＂confinement challenge＂ winning bonus activity is controversial

　　Recently, a number of companies have held a "confinement challenge" on the network platform. The challenger has to live alone for 30 days in a room without any electronic equipment, any time prompts and zero contact with the outside world. If the challenge is successful, you can get bonuses ranging from 50 thousand to 100 thousand. For this kind of extreme challenge, psychologists believe that the challenge of confinement for 30 days belongs to an abnormal type of challenge. It is not realistic for ordinary people to try to challenge for 30 days in a row, and it will even have a bad influence on the physical and mental health of the challenger or his future life.

　　"confinement" for 30 days

　　Challenge success can win prizes.

　　A company named "Xi ‘an Hesuyun Information Technology Co., Ltd." began to plan the "confinement challenge" activity at the end of September this year. At present, the challenge information released by the company has been circulated on the Internet, which has also caused controversy.

　　"In fact, this confinement challenge is also used as a commercial promotion." Li Haoxun, the legal representative of the company, told the Beijing Youth Daily that the confinement challenge activity stipulated that there were no electronic products, no time information and no contact with the outside world. The challenger could get a bonus of 50,000 yuan if he lived in an office building with no windows, a bathroom to wash and no bath for 30 days. After the challenger participated, he signed an agreement to allow the whole live broadcast.

　　Li Haoxun said that this activity was filed in the relevant departments of industry and commerce, fire protection and public security in accordance with the relevant provisions of "Escape from the Chamber of Secrets".

　　According to reports, the event stipulates that the challenger can bring three personal items, including Rubik’s cube, notebook and book. The organizer will send enough water and food from time to time every day. If the challenge fails, the 200 yuan challenge fee will be charged daily.

　　Challengers themselves must be 20-35 years old, and provide health certificates of physical examination in municipal hospitals and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health certificates to avoid sudden diseases. At the same time, as required, challengers can challenge themselves at home for a week and then register again, and must pay the challenge deposit in advance.

　　Some netizens have questioned that the organizer is likely to deliberately increase the number of meals delivered every day, which leads to the challenger misjudging the number of days. Others think that the organizers collect traffic by live broadcast to make a profit or defraud the challenge deposit. Some people even reported to the police that the activity was "suspected pyramid selling dens activity".

　　Organizers

　　Please invite a psychologist to "monitor" the live broadcast.

　　The rules were adjusted for questioning the organizers. For example, the staff will avoid "sending meals three times a day from time to time" and put 90 meals of self-heating rice, self-heating noodles and other foods in advance. At the same time, the penalty for failure in the challenge has also been changed to be graded by day. For those who fail in the first 10 days, the challenger will pay the challenge fee according to the daily 200 yuan, and those who fail from the 11th day to the 18th day will be returned to 100 yuan from 2000 yuan in turn every day. On the 19th day, those who fail in the challenge will be returned to 100 yuan, which means that if they fail in the challenge that day, they only need to pay the 1000 yuan challenge fee.

　　Starting from the 20th day, if the challenge fails, the daily fee will be increased by 200 yuan in turn. On the 22nd day, 400 yuan will be added every day, and on the last two days, 300 yuan will be added every day. This means that if the challenge fails on the 29th day, you need to pay a challenge fee of 5,200 yuan. Up to now, the maximum record of the confinement challenge activity is 19 days. The deposit in advance is only to avoid some risks and avoid individuals "eating and drinking". After the challenge, the deposit will be refunded to the challenger. However, due to being reported as a "suspected pyramid scheme den activity", the organizer cooperated with relevant departments to check and stopped four challenges.

　　Li Haoxun said that some netizens questioned the "psychological safety". "We considered the psychological endurance of the challenger, so we invited a professional psychologist to the challenge." After the staff authorized the live broadcast of the challenge to the psychologist, the doctor could observe the challenger for 24 hours. If there was abnormal behavior, the doctor would also inform the staff to stop the game for the first time and evaluate it.

　　Give up the challenge until the ninth day

　　Xiaoma, who is in his early twenties, is a challenger who participated in the activity. He is an ordinary company employee. His daily job is to face the computer in the office and rarely contact people. He admits that the purpose of participating in the challenge is to "empty himself".

　　Pony said that the event site was set in a community. "I felt good a few days before I entered the room, and I felt fresh about my surroundings. The distribution law of three meals a day and the sound of neighbors practicing piano from time to time outside the window make it not difficult to calculate the time. But after a few days of sleeping, eating and sleeping, I soon became tired of the surrounding environment and my mood became more and more depressed. "

　　Pony said that he started looking for something to kill time, so he stared at the black and white striped tablecloth. He tore off the black garbage bag as a sunspot, kneaded it into a ball with a white napkin as a Bai Zi, and fought with each other for a while. Later, he used different shapes of paper balls as chess to change his mind and keep his concentration. Sleep when you are sleepy, and continue to play when you wake up. At this time, the piano sound outside the window has become particularly harsh to him. "I thought to myself, how come I always play a tune all day long, and I don’t change it."

　　Pony recalled that when he was bored, he would do simple exercises such as sit-ups to distract his attention, but his mental state was still getting worse and worse, and he became more and more irritable. On the ninth day, he gave up the challenge.

　　Forcing yourself to persist may affect your later life.

　　Gao Aihua, a psychological counselor, believes that the challenge of confinement for 30 days is an abnormal type of challenge. It is not realistic for ordinary people to try to challenge for 30 days in a row, and it may even have a negative impact on the challenger’s physical and mental health or future life.

　　She believes that through this experience, it may bring the challenger a lack of sense of security and a decrease in trust. The narrow and oppressive environment will bring a greater psychological impact to the challenger, and the limited vision will devour the fun of the challenge bit by bit, invisibly increasing emotional experiences such as anxiety, helplessness, panic and anger, causing traumatic effects.

　　Under the stimulation of this special environment, it is very likely that the challenger will suffer from claustrophobia. "Although ‘ Claustrophobia ’ It is mostly in childhood, but it may also be related to the life experience and environment of adulthood. Some potential patients are challenged by confinement without knowing it, which is likely to aggravate the condition. " Gao Aihua said that keeping the challenger in a closed environment blocked the connection between the individual and the outside world and lacked the social support system. With the passage of time, if the challenger persists in challenging, his anxiety level will rise, and when he feels more uneasy and dangerous, he will cause high mental tension and even fear of dying. However, if it is a mild symptom, it can be relieved and cured as long as it is separated from the confined space environment and properly channeled. If this bad emotional experience is not relieved and released in time, it may affect the challenger’s regular life, work ability and social activities in the future.
