The growing pressure to become fully vaccinated leaves some individuals feeling bullied and without reasonable choices and personal freedoms. For example, employers may mandate vaccination, or employees may face mandatory testing or other penalties if they are not vaccinated. During these difficult times of feeling pressured to conform, how do we make good decisions based on the greater good? Psychology informs us that conformity is neither good nor bad until we assign a social reward, threat level, or fear type. As we calculate losses and gains in a decision driven by self-regard and the regard for others, polar conflicts between reason and emotion happen that may challenge personal identity and purpose. Feeling bullied is a reasonable emotion from such conflict unless you genuinely examine the meaning you assign to conformity and why it matters in self-regard and the regard of others.
