What happens psychologically when one is lost at sea? Why does one person survive while another perishes? Is there a personality type that makes one person better at handling the elements, fear and loneliness? Until recently, science has been completely in the dark about what makes a survivor. Now experts are intensifying their search to demystify the psychology of survival, analysing personality traits among people who triumph over life-threatening crises – and those who succumb. In a life-threatening situation the brain immediately triggers a state of shock, sending alarms through the body. Your emergency response system shifts into gear. Blood pressure rises, muscles tense, adrenalin pumps. If you survive initially, you then shift mental gears to longer-term planning – whatever you have to do to survive. Next you go into the resistance phase; a chronic coping state, in which the body tries to maintain balance in the face of threat, danger and deprivation. Later, one of two things happens: you enter an exhaustion phase, in which the coping mechanisms are overwhelmed, you lose strength, and die – as often happens – or you persevere long enough and get rescued or escape the situation. Who survives, it turns out, isn’t determined by age, physical stamina, or experience. Although one would expect people who are fitter to be the best candidates to make it back alive, the mind, that great trickster, isn’t ruled by logic. Last summer, for example, a sailboat sank. It was being steered by Nicholas Abbott, who often transported pleasure boats from the Caribbean to New York. With him was his friend, Janet Culver, a reserved woman, not a risk-taker, making her first long-distance cruise. If you worked for an insurance agency, you’d bet Abbott would be the one to return alive. Yet he’s the one who died. After 10 days adrift in a tiny dinghy, battling 16-foot waves and thundershowers, Abbott – hungry, thirsty, and delirious – said he was going to swim home, jumped overboard and drowned. Culver, covered with sun blisters and too weak to sit, would not give up. “Each day I stayed alive was another chance to be rescued,” she told me. “Something deep inside told me to hang on one more day.” While Abbott let his depression get the better of him, Culver evaluated his situation in small, manageable increments. She kept her mind open. It is important to remain mentally active, dwelling on positive things. “Don’t give up”, say the experts. “Drive your thoughts to things that make you happy. Have fantasies. In other words, play games with your mind. Don’t let it play tricks on you, which experts say it does. The mind goes from hope for rescue, to isolation, to depression. These feelings come, go and vary in order. You have a better chance of survival with other people there. Just being able to say “I’m not going to do what he’s doing” helps handle negative thinking. Highly destructive is the “last chance” phenomenon: rescue is visible, but they don’t see you. You start thinking “That was my only chance; they won’t be back again!” Then you feel doomed. In the end, long-term exposure causes delirium. You start drinking salt water, which causes more delusions. In the cold, people sometimes start HSGVH11- 2023 Page 5/9
7. shedding garments and a trail of clothes is found. Paradoxically, these people interpret their coldness as warmth. Researchers studying people who triumph over life-threatening crises are finding survivors share common personality traits: high self-esteem and optimism. Often the difference in mental, rather than physical toughness determines who will endure. Survivors often have a strong belief system outside themselves, in family and religion. Once you give into the sense of abandonment, you give up. Survivors tend to be tenacious in a self-preserving way. They do the right things under pressure. Even though Culver was technically less skilled at sea, she didn’t lose her head. Abbott panicked, left the safest position, and exposed himself to death. The experts attribute this fighting spirit to an immeasurable factor. They can measure weight, age, sex, swimming ability, flotation, quality of clothing – finite things. But they can’t measure the will to live. The only true measure of it is who stares into the abyss and doesn’t blink. 1.

She had little or no relevant sailing experience. B. She didn’t take Abbott’s advice. C. She didn’t appear to have a very strong character. D. She was nervous of being at sea. 4. What is one reason why the presence of other people with you in a survival situation can sometimes help you to survive? A. They tell you not to give up. B. You can play games with them to keep awake. C. They remind you of how not to behave. D. They can help you look out for rescue vehicles. 5. Why is near-rescue destructive? A. It makes the person lose hope. B. The person knows they will not get another C. It causes delirium. chance. D. People usually try to swim to the rescue vessel. 6. Why can’t scientists measure the will to live? A. Because it is different in every person. B. Because it is an abstract quality. C. Because it changes throughout a person’s D. Because people are reluctant to be analysed in life. such a way. 7.
