This pattern pervades ...

This pattern pervades all spheres of human life (and, naturally, at a lower level - in animals). This is - as regards the lower level of the psyche - from the laws of perception of visual images, taste, smell, and continuing phenomena of culture, aesthetics - examples of interpersonal and social interaction, the phenomenon of fashion, art, design, etc. On the example of fashion particularly well traced the psychological mechanism of inversion - turning negative emotions into positive ones. That is a causal link stressful, dangerous and attractive, handsome. For example, the desire to get a tattoo, body piercing (Persing), wear shocking clothes, at its core is obviously unpleasant emotions: either as a result of traumatic punctures (possible projection), or because of hostility to those who exceeded a "reasonable" threshold (in the same piercing). Occurs avoiding excessive stimuli in favor of the stimuli of medium strength. That is, the desire to have all the same, just in smaller quantities. Desire for extravagance, in fact, fueled by the fashion industry. This artificial gray (gray strands, weave), and hair color in unnatural colors - blue, pink, purple, violet, symbolizing the increased emotional activity. Mental processes that underlie the attractiveness of the piercing may be presented several options. Option 1. The man is afraid of punctures, cuts (this course), and fear is displaced by sharp objects. Aversion causes the appearance of these foreign (sharp) objects. Option 2. A man in his environment sees people make piercing, fear of punctures and cuts shifted more already on them (in the form of hostility to these people). 3 variant. A man in a small circle to rotate among people who have made the piercings, the desire to get close to these people, cause they have sympathy (motivation) includes a mechanism of inversion: Now body piercing (and his men have done) seems attractive. There was a desire to do piercings yourself, too. 4 variant. People are so fond of piercings that expanding its contacts: for example, is a get-together or enter into club piercing (motivation increases, it becomes dominant). 5 version. Fascinated by piercing a person enters the environment in which the piercing is not welcome (school, university); motivation sublimated, for example, in a passion for collecting items related to piercing (rings, earrings, etc.), without wearing them. These options may reflect the attitude towards Persing different people, that is, any one option for the individual and limited. But these same options - also a possible stage of development of the mental process in humans, including all options PREVIOUS-stage. Any, even slight scratch is accompanied by bleeding. Consequently, the sight of blood is always associated with a traumatic situation, which may, and does a beautiful red color.
