Confidence

From which does confidence come?

Confidence can to the extreme ( surconfiance ) find its source in a need (to decide quickly), in an attitude of Paresse (not to reflect), even in a simple character trait, which is revealing difficulty of a too categorical interpretation. It translates the incapacity of the individuals to wonder about all or to fear very before acting. But a badly directed confidence can decrease vigilance, which can appear very detrimental vis-a-vis a real danger.

Confidence is initially the fruit of an effect of Expérience: the repeated success of an action builds the confidence, which can lead to a form of behavior reflex (to pass to green light when the others stop with red light).

Sociological aspects

But more generally confidence is generated by a feeling of empathy (I trust those which I like or which I find sympathetic nerves), by the Respect granted to a person or a Idéologie (logical of authority), or finally by pledges brought for this purpose and products by people or Institution S profiting from the preceding characters. This last mode returns to a whole logic of voluntary construction of the confidence, which brings into play the State, of the procedures and the institutions relay of varied Statut S.

However, it on what confidence is based can appear misleading. The social skills, statutes, or excesses of privileges can not tally more with situations which require changes of orientation.

One can regard the religious Foi and the attitude with respect to crowned as an ultimate form of confidence: confidence in God.

Confidence has an important place in the political life, since the elected or appointed leaders must in general remain attentive with the confidence which was made to them when the capacity their was deputy.

Confidence has an obvious social utility with the direction where it supports the attitude of co-operation, and all the economic activity (exchanges, taken of risk, initiatives).

Besides any organized company tends to generate in its center a certain degree of confidence, of which it can with difficulty occur to exist as an interdependent community, but also an opposite feeling of mistrust, compared to the others, within the meaning of the not-recognized people members of the tribe.

To inspire confidence

It is noted that confidence is granted to those which say the Vérité, which does not omit essential components, and which do not seek exclusively their Intérêt S personnel: truth on the Représentation S Cosmologique S, on the difficulty of a situation, the respect of a Législation, etc Camoufler an element of the context generates necessarily Méfiance, which is detrimental for that to which one granted his confidence.

Controversies on confidence

Based on the Feeling, and not on the Reason, confidence can appear to the rationalists as an antiquated demonstration of a propensity of the men to follow their Croyance S. It recalls in a certain manner the primacy of the Subjectif on the objective , and the irreducibility of the “spontaneous” behavior of the man to the reason. The attachment of the men to confidence can be placed against their major wish to give a form to their Liberté, it was made of not-reason. Confidence has a report/ratio often more difficult to define with the Connaissance. It is necessary in makes distinguish a knowledge being presented in the form of absolute, in connection with the models of science and of the scientists, who has vocation to be essential by itself without regard on a possible confidence, and a knowledge more dependant on the context and partially empirical, resting rather largely on opinions of experts, to which apply a more or less marked confidence.

Self-confidence

The attitude of the parents towards their young child influences the extent of the self-confidence which it will develop during his existence. It is known that the self-confidence is generally more solid at that which felt liked, encouraged and congratulated during its childhood. However, certain children whose character was worked in the adversity more than in the wadding, will be able to develop a confidence in them of foreground, even if they felt been unaware of and disparaged by their parents and their superiors during their tender childhood.
