The level of claims from the psychological point of view - is the desire of the individual to the goal, which, in his opinion, is fully consistent with his personal abilities and capacities.The very concept was put into practice the German psychologist Lewin co-worker, it is determined by two important factors: the fear of failure (unjustified expectations) and the desire to succeed.
In theory the level of claims - it is a generalized nature, peculiar to each individual, and regardless of the specifics manifested in any kind of activity.It is assumed that people with an optimistic view of life situations more quickly achieve tasks, even if this goal requires maximum effort and patience.Such personalities are different persistence, fortitude and faith in their abilities.
People who always have doubts in their skills, constantly afraid of failure and underestimate their own capabilities, attract failure and trouble.The first category of persons inclined not to attach particular importance to small failures, this type finds all occurring troubles coincidence.The second considers the troubles as proof of low self-esteem, these people sincerely believe that they deserve it.
This significant difference is the error between the actual capacity and the level of claims in the end it leads to emotional breakdown, deviant behavior, increased anxiety, irritability, etc.Only one conclusion - the level of claims closely related to self-esteem and motivation to achieve the goal.The main functions of self - determination of priorities and ensuring stability in the society.That it allows the person to appreciate its power in different areas: physical development, sexuality, professionalism.
In psychology, self-esteem are the following levels: low, medium and high.Low self-esteem may be adequate and too low.Typically, these people are afraid of change, they are conservative, very modest and lack of initiative.Man with average self-esteem has an entrepreneurial spirit, initiative and the ability to adapt to new conditions.Inflated self-esteem - is not always good.These people are completely dependent on the views of experienced experts, but sometimes their views do not coincide with their own opinion.And then the person loses the initiative, in order to avoid extreme situations.
To identify the level of self-confidence necessary to examine the claims of the individual.It is influenced by general cultural, social, and individual factors.In any case, the person needs to respond appropriately to external evaluation, and make sure to take into account personal values, and then build an adequate self-esteem.
This can help a specially developed theory of motivation to achieve their goals.This benefit American scientists invented the Atkinson and McClelland, who wanted to prove to the public that everything in the hands of man - is on our attitude will depend on the result.Motivated people on luck almost always achieve goals.
F. Hoppe also came up with a technique that define the personality of the level of claims.Absolutely all the techniques are based on the following scheme: a choice of the individual to choose a fixed number of jobs at different levels.All tasks are ranked by difficulty.The level of claims reveals the degree of complexity of the selected test task the individual and his further actions, depending on a successful or unsuccessful decisions.
If a person claims the level of normal, after successful completion of the task, he chooses a more complex, and after the failure - easier.A person with too low level of claims in the event of failure usually chooses either very difficult or very easy task, in order to rehabilitate and protect their reputation in the eyes of other people.Finally, the individual with increased level will always choose the job of increased complexity.
