Direct, direct impact is opposed to indirect or mediated impact. The boundaries here are controversial, but in most cases clear.
If you took an apple from a vase with your hand, this action is immediate. If you want to eat a cutlet, but ask the hostess for a fork, you are a well-mannered person who knows that you don’t take a cutlet directly by hand.
Direct, direct interaction with people is the most familiar thing that any person can do. When everything is simple and you don’t need to be smart, you can act quite directly and openly, without philosophizing slyly. I don’t know how to get there, I asked. Interested — he asks. Asked and received. Here’s the check, wrap it up, please. I have the right — I demanded, I have something — I bought it, I smiled — I received a smile in response.
Direct, immediate influence in the upbringing of a child is sometimes the simplest and most effective method. The child does not know something — you told him, does not understand — explained, does not know how — taught. He is marking time, does not know what decision to make — they sent him in the right direction. He doesn’t know how exciting something is — you played with him and made him happy. He began to do bad things — they stopped him, he got used to the unnecessary, harmful or dangerous — they weaned him off. He does it right — he was supported and gradually accustomed to this. All these are direct influences, the main components of both the management of the child and his upbringing.
You can directly influence both others and yourself, including your own state. Sometimes the addressee of the influence is in a passive position: a person is affected by the speech of another person or music, he takes vitamins or receives a massage — here the person is only an object of influence, often with a parasitic expectation «Doctor, lose weight!». If a person practices gymnastics, relaxes himself with the help of auto-training, this is a more active and more effective position, where a person is both an object and a subject of influence.
In a simple situation, you can act quite openly, but life sometimes gives us more difficult tasks. Sometimes you won’t demand directly, there’s nothing to be especially interested in, or this is regarded as a bribe, and an attempt to organize a situation that is convenient for us is stopped in the bud. In this case, more effective are indirect, indirect influences, the use of a third force — the Tactics strategy.
People who are confident in themselves and in their abilities, who assess the situation as simple, uncomplicated, are usually inclined to direct and immediate influences — more often they are men and by the type of personality they are Siloviki. Another type that uses this strategy is Dushki: people who are gentle, appreciate good relationships and love to please people. However, direct influences are often used by those who find it difficult or fearful to come up with a more complex combination: people who are lazy or find it difficult to think, people who are less smart and less flexible.
