We live under an illusion of invulnerabilidad<\/strong> that can define like that belief of the people that his risk to contract some illness or that him suceda a negative fact is low and lower that the one of the average of the population. This optimism keeps us despreocupados in front of events no controllable and allows like this can keep a life far of the irrational fear.<\/p>\n

Illusion of invulnerabilidad.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The illusion of invulnerabilidad<\/strong> gives\u00a0 in multiple facets of the life: an illness, an accident of traffic, a dismissal, a loving abandonment, etc. However, if one of these events give\u00a0 in people gathered to us or observe them of some form (for example, in campaigns of traffic to avoid the consumption of alcohol to the steering wheel) incorporate them to our experience and open way to the realistic optimism<\/strong>, that yes is a more adaptative and key condition precursor of the success in the life.<\/p>\n

Why we feel us invulnerables?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Therefore, they exist biases in the process cognitive<\/strong><\/a> by which the individual values the risk that can run. These cognitive biases cause a perception distorted of himself same like invulnerable or less vulnerable of what really is . This has to\u00a0 mainly to cognitive and motivational processes:<\/p>\n
