Aug. 9 (M) 2021 Gold-n-shadows vs. Identification Defense Mechanism ( 追金 vs. 認同防衛機轉) - Reaching Human Potentials vs. Human Rights Issues

“Where there is much light, the shadow is deep.” ― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

這幾天, 媒體上對過去幾年默默無名的小女孩兒 - 全紅嬋的一跳成名天下知的事情, 說得沸沸揚揚的. 當然啦, 主要談的是她的滿貫高分的超級表現, 一霎那風靡全中國, 連郭晶晶都迷得似乎比全紅嬋的年紀還更小. 接著, 由於她的天真率直洩漏 "天機", 引起多方的討論. 而我因為一直比較關注臺灣東奧運動員的重磅努力, 對中國的機械化選手的表演, 不宜避重就輕. 反正這個國家有14億人口, 按概率, 就是不用專制機械方式訓練, 也大概能產生幾項像樣的成績. 後來接著聽到這個小女孩的家世背景, 才引起我的社會心理學聯想, 與我小時候的記憶. 於是找了幾段正向反向片面報導的視頻看看, 以減低無謂的毀譽, 順道追蹤一點點她的心路歷程.

在此也貓尾續貂一下:

全紅嬋, 成為年紀最小的金牌得主 ,這當然逃不過中國, 以及全世界媒體的關注與爆炒. 這天大的新聞, 免不了的, 就是媒體的追蹤訪問. 在一個對準全球播放的視頻採訪中, 真是年紀小, 天真無邪啊, 還不了解中共外宣的可敬可愛處, 小小腦袋, 可能是沒有正式的被黨政加工釀造, 還是心有所思的淡定吧,  面無表情地道出自己的心願, “拿到金牌, 要賺很多錢, 給媽媽治病!” 這前兩句, 還可秀一下雄心萬丈, 為國要面子．第三句, 就完了! 把權貴的玻璃心, 打碎了一滿地; 讓高幹的腦片兒, 揪得是像要被扭乾的濕棉被 一般．
　
如果換成年紀稍微大一點, 受過黨國指導的耳提面命, 這樣的視頻恐怕不會出現. 要不然, 機關密部的重重再教育, 會讓崽子們深刻體認到 - 天大地大沒有黨的恩情大, 爹親娘親沒有權貴高幹的浩蕩皇恩. 受訪時說出的話, 要儘量像人話, 要保護好黨與領導, 千萬要讓他們的尊腹吃得飽, 玉體睡得香, 不用提心吊膽, 才是個好子民!

女孩兒可頂得半天邊, 可是這哪像是無產階級專政啊?

然後再看幾項她的跳水顯象鏡頭: 挺著瘦小身軀的女孩兒, 準備跳水時, 眉頭皺皺的, 心若有所思. 這些影像還被其他國家, 拿來大做文章. 說什麼揠苗助長, 機械式訓練出來的小孩, 是幼齡剝削, 摧殘不能為自己發聲的小心靈... 諸如此類的置疑詞, 反外宣, 或酸詞句. 總之, 就是專門為奪取金牌而製造的 - 沒有靈魂小機器人!



她說要賺更多的錢, 給媽媽治病這一段話, 真是觸痛人心. 從與她有關的片面視頻報導中得知一些基本訊息下. 這小女孩是成長在一個生活相當困難的果農家庭. 家中有5個小孩, 母親因為去工作遭遇車禍, 斷了幾根骨頭, 一直臥病在床, 加上他的爺爺也生病. 兩個病人, 把家裡的積蓄都用光了. 所以全家目前只靠她父親一個人的果農工作來支持全家. 這個小姑娘, 一心一意要賺錢幫助父親, 減輕負擔. 她是從7歲開始, 就被發現有跳水天份, 而參加跳水訓練, 14歲就得到奧運冠軍, 很多評論家都會用到 : 十年跳水無人問, 一躍成名天下知 - 來形容她的爆紅.

