If people want to do things well, they must have a good emotional state. It is precisely because of this that people pay more and more attention to emotional management in a highly tense social environment.
Life is a boat, and emotion is a sail. The ultimate direction of a ship in life is not determined by emotions, but in a very short time, the size of the sail, whether it is good or bad, and whether it is hung high or low will affect the speed and direction of the ship. If it is not good, the boat of life will turn over.
What exactly is emotion? Psychologists say that emotions refer to people's psychological experiences such as joy, anger, sadness, joy and fear, and are a reflection of people's attitude towards objective things. Of course, this reaction is very direct and emotional, and usually does not need careful consideration. For example, you will be happy when you see a lovely beauty, eat delicious food and get what you dream of; However, when you see ugly people eating bad food and making you do things that you are not interested in, you will feel rejected and disgusted.
Emotion can be said to be a kind of energy, which can make you do good things well and screw up bad things, because positive emotions can stimulate your potential and show your high IQ and efficiency, while negative emotions are the opposite.
People's emotions must be managed effectively, and you must be a person with high emotional intelligence. The elements of EQ include your world outlook, values, personality, patience, confidence, perseverance, mood and emotion, etc. There are many child prodigies who do well in school, but in the end they don't have much promise. Why? Emotional intelligence is not high. Some are self-centered, willful, withdrawn, unsociable and do not know how to cooperate; Some feel inferior and fragile, unable to face setbacks; Some are impatient, stubborn, conceited and emotionally unstable, and it is difficult to communicate with people around them.
How do people's emotions happen? How does it influence or even dominate people's behavior? How should people adjust and control their emotions? These questions have puzzled mankind for thousands of years, and human philosophers and thinkers have been looking for answers.
I especially like a sentence in the twelfth chapter of Laozi's Tao Te Ching: "Five colors make people blind, five tones make people deaf, five flavors make people cool, gallop in the wild makes people crazy, and exotic goods can live in harm." This is a saint's stomach, so I want this. "Although this statement is not discussing psychological problems, it is criticizing human nature, but it also clearly points out the influence of external stimuli on psychology.
/kloc-william james, an American psychologist, and Carl Langer, a Danish physiologist, put forward the theory of physiological mechanism, that is, stimulation causes physiological response, which causes emotion, and physiological response is the direct cause of emotion. Later, American physiologist Cannon further pointed out that emotional experience and physiological changes occur at the same time, and they are both controlled by the thalamus of the central nervous system.
In 1950s, Arnold, an American psychologist, suggested that the cognitive evaluation of the external environment was the direct cause of emotion. On this basis, schacht, an American psychologist, put forward the three-factor theory (also known as cognitive activation theory) in 1960s, which holds that emotion is restricted by three factors: environmental influence, physiological activation and cognitive process, among which cognitive factor plays a key role.
Wilhelm Wundt (1832- 1920) is a German physiologist, psychologist and philosopher. 1879, he presided over the establishment of the world's first laboratory specializing in psychological research, and established a new experimental psychology system through experiments, marking the formal birth of psychology and being recognized as the father of experimental psychology. When I first read The History of Western Psychology, I was full of admiration for Feng Te's research methods and theories.
Feng Te opposed metaphysical speculation in psychological research and emphasized that psychology should introduce scientific research methods. This is related to his major in medicine and physiology during his college years. His first paper was about sodium chloride in urine, which was the result of his experiments with his own body. In order to study the influence of salt on the body, he controlled the intake of salt for several days until the body developed metabolic disorder.
Feng Te is also known as the founder of the first constructivism psychology school in the history of psychology. Constructivism psychology was formally founded in 1898 by Qin Tiena, a famous psychologist and a student of Feng Te. He believes that psychology should study people's direct experience, which is consciousness. Consciousness is divided into three elements: feeling, intention and passion. Feeling is the element of perception, image is the element of concept, and passion is the element of emotion. All complex psychological phenomena are composed of these elements.
The theory of three dimensions of emotion put forward by Feng Te in 1896 had a great influence on the later emotional research. In his view, emotions can't be described only by pleasure-unhappiness, but need to be described more accurately from three dimensions, namely pleasure-unhappiness, excitement-calmness and tension-relaxation, and each specific emotion is distributed in different positions between the poles of the three dimensions.
Feng Te's three-dimensional theory of emotions not only helps us to understand emotions deeply, but also can be used to think and express other topics. For example:
Three dimensions of teaching objectives: knowledge and ability, process and method, emotional attitude and values.
Teachers' professional standards have three dimensions: professional concept and morality, professional knowledge and professional ability.
Three dimensions of an ideal job: hobbies (things that excite you), skills, abilities (natural advantages) and personality (how do you like to cooperate with others).
Three dimensions of management information system analysis: organization, management and technology.
Looking at the report of XX meeting from "three dimensions": high self-confidence, extensive innovation and profound sobriety.
Three dimensions of translatology: objective world, social world and psychological world.
