BERKELEY – The language we speak affects half of what we see, according to researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, and the University of Chicago.

The idea that language affects perception is controversial, and results have conflicted.

Self-handicapping - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Self-handicapping is the process by which people avoid effort in the hopes of keeping potential failure from hurting self-esteem. [ 1 ] It was first theorized by Edward E. Jones and Steven Berglas, [ 2 ] according to whom self-handicaps are obstacles created, or claimed, by the individual in anticipation of failing performance. [ 3 ] Self-handicapping can be seen as a method of preserving self-esteem but it can also be used for self-enhancement and to manage the impressions of others. [ 4 ] This conservation or augmentation of self-esteem is due to changes in causal attributions or the attributions for success and failure that self-handicapping affords.

[ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] [ 5 ]

consciousness
Collective unconscious is a term of analytical psychology , coined by Carl Jung . It is proposed to be a part of the unconscious mind , expressed in humanity and all life forms with nervous systems, and describes how the structure of the psyche autonomously organizes experience. Jung distinguished the collective unconscious from the personal unconscious , in that the personal unconscious is a personal reservoir of experience unique to each individual, while the collective unconscious collects and organizes those personal experiences in a similar way with each member of a particular species.
