It seems that the word team is deeply connected in our minds' psych with the complexity of competition. Studies show up that competition becomes competitiveness and erodes well being despite a learned desire to win. A recent study of suicide was carried out by the US Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco and the US Census Bureau. They examined the facts and figures surrounding suicide to determine a relationship with an individual's income. They have happily summarized it for many years -'yup the richer dudes were less likely to top themselves than the poorer ones' (under $20,000 a year).
Now it seems the banks want to know more as the squeeze continues. Maybe they wonder why the suicide rate is not higher this time. personally I believe it's because we are all wising up to government incompetence faster than they imagined we could through the barrage of press baying about the meltdown 'The end has never been so nigh'.
In addition, it is said that we have the analogous alter ego of 'society at large' to hold accountable. It's the ego's fault fair and square. That makes it all so much easier to 'take' or 'buy into' and gives us something to 'just handle' along the way. When the researchers delved deeper by studying the subjects' communities they found out more. The researchers revealed that the cause of suicide was more related to their failure to meet their perceived expectations of what others around them had compared with themselves.
Drilling down to Communities. Competing with family members had a worse effect on their happiness than comparing wages with co-workers. The worst anxiety came however when competition invaded their friendships - especially those perceived as the closest ones. They also scientifically confirmed the usual old chestnut which is that overall rise in standard of living doesn't buy happiness and contentment.
The two studies demonstrated, that the subjects perceived happiness had little or nothing to do with general perceptions or indeed facts which have been brought in as 'objective' benchmarks. An example of this is an overall increase in national income. The subjects measures their happiness against entirely personal benchmarks. This unsurprisingly is how the subjects see themselves within their personal environs.
Psychologists call it the Easterlin Paradox, meaning that there is really no objective measure of success. Individuals measure themselves against the aspirations formed by their expectations compared to those closest to them.
Optimism or Pessimism? Since the subjects' state of mind could be taken into account, studies of optimism and pessimism show that optimistic people tend to compare themselves with those less fortunate, whereas pessimistic people constantly compare themselves with more successful among their peers. Both types are still comparing locally and operate as any other within the bounds of their own perceptions and belief systems.
The benchmarks are individually perceived whether you're happier than all the other poor folk or you are the most hard-done-by of all that run for the local victim olympics. - It may vary as it is affected by different neighbourhoods however disappointment in failing to attain the objective is the same in either environment.
Community support. There's a growing number of research studies demonstrating that when you take competition out of the equation human beings naturally flourish. As a result, new developments in behaviorial psychology and biology are moving towards the fact that humans do poorly in isolation with the underlying premise of self-serving survival.
Another study on the poor found that little suffering arose from being poor provided they had the support of the community and a spiritual link within that. This tells me that rich or poor, the goodwill of the community means a lot. While the ceaseless urge to win drives us apart from our peers, we have to take a new look at competition altogether. It can be restricted to gambling and attempts to win money.
There is indeed a thrill in the chase, there is the prize of a bargain but competition is for the kittens and puppies among us who need to practice getting mentally tough. Competition within families certainly does that for you.
