Showing results for "Emotion" in Science & Engineering

The science of emotion is in the midst of a revolution on par with the discovery of relativity in physics and natural selection in biology. Leading the charge is psychologist and neuroscientist Lisa Feldman Barrett, whose research overturns the long-standing belief that emotions are automatic, universal, and hardwired in different brain regions. Instead, Barrett shows, we construct each instance of emotion through a unique interplay of brain, body, and culture.

New hope for those suffering from conditions like depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, addictions, PTSD, ADHD, and more. Though incidence of these conditions is skyrocketing, for the past four decades standard treatment hasn’t much changed, and success rates in treating them have barely improved, either. Meanwhile, the stigma of the “mental illness” label - damaging and devastating on its own - can often prevent sufferers from getting the help they need. Brain specialist and best-selling author Dr. Daniel Amen aims to change all that.

From bargains in the Big Apple to the bustling bazaars of Istanbul, from in-store to interactive and online to mobile, neuromarketing pioneer Dr. David Lewis goes behind the scenes of the "persuasion industry" to reveal the powerful tools, techniques, technologies, and psychologies seeking to stimulate us all to buy more - often without us consciously realizing it.

A pathbreaking neuroscientist reveals how our social instincts turn Me into Us, but turn Us against Them - and what we can do about it. The great dilemma of our shrinking world is simple: never before have those we disagree with been so present in our lives. The more globalization dissolves national borders, the more clearly we see that human beings are deeply divided on moral lines - about everything from tax codes to sexual practices to energy consumption - and that, when we really disagree, our emotions turn positively tribal.

In Your Dog Is Your Mirror, dog trainer Kevin Behan proposes a radical new model for understanding canine behavior: a dog’s behavior and emotion, indeed its very cognition, are driven by our emotion. The dog doesn’t respond to its owner based on what the owner thinks, says, or does; it responds to what the owner feels. And in this way, dogs can actually put people back in touch with their own emotions.

We avoid boredom at all costs. It makes us feel restless and agitated. Desperate for something to do, we play games on our phones, retie our shoes, or even count ceiling tiles. And if we escape it this time, eventually it will strike again. But what if we listened to boredom instead of banishing it? Psychologists James Danckert and John Eastwood contend that boredom isn't bad for us. It's just that we do a bad job of heeding its guidance.

The provided texts introduce Petre Rădescu's theoretical framework of human emotions, heavily influenced by the Viennese school of existential psychotherapy, particularly Alfried Längle's assertion that "Where a value, there a feeling/an emotion!" Rădescu distinguishes between "affects," which are basic, reactive emotions tied to immediate interactions with values, and more mature, choice-driven "sentiments." He presents "The Bridge of Maturity"—comprising courage, humbleness, forgiveness, and dedication—as pivotal for personal growth, leading to "sentiments" like confidence, ...

Kopf oder Bauch, auf wen hören Sie eher? Wie können wir in einer Zeit voller Fake News und Verunsicherung wissen, worauf wir uns verlassen können? Wann darf man intuitiv entscheiden, und wie können wir sicher sein, dass wir nicht gefährlichen Irrlehren Glauben schenken? Leichtfüßig und humorvoll beschreibt Florian Aigner, was wissenschaftliches Denken bedeutet und was Fakt von Fakes unterscheidet. In anschaulichen wie erstaunlichen Geschichten unternimmt er eine Reise von der Mathematik über die Physik bis zur Philosophie und zeigt: Gerade weil sich Wissenschaft ständig verändert, können wir uns auf sie verlassen.

Durante muito tempo acreditamos que o pensamento racional era a influência dominante em nossos comportamentos. As emoções, por sua vez, seriam prejudiciais nas tomadas de decisão. Agora, graças ao enorme progresso das pesquisas em neurociência e psicologia, sabemos que a emoção é tão importante quanto a razão para orientar nossas escolhas e atitudes.
