CAMPUS MIRROR
Some Psychological Aspects
of Worry
Frankie Smith, ’38
Choosing as his subject, “Some Psy
chological Aspects of Worry,” Dr. O.
W. Eagelson, instructor in Psychology
in Atlanta University, delivered an in
formative but interesting talk during the
chapel service of Wednesday, October 13.
“Worry,” said Dr. Eagelson, “is an
emotionalized attitude characterized by
some unpleasantness,” that unpleasant
ness usually being fear. “It is a type
of behavior or activity which causes
maladjustment and consequently hinders
one from doing well any constructive
work. Worry does not last momentarily,
but is indefinite.”
It is impossible to attribute worry to
any single cause, stated Dr. Eagelson,
because for all psychological disturb
ances there are many causes. The cause
of worry is usually a situation which
might be traced back to the past, such as :
1. Lowered physical condition,
2. Surprises and unexpected happen-
who, in their philosophy of life, deny the
hereafter, and for this reason can see no
wrong in suicide as a means of escape
from a difficult problem.
Concluding the talk, Dr. Eagelson gave
some ways through which the mitigation
of worry may be brought about—They
are:
1. The individual must first realize
that he is worrying.
2. Then he must take into considera
tion all the possible causes of his
worry—and seek to find a solution
for his problem.
3. If he fails to find a solution he must
seek advice from some trustworthy
person. The person from whom he
seeks advice must realize that “Sue-
cet\s brings about success” and help
the victim of worry to—
4. Rebuild confidence in himself.

3. Being trained in an environment
in which the parents constantly
worry,
4. Limited skills and knowledges—
the individual doesn’t possess suf
ficient equipment to solve the prob
lems with which he is faced.
5. Personality defects.
The consequences of worry are also
many, continued Dr. Eagelson, a few of
which may be stated as:
1. It inhibits the capacity for construc
tive work,
2. It impairs good health,
3. It causes the individual to adapt
some radical change in life—prob
ably a change in the philosophy of
life,
4. It causes the individual to acquire
some abnormal type of behavior
such as illusions,
5. Suicide.
Elaborating upon the topic, Suicide,
Dr. Eagelson told the students that all
persons who commit suicide are not
crazy, for there is a group of persons
