Individual and community values conflict with the approach of cognitive science and reduction strategies to increase mental health; an opinion study

Classification of human values is based on the perceived experiences (physical and emotional) and educations they receive. The classification of values and beliefs depend on receiving bonuses and avoiding of damages which change during life. If a person sees conflicts between what his previous experiences and educations predicted and what’s happening, he will face with contradictions. The place of perceiving contradictions or high risk selection was recognized in cingulate cortex. Feeling the paradoxes activates a new decision-making processes in the brain in order to make changes. In fact, during an adaptation process, the person changes the classifications of his beliefs to face contradictions less than ever. Feeling paradoxes leads to bringing about stress and insecurity which damages the brain heath. In different people, the range of compliances in normal distribution, is variable. As a result, the majority of the population headed toward compliance with common and dominant values, but not necessarily the dominant values in accordance with the nature and mental health. Therefore, modifying the dominant values of society is a critical step in providing mental health from the perspective of cognitive function of the brain.