可是這個事實, 與從前的賣身救親, 或簽賣身契做長工, 又有多大的不同呢? 貧窮的孩子早當家, 沒傘的孩子跑得快, 雖是讚美之詞, 其背後反映的, 又是什麼樣不公不正的社會惰性與不良制度呢?

的確, 英雄出少年是美談, 但是, 這個台上一分鐘透紅背後, 十年如何磨一劍, 是如何下的老式苦功夫, 也就一點一滴的被披露了, 包括我在這兒寫的幾句話.

孩子有快樂的童年, 不是很多父母最大的希望嗎? 的確, 對廣大的貧下階層, 卻是奢望. 全紅嬋, 稚氣未脫地說到從沒有去過動物園以及兒童遊樂場. 她提及希望能夠去玩一玩.  

雖說有天份要提早栽培, 有多少父母, 忍心把小小年紀的孩子, 送去做類似成人
- 專制極權全套嚴格的訓練呢 ? 為什麼?

很多像她一樣年紀小小 (大多數來自貧困的家庭) 背後所承擔的超人式嚴格訓練, 以及她/他們所屬國家的意識形態與目的所造成的不能為人道的辛酸苦楚, 到底是怎麼一回事呢?  有人評論說, 這是給貧窮小孩了一個翻身, 提升向上社會流動, 改變家運的的機會, 應該感謝黨恩浩蕩. 但是讓貧困中長大的小孩便便宜宜地吃盡苦中苦, 讓黨國權貴階級高大上地成為人上人, 這種生意, 倒是挺好做的, 不是嗎? 至於童工法 (Child Labor Law), 或者相關的未成年人工作法 (Minor Labor Law), 是如何看待這類似的問題呢?

俗話說棒下出孝子, 不打不成器, 而且是要打鐵趁熱. 這些道理, 一般是立基於傳統專制威權性格的社會裡, 比較說得通. 但我們熟知的莫札特, 麥克喬登, 老虎伍茲, 李小龍, 約翰米爾等等天縱英才, 並非生於傳統權威性格的社會, 也是要經過非常嚴格的訓練, 才能開花結果. 所以這個問題, 就不外乎是生物基因與社會環境互動下的一個重要現象. 如何伯樂發現千里馬, 如何讓千里馬得以全力發展潛能, 不同的社會則有不同的理論與實踐.

比如有些社會, 視兒童無謂的玩樂嬉戲, 是浪費時間與效益. 孩子沒有所謂的快樂不快樂, 童年不童年的事兒. 一般中上階層, 孩子從小就被訓練成小大人. 被安排密密麻麻的訓練課程, 好讓在生命的起跑線上, 賣力地把別人家的小孩狠狠丟的在後頭- 離得越遠越好.  再者, 透過 一套既定的社會化過程, 模塑孩子的類別, 在上等社會, 就被積極栽培成為國家社會菁英, 在農工階級, 孩子更是重要的私人財產, 是廉價好使喚的勞動力來源之一.  所以不必和費希特 (Fichte) 黑格爾 (Hegel) 的國家理論相連結, 孩子就是家庭國家的資產, 所謂快樂的童年, 大概僅存在於權貴家庭偶爾有的點綴.

在原本共產/社會主義裡的觀念之一, 為了避免孩子成為資本主義父權社會下個人家庭的資產, 以及由於貧富不均所造成 的人性剝削, 對兒童的社會化過程, 陷下不平等發展的基礎, 因此對孩子的教育放置於國家社會之手, 以比較公平公正, 並且有效率地運用有限的社會資源, 培訓各種不同天才與人才. 比如中共過去的人民公社, 公共育兒堂, 一杯水主義等等, 根據馬克思恩克斯原本的理念, 計畫用國家的力量, 來發展兒童的不同天賦與潛力.

