COLE, Norma. Clinical implications of a phenomenological study: Being regarded as a threat while attempting to do one's best. Indo-Pac. j. phenomenol. (Online) [online]. 2016, vol.16, n.1, pp.1-14. ISSN 1445-7377. http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/20797222.2016.1164996.
Cultural messages promote putting forward one's best effort, and yet any level of success, or the effort itself, can lead to being regarded as a threat. People forming everyday social comparisons may feel threatened by those attempting to do their best, and may react to neutralize the perceived threat. The urge to undermine someone regarded as a threat can result in direct reprisal, social strain, or other repercussions that can range from unpleasantness to life-changing trauma. Given the potential for negative outcomes, the experience of being regarded as a threat while attempting to do one's best merits close examination.
