Definitionv1DF-111
Resistance pattern
the consistent, structured sequence of emotional triggers, aversive responses, substitute activities, rationalizations, and costs that systematically guides avoidance behavior in response to specific task-related emotional states
Why This Is a Definition
This definition precisely establishes the semantic boundary of 'resistance pattern' by identifying its genus (structured behavioral sequence) and differentia (specific emotional triggers, aversive responses, substitute activities, rationalizations, and costs). It distinguishes resistance patterns from random distraction by emphasizing consistency, predictability, and the specific emotional and behavioral components that make them recognizable and actionable.
