We actually take responsibility.

they are not

Internal attribution in psychology means accepting reality as a result of something we have done, external attribution is renouncing it.

The government, on the other hand, is careful to throw the slime at us and make us feel bad.

They get along great with the reality they have built for themselves

When a difficult and unusual event occurs, we by nature try to look for reasons to attribute to the situation in order to explain and understand what happened.

It may be convenient to blame Israelis for not following the guidelines and thereby make us give reality an internal attribution (reasons that depend on us), but the government itself does not make such an attribution and explains the reality we have reached by having an epidemic in the world - an external attribution.

This leaves the citizens feeling bitter.

Instead of ideas about a nocturnal closure (which seems to be coming off the chapter) or a third closure, we should learn to do an internal attribution first.

A look at the date on the calendar reflects an alarming reality.

The end of the year is approaching and reality does not reveal a positive picture or one that has changed since last March, with the outbreak of the corona.

We live in a loop of plague.

Despite the talk and publications about the vaccine, which tries to shed light and hope, any sane person knows that the road to a familiar and stable routine is long, and we will feel the results of corona destruction for many years to come.

This is just the beginning.

How did we get into this situation?

You will be surprised, not really our fault (Photo: Reuven Castro)

The new reality presents severe depressive and anxiety figures that are only rising.

The same is true of the data on the suicide attempts, which were unusually published in the media.

This is not a trivial matter at all.

The feeling is that we are stuck and that we are taking a step forward and then countless steps back - opening, trying to get back to routine, panicking about the level of illness, stopping and closing back.

Despite the depression among the citizens, there are those who try to give reality a different angle of reference.

"It's not just with us, it's all over the world," or "look at how we operate. All over the world the plague is raging, we and the closures - a success story."

Thus we try to reduce from the harsh feeling of bitter reality and actually embrace the cliché "trouble many half comfort".

When you attribute what is happening to you to external and global causes, you are actually freeing yourself from full responsibility and reducing the hard feeling.

For the method, if the cause of reality is a global rule, the feeling of frustration and despair should be easier, but if this is the case all over the world, why are we actually depressed and anxious?

Why does this explanation fail to reduce the bad feeling?

Attributing causality is the answer.

Causal attribution theory is one of the most well-known theories in social psychology.

It comes to explain the tendency we all have - our desire to know and explain the reasons for occurrences of events around us.

Haider, the thinker of the naive psychological theory, claimed that man is a kind of innocent scientist who seeks the causes of events in his environment like a scientist who seeks the causes of natural phenomena.

We all make causal attributions many times a day.

Our causal attributions are important.

When a person fails a test he can attribute this failure to himself (internal attribution) or to the fact that the test was very difficult (external attribution).

The differences between the forms of reference are significant and cause us to perceive reality and ourselves differently.

If the attribution is internal, I have more responsibility and control over myself.

If the reference is external I will feel less bad.

That is, attributing causality is of immense importance, as it affects our responses (perceptual, emotional, and practical).

After all, if we think we failed the test due to inability (internal attribution) we will be frustrated and "take a step back", while if we think the test was unusually difficult (external attribution) we will feel less bad and not despair.

It's not us, it's the test.

We studied but he was not adjusted.

Continue to threaten us.

And what about you?

Attribution style is assessed using three dimensions: internal / external, stability / instability controlled and uncontrolled.

Weiner's theory, which comes after Haider, also tries to explain when we are dealing with causal attribution and which situations cause us to stop and explain reality to ourselves.

Weiner found that such a tendency exists mainly when adverse and unforeseen events occur.

For example, when you are in the event of an accident you try to understand what the reasons are and investigate the attribution of the circumstances - are you guilty or did a drunk car get into you?

Were you able to avoid the accident (control) and what is the likelihood that such an event might recur (stability).

Attributions are made in adverse events.

But it makes sense that in an unusual event like the corona plague we would be busy finding the attribution of causality.

The plague event, if we explain it to ourselves according to the indices, is stable, uncontrollable and now the interesting part - is its attribution internal or external?

Are we saying it is all over the world, or are we taking responsibility?

As you try to give an answer, it is important to note that people who tend to explain negative events in their lives as stemming from internal and stability reasons become more depressed.

People who feel responsible for their reality tend to feel depressed, despair and hopeless.

Forrester found and wrote that psychology has realized that people's feelings can be improved by changing the reference patterns they use.

A depressed person who attributes an internal attribution to the harsh reality will try in treatment to cause the form of attribution to change, and understand that he cannot take all the responsibility and there are additional and external explanations for the situation.

If the data show that depression among the public is rising, there is a clear match here.

Although Israelis may overtake in the round, have difficulty complying with guidelines, congregate and even recently find that we lie in epidemiological tests, the fact that we are depressed proves that we do take responsibility and attribute an internal attribution to reality.

We do not often use the "all over the world" argument.

Depression means making an internal reference. Very "helping" us by being blamed for the situation. The sentences we hear are "if you do not keep the guidelines and the morbidity level goes down, we will not be able to continue to open the economy and we will not move forward to remove the restrictions" and more priest and priestess. The melody is very one-sided. The way in which we are made internally attributable is an exaggeration, we have not brought upon ourselves an epidemic, but the fact that we are required to take almost full responsibility leads us to attribute reality to internal causes, which leads to despair.

It turns out that we do know how to take responsibility or bear it, something that the government actually needs to learn from us. The ministers were not told that there was an increase in depression or anxiety, perhaps because none of them stood up and said 'we were wrong, we too have a responsibility in morbidity, some of the decisions were wrong and unequal'. Among the government there was not for a single moment an internal attribution of the situation or taking responsibility. She is a champion at attributing external attribution - it or we, the citizens, or the plague.

Finally, it may be worthwhile for the government to stop and look at the emotional response model of reference theories. The government that does not take responsibility for reality and leaves us to bear the cause of internal attribution, has led us on the path of reaction, where the behavioral outcome is written and clear and even begins to rise out of reality in the streets. If the government decides on a closure again, the behavioral outcome will be clear - whoever causes the public to bear an internal attribution alone and suffers from depression also causes the public not to enter again - sorry, thirdly, to close a miserable.
