Illusory Control

This research evaluated the perception of personal control and the number of wins and losses in gambling. Subjects were invited to play roulette. Monetary risk-behavior was recorded. Results showed that most subjects reported some degree of primary or secondary illusory control during the game. Frequent wins induced more personal control than infrequent wins. The implications of these results are discussed in the context of the psychology of gambling behavior.

A Site

This essay’s close interrogation of James Baldwin’s 1956 novel Giovanni’s Room allows us to see one aspect of how sexual shame functions: it shows how shame exposes anxiety not only about the feminizing force of homosexuality, but about how being the object of the gaze is feminizing—and therefore shameful. It also shows that the paradigm of the closet is not the metaphor of privacy and enclosure on one hand and openness and liberation on the other that it is commonly thought to be, but instead is a site of illusory control over whether one is available to be seen and therefore humiliated by being feminized. Further, the essay reveals the paradox of denial, where one must first know the thing that is at the same time being disavowed or denied. The narrative requirements of fictions such as Giovanni’s Room demonstrate this, as it requires that the narrator both know, in order to narrate, and not know something at the same time.