然而眾所周知, 中共是一個 "勇於實踐驗證真理" 的偽政權. 早期的革命熱誠, 剷除千年封建餘毒, 土豪劣紳/黑五類所造成的階級不平等, 替天行道的高偉貴使命, 終究熬不過權力的滋味, 抵不過財色的迷戀. 在過去革命與實驗的歷程當中, 比如1958到1960的大躍進實驗, 窮死餓死三千萬人口, 也不過是一時的灰飛煙滅. 一個擁有14億人口的專制集權國家, 拿人口, 老鼠, 做實驗, 會有什麼難處?  這也令我聯想到早期美國在1932到1972年的塔司基基悲劇 (Tuskegee Tragedy). 在此案件中, 美國阿拉巴馬州 600 個貧困黑人男性, 被選用做實驗梅毒疫苗的秘密醫學研究. 那是基於根深蒂固的種族歧視, 而間接產生的一個悲劇 (看看21世紀的 "厲害我的國", 對維吾爾人的集中營款待, 對法輪功學員, 和其他窮人, 坐監的人,活摘/銷售人體器官, 中共網壇女將彭帥, 被前副總理張高麗與其妻共同逼姦, 而投訴無門等等慘狀, 可是罄竹難書), 爾後, 因研究環境的品質提升, 人權意識高漲, 保護弱勢族群的聲音越來越響, 這個塔司基基的悲劇, 歷經多面向的嚴重批判, 於是有了IRB (Institutional Review Boards) 的濫觴, 來規範科學研究的人權問題.

一個文明國家的指標, 難道不外乎是, 具有自我反省批判 (self-policing) 的勇氣與能耐, 尊重人權, 保護動物與地球權?!

沒有那長期醞釀, 涵養落實的人本思想人道主義根深氛圍, 哪得在山貯雲, 出山為雨的功夫? 用偷吃步, 吃緊弄破碗, 積水不厚, 可不是載舟也無力呀...

接著, 國家/民族主義, 是具有相當的正功能, 然而, 反功能與潛功能也待勢而發. 一旦過度或偏態的發展, 或義畸形地伸張, 這發現與發展兒童天資與潛能的培訓, 就大有可能變了質. 在專制獨裁的國家, 更易流於以百姓為芻狗, 以成就掌控權力者, 與其核心集團的意志.(套用毛先生一個老掉牙的典故: 核戰有什麼可怕的?! 炸掉一半的江山, 我還有好幾個億人口可以用著呢 !) 無論是極左或者極右派, 國家民族主義, 是極其有效的意識形態工具, 以國家神聖的招牌, 來達成掌權集團的目的. 希特勒的納粹黨, 雖掛名國家社會主義工人黨, 而實質上卻是個極右派的集極政黨.

現在社會與學術界有很多育兒理論, 如何讓孩子有個好品質的童年, 也就是身心健全自由快樂又能接受嚴格培訓的兩全其美良方, 我是外行, 所以就不多談.

現在把上面嚴肅的話題轉到現實的層面: 提到她的家, 霎那間, 本來灰灰黑黑一片, 門不可羅雀的住戶, 頓時車水罵龍雞犬不寧: 媒體炒作者, 老中青粉紅, 維黨恩者, 攀龍附鳳者, 追星者, 莫名其妙騷擾者, 獻金貢銀者等等 - 真個罄竹難舒, 全都湧到她的住處. 當地的領導, 在她無意間透露出的一絲絲百年難遇的 - 真消息- 之後, 不得不一夜間, 把小姑娘的家, 粉刷整頓一番, 門前的淤泥雜草, 也全給清了. 高級領導也立刻宣布她的娘跟爺爺的病, 醫療一切免費. 還有一些開發商的產家, 要送房送屋. 有一個視頻亮出一個商家, 掏出20萬人民幣, 要給他的父親. 他父親堅決不接受.

