Topic 1. Interpersonal relationships

Purpose: Students to acquire basic information about the concepts of personality, relationships and interpersonal relationships.

Expected results: To improve the quality of communication in the classroom.

Supporting information: Interpersonal relationships are communication, friendship, closeness, connection between two or more people, which can be temporary or long-lasting. This closeness and friendship can be based on love, solidarity and support or some other type of social bond. Interpersonal relationships are formed in the context of social, cultural and other influences. The context can range from family, kinship ties, friendship, marriage, other emotional relationships, work, study, clubs, neighborhood and groups or places of entertainment.

Each person is a person, and interpersonal relations between people appear when persons begin to communicate with each other. Communication among all of you is important not only for the group and your class, but also for society, as the habits of proper, careful and kind communication will benefit you in both your professional and personal life.

Interaction, communication between people unfolds from the so-called defense mechanisms. This is mainly due to the fact that a person wants to evaluate himself in a positive way and the process of interactions with others always determines self-evaluation. Self-esteem is the result of improving a person's ability to relate objective reality to subjective reality (his inner world). It is associated with a person's evaluations of himself and his place among others ('How do I evaluate myself?', How do I think others evaluate me?').

Sometimes a person looks for options for protection, such as:

  1. Denies memories, past actions, i.e. everything that can cause anxiety, unpleasant feelings. In denial, the one who uses it falls into almost involuntary memory loss. This is self-deception.
  2. Masking – the true (real) motives of behavior are masked and replaced by others. In this situation, a person believes in himself.
  3. Rationalization - in it there is no rational action, and a person deceives himself that he is acting rationally. With him, the person who imitates does not just copy the model, but becomes a lich in his imaginationността, която моделира. Защитен механизъм е, защото идентификацията се появява, когато човек не може да приеме собствената си личност;
  4. The identification. Ultimately, as a result of this process, the person reaches an identity.

    Identity - this issue is important not only in social terms, but also in personal terms. To build an identity, a social matrix is ​​needed, which is built through symbols. When a community decides that something is not allowed, that a need should not be met, people suppress the impulse to avoid, for example, a sanction.
  5. Compensation – not all people are equally capable. In order to be experienced as successful, one tries to compensate for one's shortcomings by making efforts in other areas or precisely in that area in which one is weak.

Conclusion: Defense mechanisms are implemented to preserve the personality. There is another point. The implementation of defense mechanisms protects us from internal conflict, but it does not protect us from conflict with others.
