Record 4 2012-01-17

English

Subject field(s)
  • Human Behaviour
DEF

The state of limiting, moderating, restricting or keeping under control the following elements: emotions, anger, spending, vices, etc.

OBS

Caution: "restraint" and "constraint" are only synonyms if they are used figuratively to denote the means of preventing one from doing something, such as in the expressions "social constraints" or "social restraints". In other instances, because of the quirks of usage, they cannot be used interchangeably. "Restraint", in particular, is a highly polysemous term. It can denote a device that restricts movement (= restraining device); it can denote the control over one's expression, emotions or urges, i.e. moderation (DE: Mäßigung) in addition to the figurative definition already cited above. "Constraint" is strictly an abstract term and can have the same figurative meaning as "restraint" cited above or it can have the slightly stronger meaning of repressing (and not simply controlling) one's own feelings, behavior, or actions.

PHR

Lack of restraint.

PHR

Record 5 2012-01-16

English

Subject field(s)
  • Medical Instruments and Devices
  • Clinical Psychology
DEF

A device used to restrict movement or to confine a person, whether he or she is violently psychotic or irrational.

OBS

"Restraint" and "constraint" are quasi-synonyms. Because of usage they cannot be used interchangeably. "Restraint", in particular, is a polysemous term. It can denote a device that restricts movement; it can denote the control over one's expression or emotions or it can denote the series of actions taken to immobilize someone or something. "Constraint", on the other hand, is simply the state of being restricted, or compelled to avoid or perform some action or it can be the repression (and not simply control) of one's own feelings, behavior, or actions.

CONT

... intermediate psychiatric cases: Patients requiring made-up litter, sedation or other medication and not normally requiring the use of restraining apparatus.

PHR

Full body restraint.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Instruments et appareillages médicaux
  • Psychologie clinique
OBS

contention : immobilisation (de malades mentaux) par divers moyens (camisole, ceinture, etc.). Nota : le terme «contention» tout seul désigne l'action de maintenir en place, et non l'instrument destiné à cette fin.

Record 6 2012-01-16

English

Subject field(s)
  • Social Psychology
DEF

A restrictive condition, force or influence.

OBS

Caution: "restraint" and "constraint" are only synonyms if they are used figuratively to denote the means of preventing one from doing something, such as in the expressions "social constraints" or "social restraints". In other instances, because of the quirks of usage, they cannot be used interchangeably. "Restraint", in particular, is a highly polysemous term. It can denote a device that restricts movement (= restraining device); it can denote the control over one's expression, emotions or urges, i.e. moderation (DE: Mäßigung) in addition to the figurative definition already cited in this observation. "Constraint" is strictly an abstract term and can have the same figurative meaning as "restraint" cited above or it can have the slightly stronger meaning of repressing (and not simply controlling) one's own feelings, behavior, or actions.

CONT

[Deindividuation is] the process whereby social restraints are weakened, and impulsive and aggressive tendencies released ....

PHR
