The Destructive Nature of Societal Expectations

Human expectations for the environment form the person's identity. Regardless of whether it is a parents, society or their own request, these pressures determine human decision and behavior. Margaret Atwood's "Cat's Eye" and Joan MacLeod's "Girl's Shape" focus on the bullying behavior of girls and the impact of these behaviors on participants. The victims of both documents were chosen because they did not meet social norms. In "girl's shape" and "cat's eye", trying to cope with the pressure caused by social expectations may lead to psychological problems and subordinates.

As long as the field of psychology equals mental health and behavioral compliance according to social norms and expectations, the definition of psychiatric diseases changes as social norms and expectations are constantly changing . This can be proved by the fact that spiritual and spiritual diseases and spiritual diseases are discarded and added each time the behavioral expectations change due to social change. For example, until the 1970s, homosexual behavior was considered a symptom of psychosis. Recognizing that homosexuality is a sexual expression in a healthy form should warn psychologists to reevaluate behavioral fixation as the main indicator of psychosis. But psychologists have not made any changes in this regard. As a result, one out of every five people is suffering from mental illness every year, "I am crying out the paradigm shift is in order because behavior does not go well."

First, "gender stereotype" drives expectations for social behavior. As Janoff-Bulman and Wade commented, the man should be 'ambitious, confident, confident, confident, direct and capable,' while women are selfless, considerate, emotional It should be interpersonal relationship. "In other words, expectations of people already exist, men will support them and women will be conservative.No unfortunately, psychological research is related to resistance to resistance to gender stereotypes In other words, the assertion of women's self-assertion is considered to be an improvement of exaggerated self-reference over the same assertion that one person claimed (see reference 2). I dislike even social costs by resisting gender stereotypes.