然而更令人心酸的, 是她的母親, 在不經意的閒聊當中, 說到嫁到這個全家來, 完全不知道有這麼多從未謀面的遠親近戚, 都上門來沾親帶故. 在貧病交迫的時候, 無人聞, 無人問, 讓一個 小女孩, 一心一意要拿到金牌, 賺到更多的錢, 來為家人治病. 這也是令人心疼的地方. 

俗話說的- 貧居鬧市無人問, 富在鄉間有遠親, 一點也不俗! 透過一個國家經常上演的浮世繪 - 很摩登!

歷史上類似如此的被人前倨後恭的例子很多, 最有名的, 大概就屬戰國時代, 身佩六國相印的蘇秦吧? 而描寫世態炎涼人心可畏, 最活靈活現的, 可能莫過於清代小説家吳敬梓創作的儒林外史中的范進中舉?

現摘錄一段蘇秦發跡之前, 連家人都看不起的落魄景象:

眾所周知, 蘇秦與張儀同出自鬼谷子門下，學習縱橫之術。學成後，外出遊歷多年, 卻是不見重用. 身無分文, 衣著破爛地回到家鄉. 回到家的時候, 他在織布的老婆連頭也不抬, 父母也不和他說話。尤其是那嫂子, 指著對他說, 我們飯都吃完了, 沒留你的份兒.

“過幾天，蘇秦父親過生日。他哥哥端了一大杯酒去祝壽，父親接過了酒, 很高興地讚歎說, “這酒真是甘美啊!” 輪到蘇秦, 他也端了一杯酒去向父親祝壽, 父親沒什麼嚐, 就大聲罵道, “這個酒, 那麼酸!” 於是蘇秦趕快從哥哥那邊, 借了一大杯酒, 再向父親祝壽, 然而他的父親仍然罵道, “這個酒這麼酸, 能喝嗎?” 蘇秦很不服氣地申辩, 這可是從大哥那邊借來的酒啊. ” 父親回罵一聲, “再怎麼好的東西, 經過你的手都會被你糟蹋了. “



之後, 蘇晴決心更加的用功, 常常讀書到三更半夜，想睡覺時，就拿一把錐子，一打瞌睡， 就用錐子往大腿上刺一下 (這與孫敬的懸樑, 合成這句耳熟能詳, 激勵莘莘學子的成語: 懸梁刺股), 這樣繼續發憤圖強, 精研縱橫術。"後來遊說六國，合縱成功，身掛六國相印。功成名就後，有一天蘇秦路過洛陽，回故鄉一趟。這次，他的兄、弟、妻、嫂對他皆側目而不敢正視，俯伏侍奉飲食。蘇秦見狀，於是笑著對他嫂子說, ” 為何前倨而後恭呢？” 他嫂子又怕又羞，跪在地上以頭叩地說：' 見叔叔位高多金。'   蘇秦聽了，不禁感嘆地說, '貧賤則父母不子，富貴則親戚畏懼，人生世上，勢位富貴，蓋可忽乎哉！' " (史記． 卷六九． 蘇秦列傳).

至於范進中舉中, 吳敬梓對一向瞧不起范進的岳父胡屠戶, 在女婿中舉前後截然不同的態度, 有著生動鮮明, 令人捧腹噴飯, 唏噓慨嘆的刻畫, 不下於蘇秦的狀況, 在此就不再贅敘.
(可參閱 http://203.71.212.37/school/guowenke/new_page_371.htm.)

前面提到全紅嬋受訪問時, 談到心願的景象, 令人心痛. 也想起以前某人A, 因為一個獎學金, 就在他鄉異地唸書, 有一天A的妹妹送了一個 email 給A, 說, ‘”真巧啊, 這裡有一部電影, 女主人翁的故事, 很像你喔…” A說, “真有這回事啊, 是哪部電影?” A的妹妹說, “叫做油麻菜籽. “ "不錯喔", A說, "好像以前有聽過這一部小說."  後來呢A也找到這個電影, 看了一下, "的確, 有一部分情節, 蠻像的."

