsciously choosing to perceive another individual as having more positive qualities than he or she may actually have.[18]
- Passive aggression: Aggression towards others expressed indirectly or passively such as using procrastination.
- Projection: Projection is a primitive form of paranoia. Projection also reduces anxiety by allowing the expression of the undesirable impulses or desires without becoming consciously aware of them; attributing one's own unacknowledged unacceptable/unwanted thoughts and emotions to another; includes severe prejudice, severe jealousy, hypervigilance to external danger, and "injustice collecting". It is shifting one's unacceptable thoughts, feelings and impulses within oneself onto someone else, such that those same thoughts, feelings, beliefs and motivations are perceived as being possessed by the other.
- Projective identification: The object of projection invokes in that person precisely the thoughts, feelings or behaviours projected.
- Somatization: The transformation of negative feelings towards others into negative feelings toward self, pain, illness, and anxiety.
Level 3: Neurotic [edit]
These mechanisms are considered neurotic, but fairly common in adults. Such defences have short-term advantages in coping, but can often cause long-term problems in relationships, work and in enjoying life when used as one's primary style of coping with the world.
They include:
- Displacement: Defence mechanism that shifts sexual or aggressive impulses to a more acceptable or less threatening target; redirecting emotion to a safer outlet; separation of emotion from its real object and redirection of the intense emotion toward someone or something that is less offensive or threatening in order to avoid dealing directly with what is frightening or threatening. For example, a mother may yell at her child because she is angry with her husband.
- Dissociation: Temporary drastic modification of one's personal identity or character to avoid emotional distress; separation or postponement of a feeling that normally would accompany a situation or thought.
- Hypochondriasis: An excessive preoccupation or worry about having a serious illness.
- Intellectualization: A form of isolation; concentrating on the intellectual components of a situation so as to distance oneself from the associated anxiety-provoking emotions; separation of emotion from ideas; thinking about wishes in formal, affectively bland terms and not acting on them; avoiding unacceptable emotions by focusing on the intellectual aspects (e.g. isolation, rationalization, ritual, undoing, compensation, magical thinking).
- Isolation: Separation of feelings from ideas and events, for example, describing a murder with graphic details with no emotional response.
- Rationalization (making excuses): Where a person convinces him or herself that no wrong was done and that all is or was all right through faulty and false reasoning. An indicator of this defence mechanism can be seen socially as the formulation of convenient excuses - making excuses.
- Reaction formation: Converting unconscious wishes or impulses that are perceived to be dangerous or unacceptable into their opposites; behaviour that is completely the opposite of what one really wants or feels; taking the opposite belief because the true belief causes anxiety. This defence can work effectively for coping in the short term, but will eventually break down.
- Regression: Temporary reversion of the ego to an earlier stage of development rather than handling unacceptable impulses in a more adult way. (ex. Using whining as a method of communicating despite already having acquired the ability to speak with appropriate grammar)[19]
- Repression: The process of attempting to repel desires towards pleasurable instincts, caused by a threat of suffering if the desire is satisfied; the desire is moved to the unconscious in the attempt to prevent it from entering consciousness;[20] seemingly unexplainable naivety, memory lapse or lack of awareness of one's own situation and condition; the emotion is conscious, but the idea behind it is absent.[citation needed]
- Undoing: A person tries to 'undo' an unhealthy, destructive or otherwise threatening thought by acting out the reverse of unacceptable. Involves symbolically nullifying an unacceptable or guilt provoking thought, idea, or feeling by confession or atonement.
- Withdrawal: Withdrawal is a more severe form of defence. It entails removing oneself from events, stimuli, interactions, etc. under the fear of being reminded of painful thoughts and feelings.
- Upward and Downward Social Comparisons: A defensive tendency that people use as a means of self-evaluation. These individuals will look to another individual or comparison group who are considered to be worse off in order to dissociate themselves from perceived similarities and to make themselves feel better about their self or personal situation.
Level 4: Mature [edit]
These are commonly found among emotionally healthy adults and are considered mature, even though many have their origins in an immature stage of development. They have been adapted through the years in order to optimize success in life and relationships. The use of these defences enhances pleasure and feelings of control. These defences help us to integrate conflicting emotions and thoughts, whilst still remaining effective. Those who use these mechanisms are usually considered virtuous.
They include:
- Mindfulness: Adopting a particular orientation toward one's experiences in the present moment, an orientation that is characterized by curiosity, openness, and acceptance
- Altruism: Constructive service to others that brings pleasure and personal satisfaction.
- Anticipation: Realistic planning for future discomfort.
