별 걱정없어 보이는 평범한 사람들이 중독에 취약한 이유 | 중독에서 빠져나오는 방법 | 나쁜 습관 없애는 간단한 방법 | 김경일 교수의 심리학 강의

Cognitive psychology and neuroscience do not view the characteristics of people who are particularly vulnerable to addiction simply as a lack of willpower. Rather, they explain it in terms of how the brain's reward circuit operates, environmental factors, and differences in cognitive habits. People are prone to falling into addictions that provide quick and easy rewards when negative emotions such as loneliness, anxiety, depression, or boredom strike. It is said that once a habit is imprinted on the brain and becomes automated, it is impossible to eliminate. In particular, when we are exhausted or stressed, the brain shuts down the 'habit controller' circuit first to conserve cognitive energy. This is why bad habits unconsciously resurface when we are struggling. However, there is a solution. You simply need to overlay a good habit on top of a bad one. This involves overlaying a new behavior on top of an existing behavioral pattern, and the key is the "if, when, then" rule. This is because the brain recognizes a pattern only when there are specific preconditions, not vague goals. Join cognitive psychologist Professor Kim Kyung-il to explore how to break free from addiction, the reasons why people fail despite their efforts to eliminate bad habits, and solutions. #Addiction #PeopleVulnerableToAddiction #CognitivePsychology #KimKyungil #GoodHabits #BadHabits #Dopamine #BrainScience #PsychologyLecture ▶️ Program: My Second Class, Lecture 5 - Can Bad Habits Be Overhauled? ▶️ Broadcast Date: March 9, 2026
