Degr is an acronym that stands for 'degradation', or the process of gradual decay or deterioration. It is an important concept in psychology, particularly in the study of personality and development. Degradation can be physical, mental, emotional, or social in nature. Examples of physical degradation would be physical decline such as aging or disease, while mental, emotional, or social degradation may include feelings of insecurity, depression, and a lack of confidence.

Degradation can also take on a more contextual form when it's related to behaviors.
