In disputes between people, you can hear the term “adequacy” almost everywhere. Each participant in the dispute tries to doubt this quality of his opponent as actively as possible, shaking his incredible adequacy in his face. Is this mysterious property really of decisive importance in the life of every person? Unfortunately, most people who use this term have a hard time understanding what adequacy is.

Adequacy is simply conformity to something. That is, a person can be adequate or inadequate regarding something; it is incorrect to use this word in itself. It follows from this that adequacy is a relative concept.

Adequacy assessment

How to understand what is adequate and what is not? No one wants to be branded “inadequate,” because this label can completely change the attitude of others towards you. Often, adequacy is understood as banal compliance with generally accepted standards of morality and behavior. Moreover, actions that are adequate in one situation may be inadequate in another. In most cases, this concept is simply a person’s subjective point of view on how others should think and behave. Therefore, if someone accuses you of inadequacy, this is not a reason to panic at all; perhaps this person simply did not like you.

Of course, there are generally accepted values ​​and moral standards, non-compliance with which is considered horrifying savagery. But don’t forget about your own values, because the majority is often wrong. And a person who builds his life according to the principle “everything is like other people” can hardly be called a conscious person, although he does not lack for adequacy. Therefore, do what you think is necessary; others will evaluate your adequacy.

Extremes

Of course, sometimes there are extreme cases of inadequacy. For example, when a person’s behavior is completely out of the generally accepted framework, it becomes downright dangerous and abnormal.

In most cases, this indicates mental abnormalities and sooner or later leads an overly unusual subject to a hospital. There are also opposite cases, when the poor fellow knows too well what adequacy is, trying to strictly comply with its harsh framework. This person’s opinion is fully consistent with generally accepted norms; they completely shape his inner world, leaving no room for his own conclusions.

Age appropriateness

Compliance with your age is no less important in modern society than the presence of values ​​and guidelines that are understandable and accepted by society. An adult acting like a child can look extremely strange. If a child behaves like an adult, then people find it funny or cute, but do not take him seriously.

A pathetic impression is made by adults who communicate in teenage slang, or by old people trying to look youthful.

There is a time for everything, do not forget what adequacy is when trying to become someone you are not. The younger generation needs to remember that their adult life will yet come and they will remember their bygone childhood years with envy.

People of the older generation, on the contrary, do not need to forget that childhood has already passed and there is no way to return to it, so it is worth accepting all the complexity and responsibility of adult life.

Meaning of Adequacy

Be that as it may, full compliance with social norms does not leave any space for one’s own opinion. Therefore, there is no point in chasing the notorious adequacy; it is better to listen to yourself and enjoy life. After all, what is adequacy? Just conforming to someone else's idea of ​​what is right and what is wrong. By doing what others do, you will inevitably become the same as them, completely losing your own individuality.

You should not prove to someone your adequacy or, conversely, try to impress someone with your inadequacy, trying to show yourself as an extraordinary person. To be yourself, to act as your own mind dictates, and not ephemeral “universal” norms of behavior - this is what shows the maturity and adequacy of the individual. Of course, there will always be people who want to reproach others for inadequacy and impose their worldview. But can their pathetic attempts lead a strong, independent person astray from the right path?

Adequacy— this is a sensitive sense of the necessity and expediency of one or another action, the ability to master feedback from the world and act in accordance with the Divine Will.

2.6. Parables of the peoples of the world.

“With others as with yourself.”

One sage said to Nasreddin:

- Each person should behave the way he wants it from others. Your heart should want for others what it wants for itself.

Khoja replied:

— One bird feasted on poisonous berries that did not cause any harm to it. One day she picked some of these berries and treated them to her horse friend...

"The Parable of the Orange (Hing Shi)."

One day, two students, Yang Li and Zhao Zeng, approached Hing Shi with a request to judge their dispute. The students could not decide how to answer the questions in a conversation with their interlocutor.

Young Lee said:

- Teacher, I think that it would be better to answer the interlocutor’s question without delay, and later, in case of an error, to correct it, than to make the interlocutor wait too long for an answer.

