It was a game of one-upmanship. 2, record 1, English, - one%2Dupmanship

Comme Freud, son successeur Potter a observé et classé beaucoup de phénomènes de frustration humaine. L'état de frustration de base est appelé One down ou descente, et l'euphorie provoquée par la suppression de la frustration one-up ou avantage. Il estime que les hommes ont un besoin inné de monter du premier état au second. Et la technique nécessaire à cette élévation est appelée par lui technique de l'avantage. (PRINPET, 75). 1, record 3, French, - technique%20de%20l%27avantage
