People facing such stress resort to techniques for defensive avoidance,” often by what Janis calls “bolstering.” Bolstering includes such things as exaggerating favorable consequences, downplaying unfavorable consequences, denying uneasy feelings, exaggerating the remoteness of the action commitment, downplaying the extent to which others will see what is happening, and downplaying personal responsibility. (Essence of Decision, pp.283-284)
Does the remoteness of the action commitment mean "unlikeliness of action promise" in the sentence?
Thank you very much.
