Value Judgment

Earlier, I listened to an electronic dance music (EDM) DJ set, by a Brasilian DJ going by the name Dani Ebner, as part of her Pão de Queijo Sessions music series. For clarity, pão de queijo is a small cheese bread, baked cheese roll, or cheese ball, which is a popular snack and breakfast food in Brasil, originating in the state of Minas Gerais, Brasil—from which Ebner hails.

 

When enlisted in the United States (U.S.) Marine Corps (1996-2007), while serving as a Marine Security Guard (MSG; 1999-2001), I often ate pão de queijo. Thus, while listening to Ebner’s set and occasionally watching the associated video, I recalled an event from my time as an MSG.

 

In particular, I thought of a psychoeducational lesson on Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT). Specifically, during the era when I frequently ate pão de queijo, a Marine Corps captain who was infamous for his bullying style of MSG inspections visited Rio de Janeiro, Brasil.

 

As a member of MSG detachment (det) Rio, I didn’t know exactly what to anticipate or expect regarding the captain’s visit. One rumor circling the MSG communication network was that prior to his trip to Rio, the captain had apparently failed another MSG det during their inspection.

 

Precisely, I was informed that as the mess (i.e., food) non-commissioned officer (NCO)—the MSG personally responsible and accountable for collecting funds for food, procuring edible products, and maintaining a detailed log of transitions, my mess NCO logs would be audited.

 

For context, imagine that there were eight Marines in the det. In this scenario, suppose that I collected $600 from each MSG, totaling $4,800. I used those funds to purchase products from the U.S., as well as buying items from local markets in Brasil. I logged all financial activity.

 

Reportedly, the captain who visited the det prior to Rio was said to have exhibited negative, but unhealthy anger and aggression when a mess NCO’s log was mathematically unbalanced. Also, members of our det were told that the captain failed MSGs on their uniform inspections.

 

For clarity, MSGs were required to keep pristine uniform items to such an onerous degree that many of us had two sets of uniforms—those that we wore, and those unworn items which were solely for purposes of inspection (e.g., pressed underwear with proper identification markings).


 

In the photo above is my uniform locker that was used for uniform inspections. If you look closely, you can see that the locker door alignment is off. This is because following the captain’s MSG det Rio visit, my uniform locker was thereafter damaged. The captain lost his shit!

 

Specifically, as I’d been warned, the captain tore through my mess NCO log and I failed my audit, due to something like a thirteen-cent surplus. Afterward, he extracted uniform items from my locker, tossed them across my room, and yelled at me, apparently trying to prod me to react.

 

Even though I didn’t get along with the MSG det Rio assistant det commander, he attempted to console me during the captain’s episode of negative, but unhealthy anger and aggression. “It’s okay,” he said to me as the captain was tearing through my locker, “it’ll be over soon.”

 

Now, REBT uses the ABC model to illustrate that when an undesirable Action occurs and you Believe an unhelpful narrative about it, it’s your unfavorable assumption, not the occurrence itself, that causes an unpleasant Consequence. This is known as distress or disturbance.

 

Noteworthy, with virtually any undesirable Action that occurs, it’s your unfavorable Beliefs which cause unpleasant distress or disturbance (Consequence). Given this framing of self-distress and self-disturbance, it’s worth noting that one REBT source states (page 71):

 

REBT conceptualizes [distress] as healthy even though it is intense. Other approaches to therapy have as their goal the reduction of the intensity of negative emotions. They take this position because they do not keenly differentiate between healthy negative emotions (distress) and unhealthy negative emotions (disturbance).

 

Now, REBT keenly distinguishes between healthy distress and unhealthy disturbance. Healthy distress stems from your rational beliefs about a negative activating event [Action], whilst disturbance stems from your irrational beliefs about the same event.

 

Complete elimination of distress is highly unlikely in an impermanent and uncertain world wherein people conceptually suffer, struggle, and battle with, or merely experience hardship. Still, individuals often make matters worse for themselves by disturbing about such instances.

 

In particular, there are four predominate irrational beliefs which people often use to distress or disturb themselves: global evaluations, low frustration tolerance, awfulizing, and demandingness. When contemplating these unproductive beliefs, think of the acronym GLAD.

 

Worth noting, the two forms of should, must, and ought demands with which people most often distress or disturb are associated with use of absolutistic and conditional beliefs. Generally speaking, these scripts serve as inflexible commands used toward oneself, others, and life.

