Recently, the world's headlines have been reporting on the shooting of former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe while speaking in the street. The killer used a gun, and the shot was deadly. Even other weapons could kill Abe. Most people are paying attention to the news of Abe's death. In fact, they should understand the psychological activities of the murderer. Why did the murderer shoot Abe? What is the murderer's mentality to kill the former prime minister? We have a discussion on this issue.

1. The psychology that shooting can achieve the goal

In recent years, shootings have occurred frequently all over the world, and even the law cannot restrain these murderers from committing crimes. Then there must be some reason for such a ferocious behavior. The first is to satisfy the murderer's psychology to achieve his goal. These murderers don't want to kill in the first place, they are usually blocked in some way, and the frustration that comes with it makes them extremely uncomfortable. So, murderers will want to achieve their goals in other ways, because frustration is also a highly motivating emotion, an emotion that needs to be eliminated. If, when a person can not control their own life, or even doubt their ability to achieve their goals, they will feel very depressed. Therefore, the easiest way to solve this problem is to need the murderer to pull the trigger and choose a shooting target, so as to achieve this goal and prove himself.

2. Shooting can suppress the psychology of emotions

Usually when people are in a negative mood, they are likely to do some self-aggressive behaviors, such as throwing things, kicking things, and even serious self-harm and suicide. The psychological method that the murderer wants to alleviate will only reduce the pain caused by the negative emotion until the source of the negative emotion has been identified. Think back to whether you hammered a wall when you were angry, or cursed when you were depressed and miserable. Shooting murderers often lack the way to deal with emotional regulation. Therefore, in the murderer's mind, picking up a gun to kill the other party may be the best way to suppress emotions.

3. Psychological satisfaction can be obtained by shooting

Everyone hopes to get corresponding rewards or benefits after they have invested time and energy in one thing. But if there is a shortcut in front of us, sometimes we actually prefer to take a shortcut, and so does the murderer. Because it can get results immediately, without investing the necessary time and energy, but can get a good return. So, when the murderer chooses to shoot the murder, the murderer gets instant gratification. Perhaps the murderer has a complex psychology before committing the murder, but once the action is taken, the result is instantaneous. This timely return will make the murderer feel very satisfied.

4. The psychology that shooting can be recognized

Everyone wants to be recognized, and no one wants to be denied all the time. Recognition is a prerequisite for success. If a person is not recognized by others for a long time, it means that his ability has been denied. Many psychopaths, rapists, and murderers are often described as loners because of their lack of outside attention and recognition. Until the murderers committed unimaginable crimes, this previously lonely and miserable person will immediately get the world's attention. Because the murderer feels that through this abnormal behavior and the death of others, he can obtain the satisfaction of his own ability and the affirmation of the outside world. The murderer who shot Abe has the same mentality.
