Lying flatness in the workplace is helpless, have you noticed?

In the past few years, such people have been seen in the workplace: "House is at home, catering is dependent on takeaway", "cold face, except for other indifferent cares", "often say that there is no motivation, no idea, no plan". Some psychologists name these phenomena "lying flat".

Baidu Encyclopedia's explanation of lying flat as: "Lie flat, online popular words, referring to the reaction of the other party, you have no waves in your heart. The realm is expressed: "Stop stop, no longer enthusiastically desires to succeed, and choose the most unprecedented way to rebel. "

Lying flat is a summary of this phenomenon, and psychologists call this phenomenon helpless.

In contemporary society, with the increasing competition in all walks of life, everyone in the workplace feels unprecedented work pressure, followed by the joy of success, and more is the silence and annoyance after failure. Some people choose not to continue to work hard, but have a depression, live and live a day, when a monk hit a day for a day. The phenomenon of lying flat, anxiety and depression, and psychological trauma have also become a common topic for people.

When American psychologist Seligman studied animals in 1967, he proposed the concept of acquisition and helplessness. This means that people have a helpless feeling at the beginning due to a certain factors, and then immersed in various activities in the future, and cannot get rid of it. Then this helplessness affects themselves. All aspects of life, work, and study.

This expands the sense of helplessness and affects the entire life of the individual, making him no hope of all his life. Under this cognitive judgment control, this person thinks he is useless.

As a result, no longer struggle and struggle, and no longer try to change the predicament. Psychologically, he has a deep self -blame and attributed all the causes of failure to his own problem.

What's more serious, it is difficult to extricate itself in thorough closure and self -despair.

Psychologist Huang Xiting and Zheng Yong proposed in the 3rd edition of the "Introduction of Psychology": "The so -called acquisition is helpless, which refers to the desperate mentality formed by individuals with multiple pains. Strive. "

Popularly speaking, a person has been positive, struggling and struggling, and hopes to strive for a better future, but after he works hard, he finds that the harder he works, the more you fail.

He never saw his results, so he felt very inferior, lost his hope for the future, his spiritual beliefs collapsed, and the fighting spirit disappeared. Eventually, all the efforts were completely abandoned.

In the end, the helplessness of acquisition can also lead to reduced motivation and even disappear.

Psychologist Carlo Dewker found a set of extremely important self -attribution methods often involved in the school in the study: fixed thinking and growth thinking. The fixed -minded person believes that IQ or talent is inherent, and the day after tomorrow cannot be learned. In this way of attribution, people feel that their IQ has reached the upper limit, and naturally they will learn negatively. However, people with growth thinking will believe that the IQ and capabilities involved in school academics can be improved through the day after tomorrow. Here are the essential differences between several fixed thinking and growth thinking in some behaviors.

Learners with fixed thinking can easily form a helplessness during their studies. After going to work, they are accustomed to determining that their learning ability has stopped. The complicated new environment and the competition of rapid changes are no longer studying hard, but they are overwhelming and passing, choosing to lie flat, leading to the helplessness of acquisition.

Those who are helpless often have deviations in attribution methods, and this is reflected in the thinking habits in the process of learning growth.

The attribution is to reflect on the thinking and behavior of yourself and others, and give reasonable reasons and interpretations.

The first factor is internal and external, and the internal interpretation of uncontrollable events has led to a specific sense of helplessness in the incident, and the external interpretation of the uncontrollable incidents has led to a sense of helplessness to universal events. Someone's internal or external interpretation affects its subsequent self -esteem on an irresistible event, which is likely to hurt self -esteem.

The second factor is stability and unstable. If the failure is explained as a factor of instability, then the sense of helplessness is short. If the failure and unfortunate interpretation as a stable factors will be the long -term existence of the sense of helplessness.

The third factor is generally and specific. The general attribution of uncontrollable events affects all aspects of individual life, and the specific attribution of uncontrollable events only affects one aspect in life. When a person fails, universal attribution will cause proliferation to collapse.

In the first factor of attribution, even if a person has not experienced something, but only observing some events around him can gradually have a sense of acquisition and helplessness.

For example, a newcomer in the workplace, seeing many colleagues around the age of 50, many people are promoted to be hopeless, and repeat simple and boring jobs day after day, day after year, so the young employee feels that his workplace is also at a glance at a glance Looking at the scene, I no longer work hard.

In the second factor, if a person fails and unfortunately determines the stable factor, the sense of helplessness will also exist for a long time. People with emotional and behavioral disorders are more likely to have acquisition and helplessness, and the helplessness of acquisition has further caused these people to form academic disorders and emotional defects. Due to external influence, their thinking determines that they "have the potential to learn", and believe that "Jiangshan is easy to change the nature" and lacks the initiative of adjusting words and deeds in order to adapt to the environment. Change. For example, some people's family environment is not harmonious, and parents often quarrel, he will feel that he is unlucky. He lives in such a family and cannot work with peace of mind. Since he cannot change, just follow the wave.

Because people who have a helpless thinking will think that learning difficulties and doom cannot be changed, it is unchanged, and the subconscious restrictions have limited themselves. Since they cannot change, they will give up completely, and they will set their own limits everywhere.

In the third factor, if some new graduate college students are not satisfied with the first job in the workplace, they conclude that there is no job in the society that can satisfy themselves, and even use this as an excuse to choose to lie flat. If you are not satisfied with a few successive jobs, you will no longer believe that there will be a chance in the future, and some even choose to lie down at home.

Therefore, a person's results today are often caused by comprehensive factors.
