Denialism. In the psychology of human behavior, denialism is a person's choice to deny reality, as a way to avoid a psychologically uncomfortable truth. Denialism is an essentially irrational action that withholds the validation of an historical experience or event, by the person refusing to accept an empirically verifiable reality. The motivations and causes of denialism include religion and self-interest (economic, political, financial, cultural) and defense mechanisms meant to protect the psyche of the denialist against mentally disturbing facts and ideas.
