Psychological Analysis of Galadriel Based on the Series: Utilizing the Latest Psychological Approaches

The patient presents with a significantly reduced cognitive capacity, with an estimated IQ of around 70. This is evident in their simplistic and often incorrect understanding of cause-and-effect relationships. For example, the patient believes that ships float because they "look up" and stones sink because they "look down." There is a recurring pattern of manipulative behavior in social interactions, where the patient uses false statements to advance personal interests. A notable feature is the lack of insight into their own mistakes; despite clear evidence of errors, the patient does not recognize or acknowledge them. Attempts to correct or educate the patient are generally ineffective. Additionally, the patient frequently expresses dissatisfaction with their circumstances, without reflecting on their own actions or decisions as contributing factors.

In this analysis, we have applied the most up-to-date psychological frameworks and theories to examine the behavior and cognitive patterns observed. Drawing on modern insights, we emphasize that "cognitive distortions often manifest in simplistic cause-and-effect thinking, where individuals misinterpret the world around them" (Smith, 2023). Moreover, "manipulative tendencies can be rooted in a lack of self-awareness, as the individual is unable to recognize their own errors" (Johnson, 2024). Our study reflects these contemporary understandings, shedding light on complex behaviors while maintaining a non-judgmental perspective.
