For a long time, psychologists and psychiatrists have been accustomed to studying the population according to personality patterns and an intelligence style, a person can be outgoing, introverted, sociable, neurotic, have a logical-mathematical or musical intelligence, etc. Don’t they govern our behavior most of the day?Aren’t they what makes us love, hate, fear or desire?
Professor Richard J. Davidson of the University of Wisconsin suggested the need for a new parameter: the emotional profile.
Want to know which profile you identify with the most?
Day after day we face constant adversity and challenges, in this case resistance would be our personal ability to recover from a difficult event, a stressful situation, a loss, a disappointment or a simple discussion with a partner or a friend. Can we recover quickly, after we find out what happened, or can we?What’s happened for a long time.
How do you usually cope with reality?Well, it’s true that mood can vary daily, but each person has their own style, a clue that shows optimism or negativism in a normal way. Davidson doesn’t seem to be making common ground here.
It is empathy, the ability to read and warn others about these signs that speak so much of the people around us. Are you worried? Nonverbal language offers many clues that many people go unnoticed, but for others, however, they are easy to identify and understand. Are you socially intuitive?
We mean here the ability to perceive and understand our own emotions and feelings You know what irritates you?Your stress, your disappointments? Sometimes people feel bad not knowing why. We are calm and this discomfort eventually manifests itself, as if it were a disease. Here, Professor Davidson tells us that we may be “embarrassed or opaque. “
How do we respond to certain contexts? There are those who change their behavior depending on who they interact with or where they are located; others, in turn, are usually the same in any kind of environment and in front of all kinds of people. There are circumstances in which we are most sensitive in certain contexts, but there are usually many differences from person to person. Do you always behave the same way or constantly change the way you act?
We’re talking about our ability to eliminate emotional distractions and stay focused on a specific task. Are you able to do that? On some occasions, we are overwhelmed by problems and concerns, unable to fulfill our obligations with our obligations with our heads elsewhere.
However, there are other people who manage to maintain control, setting aside this avalanche of emotions to focus on a task.
According to Professor Richard J. Davidson, we are all located at one of the poles of these categories, drawing a unique and characteristic emotional profile, which can serve to delve into the neural and emotional substrate of our brain, skills that can be trained. to also improve our quality of life, to be more emotionally effective, to be more empathetic and responsive and to better manage our reality.
It may be that more than one person does not identify himself, or that he does not see well-being at any of the poles, but certainly, during a bookshelf, did that make us think and value certain aspects of ourselves?