那幾十年以前的童工雜工歷練, 以及一切為了母親的境遇, 似乎, 還永無止息的在這個世界裡被遺忘的一些角落, 重複的上演…

至於欺貧重富, 巴結權貴, 是人性的普同現象, 尤其是在貧富懸殊特別嚴重的社會. 因為財富名利 是稀有的貴珍, 有人是生來就擁有的 (不過看官也可持平的說: 創業維艱, 守成也不易); 有些人, 則要極其努力, 或賣命賺來些成就的. 那些生來就擁有的, 是金字塔階層頂端的的1%人口. 靠著個人努力與社會連帶賺來的, 大概也是階層上面的5%人口, 所以一般平凡而有著不同程度努力的85%人口, 對這稀有的名利權勢, 一般來說會持有隱隱約約的羨慕與渴望 (當然啦, 也可能有很多例外), 對吧 (用個外國人的語氣)? 但是對於無法獲得, 或難以滿足的失落憂慮, 如何自我療衛呢? 還好, 人的心性是個萬能的機構, 為人類製造出一種叫做 "認同防禦機制", 如果運轉得當, 具有相當的自行調理的功能.

最早提出的這個心理學上心理自衛機轉專有名詞的學者是 Laughlin. 他於1979 pointed out that identification was an ego defense or mental mechanism through which an individual in varying degree made himself or herself like someone whom s/he identified with. This results in the unconsciousness that takes over various elements of the identified person.” 簡譯: 人的各式各樣的自我心裡防禦機制當中, 有一種叫做認同防禦的機轉. 一般是透過對一些特別人物, 加以認同的現象, 來達到心理上的滿足感. 例如追星哈星, 熱情粉絲, 或者對名人英雄的崇拜或追隨, 分享他們的光環, 認同他們的成就, 在心理上或潛意識裡, 視同是自己的一般, 以產生內心微妙的滿足感.



適度的心裡認同機制, 對平衡身心, 有所助益, 避免因為達不到獲不得, 產生不良的心理現象, 而危害個人或社會. 但是有些社會文化中的個人, 對於擁有美色權勢名利地位的人物, 過度阿諛奉承, 巴結討好, 例如水滸傳, 官場現形記, 拍案驚奇, 儒林外史等等警世諷世著作中, 有許多活生生地刻畫出人性陰暗面, 赤裸裸地道盡世態炎涼, 令人唏噓的描述, 可能會導致有些人對人性的置疑; 正向地來說, 或者有些憂心社會者, 會致力於加強社會化過程中的環境與制度之導進.

話說回來, 過度的認同機制, 多少顯示出不健康的心態. 就近一點的來說, 比如當前在媒體上的炒作, 明星抖出的比基尼, 運動襪子, 貓貓, 狗狗, 都會被按上百萬個讚, 為他們瘋狂癡迷. 至於捐款救災, 記錄生靈塗炭的貼文, 則少有人關注. 還有像攸關你生機的老闆, 掌控你成績的教授, 以及歌星影星運動健將, 伶牙利嘴長袖善舞的閃亮政客之類的的芝麻綠豆渣事, 下屬, 學生, 星迷, 影迷, 政迷, 立馬按讚恭維, 尤其是對權富個人或集團, 傾訴違心之論 - 迎逢巴結, 恐落於人後. 總之, 給他們來個神不知鬼不覺, 秘密式的自我認同一下, 以自我心裡療衛一番.

蘇秦與范進等輩, 大概也歎: 前見古人, 後視來者, 念天地之悠悠, 資訊時代恐有過之而無不及?

如此過度認同的狂熱 (cult-like), 反映出多少社會發展的偏態? 如何在個人社會化的過程當中, 減少諸如此類的不良社會環境誘因與刺激?

在此, 我貼上幾張不久之前做的雜記, 作為本文的結尾:
(A few posters done before were attached as parts of the conclusion.)
