PCT-Perceptual Control Theory-continued..

Why cant we deny control:-
Our living is sustained due to control in life.Evrything runs due to presence of control..in some or the other form..be it our controlled reactions and emotions which regulate our normal beahviour pattern, the controlled diet which keeps us phyically fit, the controlled use which prevents wastage of anything, the controlled speed of our vechicles avoids any accident to occur and many more such examples are there. So control is an essential part of our life.

But how do we measure it..amount of control
We as human beings have the tendency of keeping predetermined internal standard about anything and evrything. And we tend to match this internal standard with what we see, sense and percieve from the external environment. Thats how we measure the amount of control needed in our life. This happens with us on a very regualr basis. for instance in context of our appearnces ..we set an internal standard...and to make it match with the need that we sense from external sources, we get some new clothes, accessories etc.for ourselves .
If any differnces arise between what we sense and our internal standard, we start putting our efforts to minimise the differnce and avoid any conflicts.

  2. Yes, I agree that Perceptual Control works along in evry decision making of ours. But do let me know, Whats ones attitude should be towards this phenomena. Should this be allowed to limit us or one should try to live beyond the suggestion provided by this control!! Lets be lil courageous and allow creativity to flow
