Frustration (Compatibility Mode)

Frustration occurs when a goal is blocked or unable to be achieved due to obstacles. There are several sources of frustration, including environmental factors, personal factors, and conflicts between motives. Environmental obstacles from outside sources like other people can cause frustration. Personal frustration stems from having aspirations that exceed one's abilities. Conflicts between motives, such as approach-avoidance conflicts where a goal has both positive and negative attributes, also produce frustration. Learning to identify sources of frustration and adapt to challenges can help reduce stress and anxiety.

unpleasantness and tension.
Type of conflict
 Approach-approach conflicts
 Avoidance –avoidance conflict
 Approach-avoidence conflict
 Multipal approach- avoidance
conflicts
Approach-approach conflict

 It is a conflict between two positive goals ,


which are equally attractive at the same time.
 Goal + ve = s = Goal - ve
 E.g.
 1.when person is hungry and sleepy at the
same time.
 It choosing one of the goals and giving up
the other.
This kind of conflicts are resolved either
by satisfying the first one goal and then the
other. It is a easy to resolve and generate
little emotional behaviour.
Avoidance-avoidance conflict:

 It is a conflict between the two negative


goals.
 E.g.
 1. a student must spend the next two days
studying for examination or face the
possibility of failure.
 2. do the job ,which a person dislike or loss
the income.
Behavioural consequesences:

 Vacillation of behaviour and thought meaning


that people are inconsistant in what they do
and mean they do 1st one thing then other.
 They try to leave the conflict situation.e.g.
running away from home of student. This
way of leaving the conflict is called
regression.
 They may adopt daydreaming or regression.
Approach-avoidance conflict:

 In this type of conflict, a person is both


attracted and repelled by the same
goal. It is the most difficult conflict to
resolve because when the person
approaches the goal, the nagative
valence become stronger.
 Goal +ve and Goal –ve =s
 Aswith avoidance-avoidance
conflicts, vacillation is common in
approach-avoidance conflict;
people in this conflicts approach
the the goal untill the –ve valence
becomes too strong, and then thay
back away from it .
 Often however the –ve valence is not
repellent enough to stop the approech
behaviour. in such cases people raech
the goal but much more slowly and
hesitatingly than they would have
without the –ve valence; and untill the
goal is reached, there is a frustration .
 Even after the goal is reached an
individual may feel uneasy because of
the –ve valence attached to it.
 Whether aperson is frustrated by
reaching a goal slowly or by not
reaching it at all emotional reaction
such as afear, anger, and resentment
commonly accompany approech-
avoidance conflict.
Multiple approach-avoidance conflict

 It means that several goals with +ve


and –ve valence are involve.
 E.g.
 A woman between her marriage and
career conflict .
Behavioural consequances

 Many behavioural problems (


internalised ):
 The mrriage has a +ve valence for her
as it gives stabilities and security and
she loves the man.
 On the other hand the marriage is
repellant to her because it will mean
giving up an attractive offer of ajob in
another city.
 Shemay get a new job but also
repelled by the problems it will
creat for her marriege.
solution

 Some common reaction to frustration

Coping with frustration :

 When feeling frustrated ,instead of


getting angry at the situation or at
others, sit back, relax and wait. Say to
your self.
 “as things developed, I will through
listening to guidence from my
unconscious, adapt to changing
circumstances grow with them.”
 “Imay not get what I want when I
want it ;I trust that things will work
out in their own good time ,for my
ultimate benefites as long as I
remain calm and peaceful.”
 “I may not get what I want at all, and yet ,in
remaining calm and attentive, I may discover
something else that I need even more than
what I thought I wanted.”

 So it is a simple : take responsibility for your


life , adopt peacefully to life changes, and
you will find true peace – and joy – in all that
you do.
