Rationalization
In the broad sense a rationalization consists in reorganizing an object while being based on logic and in order to remove the useless one.
In psychology
One names rationalization the unconscious process or not by which an individual has a certain tendency to regard as personal choices dictated by a rational attitude what is often the result of coincidence . One regards this mechanism as a consequence of the search for Rationalité , also named Soif for structure ( structure-hunger ) by the psychologist Eric Bern.
The rationalization takes sometimes very tortuous ways. An experiment consists in putting subjects at the orders of a Flight simulator which is without their knowledge in mode of demonstration, i.e. the plane that they control has a trajectory without report/ratio with the orders which they apply. It is noted that the majority of the experimenters create for themselves explanatory systems increasingly sophisticated for to justify the difference between the behavior of the plane and the orders that they give him (wind, inertia of reaction, dysfunction of shutters of direction or the engine, etc) These experiments light one day interesting the traditional considerations on the impression of free will.
The extreme or pathological demonstration of the rationalization is the compensatory Délire.