To this Zhao Zeng objected:

- No, on the contrary, you should think about your answer carefully, weighing every little thing and detail. Let this take as long as you like, the main thing is to immediately give the correct answer.

To this, Hing Shi picked up a juicy orange and said, turning to the first student:

- If you let your interlocutor eat the first half of an orange unpeeled, and only then, having peeled the peel, give the second, it may happen that your interlocutor, having tasted the bitterness of the first half, throws away the second.

Then Hing Shi turned to the second student, who, after listening to the teacher’s words addressed to Yang Li, smiled, anticipating his victory in the argument.

“You, Zhao Zeng, certainly won’t feed your interlocutor bitter orange.” On the contrary, you will peel it for a long time and carefully, carefully separating the slightest veins of the peel from the pulp. But I’m afraid that your interlocutor may leave without waiting for the promised treat.

- So what should we do? - the students asked in one voice.

“Before you treat someone with oranges, learn how to peel them so as not to feed your interlocutor with either the bitterness of the peel or vain expectations,” answered Hing Shi, “but until you learn, it’s better to entrust this process to the one you are going to treat... And one more thing.” “,” he added a little later, “peel oranges for yourself more often.”

Systematically, for 2-4 weeks, in the evenings, write the word Adequacy on a piece of paper 20-30 times, in a calm atmosphere, carefully writing the letters in calligraphic handwriting, trying to feel the state, delve into its essence and become saturated with it. If necessary, repeat the cycle. Draw Adequacy into yourself and bring it into all current situations.

In the morning, when you wake up, invoke the state of Adequacy and mentally devote the day to strengthening Adequacy in yourself.

During the day, if necessary, make adjustments to Adequacy.

Analyze situations in advance, think about how to deal with them most adequately, and plan your activities in accordance with this. If necessary, make adjustments.

To understand what Adequacy is, you need to study your inadequacy and see where exactly in life your own inadequacy manifests itself and has manifested itself. Review situations, understand and feel how to act correctly and adequately in them, and reinforce them with adequate actions in similar situations.

When flowing into a situation, remember, feel the state of Adequacy, merge with it and allow it to manifest freely, consolidate it in actions.

Maintain a daily schedule for Adequacy recruitment. To measure the achieved level of Adequacy, you need to relax your hands, place them at a certain distance from each other, and, taking this distance as 100%, tune in to the state of Adequacy, allow the right hand to slowly move towards the left until it stops. The remaining distance between the hands will be the value of the achieved level of Adequacy in relation to the initial distance.

Keep a diary in which to note the positive changes that accompany all activities to develop Adequacy.

CONCLUSION

Strengthening your Adequacy is of utmost importance. The development of Adequacy can open the way and provide the opportunity for a person to realize his main life goals. In other words, a person can be fully realized in life, reveal his potential, by following the correct, adequate actions.

There are different situations in life and people behave in them depending on their character. If the behavior is understandable and not surprising, it is appropriate. If the reaction does not correspond to accepted norms, it causes a feeling of criticism. You can hear about such people: “he behaves inappropriately.” What is adequacy in the understanding of the average person and what else does it mean?

General definition

The term has synonyms: correspondence, identity. Most often it is used to characterize human behavior. Actions that comply with generally accepted rules and culture are considered adequate.

Arriving home, we undress, hang warm outerwear on a hanger, and put our shoes on the shelf. This is appropriate behavior. Imagine that a colleague came to work and instead of sitting on a chair, he sat on the desk and put his feet on the chair. He whistles songs and even forgot to say hello. This does not meet the standards and is therefore considered inadequate.

When we sit down to eat at a party, we eat our food carefully, trying not to make unnecessary noise. At home, we can eat something with our hands (especially if we are very hungry), chew and talk at the same time. How will society and our family perceive this?

These examples provide a deeper understanding of what adequacy is. After all, actions in one situation are quite appropriate, but in another they are unacceptable. If you are accused of inadequacy, this is a subjective opinion and not a reason to panic. Perhaps you are simply unpleasant to the person.