 

An absolute must narrative is, “You absolutely must do as I say!” A conditional should narrative is, “Either you should do as I say, or you should be punished!” Noteworthy, in REBT literature, demandingness of this sort is said to function as a primary appraisal mechanism of self-upset.

 

Global evaluations (i.e., self-downing, other-downing, and life-downing), low frustration tolerance (also known as frustration intolerance), and awfulizing (e.g., terrible, horrible, etc.) function as secondary appraisal mechanisms. Together, GLAD will make you sad or mad, etc.

 

While still functioning as prescriptive rather than descriptive, flexible use of recommendatory, preferential, ideal, empirical, moral and ethical, and legal ought beliefs won’t inevitably cause disturbance, as they may align with distress. Rigidity versus flexibility makes a difference.

 

Additionally, from a psychological standpoint, people distress or disturb themselves using a Belief-Consequence (B-C) connection. Of course, this isn’t to suggest that in the context of the naturalistic or physical world there is no Action-Consequence (A-C) connection.

 

From an A-C view, a captain used bullying antics during my logbook and uniform inspection (Action), as I unfavorably failed my audit and uniform inspections (Consequence). It was undesirable. Still, it was my B-C, but not A-C, connection that caused an unpleasant reaction.

 

Now, consider that the American Psychological Association (APA) defines value as both “a moral, social, or aesthetic principle accepted by an individual or society as a guide to what is good, desirable, or important” and “the worth, usefulness, or importance attached to something.”

 

I had a value regarding mutual respect. Yet, the captain apparently didn’t value my principle. Also worth noting, the APA defines judgment as “the capacity to recognize relationships, draw conclusions from evidence, and make critical evaluations of events and people.”

 

During the captain’s bullying episode, I judged his behavior as intolerable. Concerning this unhelpfully drawn conclusion, it’s further worth noting that the APA thusly defines value judgment:

 

[A]n assessment of individuals, objects, or events in terms of the values held by the observer rather than in terms of their intrinsic characteristics objectively considered. In some areas, such as aesthetics or morality, where there often are no objective right or wrong responses, value judgments are common, but in hard and social sciences they are frequently considered undesirable.

 

If it’s worth (i.e., if it has value) saying once, I maintain that it’s valuable to say it twice! The APA noted, “In some areas, such as aesthetics or morality, where there often are no objective right or wrong responses.” I, too, maintain that there’s no evidence of objective morality.

 

For instance, value judgements regarding what I considered good, bad, right, and wrong clearly weren’t shared by the Marine captain who inspected MSG det Rio. Now, for your further consideration, one source states:

 

A value judgment (or normative judgment) is a judgement of the rightness or wrongness of something or someone, or of the usefulness of something or someone. A value judgment is a thought about something based on what it “ought” or “should” be given an opinion about what counts as “good” or “bad” — a contrast from a thought based on what the facts are.

 

E.g. “The government should improve access to education” is a value judgment (that education is good). “People will buy less of our products if our price goes up” is not a value judgment because it is based on the fact that people tend to buy less of a more expensive product.

 

It can be used either in a positive sense, signifying that a judgment must be made taking a value system into account, or in a disparaging sense, signifying a judgment made by personal whim rather than objective thought or evidence.

 

When a captain used bullying antics during my logbook and uniform inspection, as I unfavorably failed my audit and uniform inspections (Action), I used an unproductive value judgement about him and the experience. Now, I invite you to consider my unhelpful B-C connection.

 

The captain used bullying antics (Action) and I Believed, “This worthless dick was gonna fail me either way [G], and I can’t stand this motherfucker [L], as it’s terrible that I can’t put hands on him [A], because I absolutely should be able to push back against his fucked-up behavior [D]!”

 

When using that unaccommodating GLAD value judgement (Belief), I then experienced negative, but unhealthy anger and aggression (Consequence). Unhelpfully, the reaction to my Beliefs caused similar negative, but unhealthy anger and aggression exhibited by the captain.

 

Addressing how people upset themselves with unhelpful attitudes, the ABC model incorporates Disputation of unproductive philosophies of life in order to explore Effective new beliefs. Whereas rigid beliefs cause self-disturbance, flexible beliefs result in an un-disturbed condition.

 

When listening to an EDM DJ set by Dani Ebner, I thought of a psychoeducational lesson on REBT which I’ve outlined herein. Now, I encourage you to use the ABC model so that you don’t needlessly self-disturb with an unhelpful value judgment.
