About This Article
High summer temperatures can significantly worsen the conditions for individuals who have experienced psychological trauma, such as scam victims.

High temperatures also disrupt sleep patterns, worsening insomnia and poor sleep quality, which further impairs emotional regulation and resilience.
Additionally, heat can increase irritability and aggression, straining relationships and heightening feelings of isolation. Reduced opportunities for social interaction due to the need to stay indoors can diminish crucial support networks, compounding the challenges faced by trauma survivors.

High justice sensitivity refers to an individual’s heightened awareness and strong emotional reactions to perceived injustices, whether they occur personally or to others. This trait is characterized by an intense focus on fairness, a deep sense of empathy for victims, and a persistent desire to address wrongs.
People with high justice sensitivity often experience significant distress over unfair situations and may feel compelled to act against perceived injustices, sometimes leading to obsessive thoughts or actions. This sensitivity can manifest in behaviors like advocacy or vigilantism, driven by a need to see justice restored or wrongdoers punished.

About This Article
The “shadow side” in psychology, originally conceptualized by Carl Jung, refers to the unconscious parts of an individual’s psyche that include repressed traits, desires, and emotions. These aspects are often hidden because they are considered negative, undesirable, or incompatible with one’s self-image. Modern psychology continues to explore similar concepts, using terms like the unconscious mind, repressed emotions, and defense mechanisms.
The shadow can influence behavior and attitudes, often manifesting through projection, where individuals attribute their hidden traits to others. It also encompasses implicit biases and unacknowledged parts of the self that may affect decisions and perceptions unconsciously. Recognizing and integrating the shadow side involves bringing these hidden aspects into conscious awareness, which is essential for personal growth and psychological well-being.

This strategy allows these countries to deny involvement and avoid international repercussions. The use of criminals for such purposes dates back to historical practices, like privateering under Queen Elizabeth I, but has evolved to include modern-day cybercriminals and gangs.
