state of mind

Read a random definition: trader's settlement

A quick definition of state of mind:

State of mind refers to the condition or capacity of a person's thoughts and feelings. It can also refer to the reasons or motives behind a person's actions, especially if they have committed a crime.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: State of mind refers to the condition or capacity of a person's mind, including their thoughts, emotions, and attitudes. It can also refer to a person's reasons or motives for committing an act, especially a criminal act.

Examples:

  • After the car accident, the driver was in a state of shock and couldn't remember what happened.
  • The defendant's state of mind at the time of the crime was a key factor in the trial.
  • She committed the crime out of a state of anger and frustration.

The first example illustrates the first part of the definition, as the driver's state of mind refers to their mental and emotional state after the accident. The second example illustrates the second part of the definition, as the defendant's state of mind is relevant to their intent and culpability in the crime. The third example also illustrates the second part of the definition, as the person's state of mind (anger and frustration) is a motive for their criminal act.