Where is the line between adequacy and its opposite?

Some people are so scrupulous and dependent on public opinion that they put it at the forefront. A person understands what adequacy is and fully acts in accordance with established boundaries. At the same time, he is guided only by norms and leaves no room for making his own decisions.

There are cases when there is no need to talk about adequacy at all. A person’s behavior and morality not only deviate from their usual boundaries, but become dangerous to others. These are clear signs of mental illness, the diagnosis of which should be made by a psychiatrist.

Adequacy and age

Society strictly ensures that a person’s behavior and clothing style correspond to his age. It is necessary to accept guidelines and values ​​in order to look decent, first of all, for yourself. An elderly woman or man repeating looks amazing. It’s strange to hear obscene or teenage slang from the lips of elderly women.

At the same time, when a child tries to imitate adults, everyone is touched and does not take it seriously. Adequately assess your age and adjust your behavior so as not to lose yourself. Older people should adequately perceive reality and remember responsibility. Young people must understand that adulthood will definitely come, and then only memories will remain of their youth.

What is adequacy in science?

The term is actively used in many sciences, including mathematics, physics, and econometrics. It applies to models that are being researched. If the calculations made are correct, and the finished model showed the intended result, the adequacy test has been passed.

By examining the object, developers determine what options there may be if the model fails, and whether this is possible. If the results fully correspond to the calculations, it is customary to say that the design is adequate. The conflicting results make us think and re-evaluate the original studies.

To comply or not?

As long as a person lives only within approved boundaries, he has no room for. What is adequacy? This is identity with someone else’s idea of ​​​​the norms of life. Someone decided what to do and what not to do. Complete identification entails a loss of individuality, and a mature person is able to have his own idea of ​​norms and rules and act as his conscience dictates.

0 In our lives, situations often arise when people reveal their hidden qualities depending on their character. If a person’s reaction does not correspond to generally accepted norms, then it causes rejection and a feeling of criticism. They often say about such citizens: “He behaves inappropriately.” On our website, we decipher the meaning of various words, from street slang to thieves' argot. Add us to your bookmarks, then you will have the opportunity to check in with us more often. Today, as you may have guessed, we’ll talk about a complex concept, this Adequacy, which means you can read a little lower.
However, before continuing, I would like to advise you to look at a couple more of my articles on science and education. For example, what does Creative mean, who are the Puritans, what is Melancholy, what does Blitz mean, etc.
So let's continue what does Adequacy mean?? This term was borrowed from the Latin language" adaequatus", and is translated as "equalized", "equalized".

Adequacy- this is identity with someone else’s idea of ​​​​the norms of life

Adequacy- this is meeting the expectations of people and the requirements of the situation

Appropriate behavior- this is conscious behavior

How to understand whether a person is adequate depends largely on what expectations and requirements are placed on him. Although, if we take this concept as broadly as possible, then in fact, each of us to one degree or another inadequate. Any person faced with a situation for which he is not prepared can exhibit inappropriate behavior. An action that corresponds to generally accepted culture and rules of behavior can be called adequate.

Let's give a simple example: you come to work, don't greet anyone, sit in a chair, and put your feet on the table. This behavior is not normal and will therefore be considered inappropriate. This example will help you better understand what Adequacy is. In general, you need to understand that your actions in one situation are unacceptable, while in another they are quite appropriate. If they call you " inadequate", then this is not a reason to panic. Most likely, you are simply unpleasant to your interlocutor.

In general, where to find the line between inadequacy and its direct opposite? In some cases, people are so dependent on the opinions of others that they strictly adhere to all the public and unspoken rules accepted in society. In another case, a person begins not only to violate everything possible, but also to become dangerous to others. In this case, his mental illness has most likely worsened, and only a specialist can help him.

Although, who generally sets the rules for how to live? Complete adherence to the laws established by someone can lead to the loss of one’s individuality. Whereas a person who is formed and mature in all respects does not need anyone’s instructions, rules and norms, and acts as her conscience tells her.

After reading this article, you learned what does Adequacy mean?, and now with " clean"
