For Freedom!Ī lot of people in the early retirement community have the same reaction when told not to push the proverbial red button. It just about exactly describes why I like to do things my own way. Reactance is a motivational reaction to rules or regulations that threaten or eliminate specific freedoms, causing the person to adopt or strengthen a view or attitude that is contrary to what was intended.
Right, well, the problem is that at work, that attitude usually doesn’t fly, unless you hold the upper hand.Īccording to psychologists, I’ve got a deep case of “ Reactance“. It’s part due to my curiosity, and part the rebel in me.
If someone tells me not to push the red button, they’d better give me a damn good reason. I’ve always had a real problem with authority.
