Rugalmatlansága

Rugalmatlansága is a concept primarily discussed in Hungarian philosophical and psychological discourse, referring to a general inability or resistance to adapt or be flexible. It can describe a personality trait, a societal attitude, or a systemic characteristic. In individuals, rugalmatlansága might manifest as stubbornness, an unwillingness to change one's opinions or behaviors, or a difficulty in coping with unforeseen circumstances. This inflexibility can stem from deep-seated beliefs, a fear of the unknown, or a rigid worldview.

On a broader societal level, rugalmatlansága can be observed in institutions, traditions, or cultural norms that resist change, even when faced with evidence suggesting that adaptation is necessary. This can lead to stagnation, inefficiency, and an inability to progress. The term implies a lack of resilience and an aversion to compromise or new perspectives. It is often contrasted with adaptability, openness to experience, and the capacity for personal or collective growth. While not always negative, as some degree of stability is often beneficial, excessive rugalmatlansága is generally viewed as a detrimental force, hindering progress and individual well-being.
