What is Failure? : Beginning Our Series on the Psychology of Failure
Professor Taeyun Jung (Department of Psychology, Chung-Ang University)
We often assess the results of our actions as success or failure. On one hand, while such assessments are based on objective criteria, they can also be easily swayed by subjective opinions. If an outcome falls short of an objective set of standards or criteria, some may view the result as a failure, while others may describe it as a challenge. People also react differently to the result – some end up falling into despair while others see the result as an opportunity to try something new. What this tells us is that failure is not static and uniform; Rather, it can easily change depending on a wide range of factors. By widening our understanding of failure, we can explore more advantageous and adaptive ways to respond to our failure experiences.
