8 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. Parched and Dried!