- Humour: Overt expression of ideas and feelings (especially those that are unpleasant to focus on or too terrible to talk about) that gives pleasure to others. The thoughts retain a portion of their innate distress, but they are "skirted round" by witticism, for example Self-deprecation.
- Identification: The unconscious modelling of one's self upon another person's character and behaviour.
- Introjection: Identifying with some idea or object so deeply that it becomes a part of that person.
- Sublimation: Transformation of negative emotions or instincts into positive actions, behaviour, or emotion. (ex. Playing a heavy contact sport such as football or rugby can transform aggression into a game)[19]
- Thought suppression: The conscious process of pushing thoughts into the preconscious; the conscious decision to delay paying attention to an emotion or need in order to cope with the present reality; making it possible to later access uncomfortable or distressing emotions whilst accepting them.

"It's great when you can get that line going," Anaheim coach Bruce Boudreau said. "It sort of brings energy to the rest of the lines. I was happy for them."
Anaheim goalie Viktor Fasth rebounded from his first career loss Monday at the Los Angeles Kings -- which followed an 8-0-0 start to his career -- by allowing just one goal: a beautiful wrist shot by Craig Smith off a pass from Kevin Klein midway through the second period.
"He (Fasth) made a big save early, when it was 1-0 or something, and it could've given them energy," Boudreau said. "That was a big turning point. You get that big save at the right time and it really helps."
NOTES: On Tuesday, Anaheim recalled Emerson Etem from Norfolk and reassigned Peter Holland to the AHL team. ... Nashville's Hal Gill (lower-body injury) missed the game, but Paul Gaustad played despite being questionable with an upper-body injury. ... The Ducks defeated the Predators 3-2 in a shootout Jan. 26 at Honda Center in Fasth's first career start. Fasth moved to 8-0 to start his career with another 3-2 shootout win over the Predators on Feb. 16 in Nashville. ... The Ducks also won 11 games in March 2006, when they went 11-4-1, and in March 2011, when they went 11-3. ... Rinne entered the game with three shutouts in his previous nine starts. ... Anaheim's seven straight home wins, the longest active streak in the NHL, are its most since Jan. 2012. ... The Predators have played in overtime an NHL-high 10 times in their first 21 games. ... Nashville coach Barry Trotz is the longest-tenured coach in the NHL at more than 14 years and 1,086 games and he trails San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich among coaches in the four major sports. ... Anaheim is one of three teams in the NHL that have 10 players with four or more goals this season. ... Three Ducks rank among the top 15 in the NHL in plus-minus rating: Francois Beauchemin and Sheldon Souray, tied for second at plus-13, and Koivu, tied for 12th at plus-10.

When I'm stuck in the house and have nothing better to do, I always turn to teen movies. Usually I stick with the classic John Hughes movies, but sometimes I can't help but be all about the 90s. These are just six of my favorite movies from that decade.
Clueless: I'll admit it now, I wanted to be Cher Horowitz so bad. I mean what girl doesn't want that lifestyle? Okay, well I can think of girls who wouldn't, but I definitely wouldn't mind having a closet that big full of all my favorite clothes, shoes, and accessories.
Clueless, $19.99 from Amazon
Empire Records: I think the main reason I enjoy this movie so much is that I have the biggest crush on young Ethan Embry. Okay that isn't the only reason, I actually enjoy the story told. That, and the cast is actually really great.
Empire Records, $19.98 from Amazon
Bring It On: I don't think I even knew what cheer-leading was before this movie. Though after seeing it, I wanted nothing more than to be a cheer-leader, which sadly was a short lived dream seeing as I had zero ability.
Bring It On (Widescreen Collector's Edition), $14.98 from Amazon
Can't Hardly Wait: Another movie with Ethan Embry *sigh*. I didn't get to have the cliched high school party scene, the parties I went to were never like that. I guess I'm just a sucker for the 'boy loves girl, girl doesn't know boy exists' cliche.
Can't Hardly Wait, $14.99 from Amazon
10 Things I Hate About You: This is probably one of the movies I've seen the most. The combination of young Heath Ledger and young Joseph Gordon-Levitt was enough to hook me, but they weren't the only thing keeping my attention. I felt like I could really relate to Kat Stratford, and that scene when she's reading her sonnet? Yeah, I cried.
10 Things I Hate About You, $14.99 from Amazon
Jawbreaker: There's just something about this movie that I really like. Maybe, it's the cattiness of the lead characters or the angst of high school, but all I know is that it's definitely one of my go to movies.
Jawbreaker, $9.95 from Amazon
These are just a few of my favorites, there are definitely a lot more. Do any of these movies make your list? If not, what are some of your favorite movies?
