Four dimensions of emotional health in psychology

The American psychologist Izzard proposed a four-dimensional theory of emotions. It is believed that emotions have four dimensions: happiness, tension, excitement, and confidence.

The biological dimension, the psychological dimension, the spiritual dimension.

The ideal state of mental health is to maintain a state of intact character, normal intelligence, correct cognition, appropriate emotion, reasonable will, positive attitude, appropriate behavior, and good adaptation.

Influenced by both genetics and environment, especially the parenting style of the original family in early childhood, has a great impact on the development of mental health. Mental health is characterized by being able to maintain good communication or cooperation with other people in social, production and life, and to be able to deal with various situations in life well.

There are three dimensions of emotion: pleasant-unpleasant, attention-rejection, and activation level. Emotional experiences can vary in intensity from weak to strong. For example, joy can range from suitability and pleasure to joy, joy and ecstasy; Mourning can be sad from sadness, sadness, grief, and misery; Anger can range from mild dissatisfaction, anger, anger, and anger to anger and rage; Fear can range from fear, fear, panic to horror.

The greater the intensity of the emotion, the deeper the whole self is involved in the emotion.

The intensity of the emotional experience depends first and foremost on the meaning that the object has to the person. The greater the significance, the stronger the emotions evoked. And the magnitude of this meaning is determined by the position of the object in the individual's life.

Secondly, the intensity of the emotional experience also depends on the demands placed on oneself.

People's bad evaluation of a painting may not cause strong emotions in amateur painters, but it may cause strong emotional reactions in professional painters. Finally, the intensity of the emotional experience also depends on the person's state of need. The smell of food, the intensity of the emotional experience of those who are hungry and those who do not feel hungry is different.

Four-Dimensional Theory: Izzard believes that emotions have four dimensions: pleasure, tension, excitement, and conviction. Pleasure indicates the hedonistic tones of subjective experience; Tension indicates the level of physiological activation of emotions; Agitation or impulsivity indicates the suddenness of an individual's response to an emotional situation, i.e., the degree to which an individual is unanticipated and unprepared; Confidence indicates how well an individual is competent and tolerant of feelings.

At the cognitive level, individuals can report the degree of understanding of emotions, and at the behavioral level, they can report the degree to which their actions are appropriate for the situation.

There are two most basic dimensions of emotion. One dimension is pleasant and unpleasant, which is called the valence of emotions. In the titer dimension, from positive to negative, the degree of pleasure decreases sequentially, and there is no emotional feeling at a certain point in the middle.

Emotions that are on the positive valence end and have pleasant feelings are called positive emotions (positive emotions), and emotions that are negative and unpleasant on the negative valence end are called negative emotions (negative emotions). The other dimension is arousal, there are low arousal and high arousal, it goes from weak to strong.

Extended Materials. Dimension, also known as dimensionality, is the number of independent parameters in mathematics. In the realm of physics and philosophy, it refers to the number of independent space-time coordinates. Dimension 0 is an infinitesimal point with no length.

1 dimension is an infinitely long line with only length. 2D is a plane that is made up of an area made up of length and width (or part of a curve). 3 dimensions is 2 dimensions plus height to make up the volume.

The 4 dimensions are divided into 4 dimensions in time and space, and people usually refer to the transfer of objects in time. (4 dimensions, to be exact, there are two kinds.) 1.

Four-dimensional space-time refers to three-dimensional space plus one-dimensional time. 2.Four-dimensional space refers to only four dimensions of space.

Four-dimensional motion gives rise to five-dimensional.

Broadly speaking, dimension is the number of "connected" abstract concepts of things, and "connected" abstract concepts refer to abstract concepts that are connected by multiple abstract concepts, and are related to any abstract concept that composes it, and the number of abstract concepts that make up it is the dimension of its change, such as area. This concept is based on the idea that everything is relatively related.

From a philosophical point of view, the "thinking perspective" from which people observe, think, and express something is referred to as "dimension". For example, when people observe and think about the "moon", they can describe it from the three perspectives of "content, time, and space" of the moon. It can also be described from the three perspectives of "carrier, energy, and information" of the moon.

Emotion is a general term for a series of subjective cognitive experiences, which is a person's attitude and experience of objective things and the corresponding behavioral responses.

1. Emotional resilience--- When encountering unsatisfactory things, when will your emotions calm down When encountering unsatisfactory things, how long will it take for your mood to return to calm? People who can quickly regain their composure are more resilient to setbacks.

2. The attitude of seeing the world--- when half a glass of water is brought to you, what is the first thing you think of when you see half a glass of water, do you often see half a cup full, or do you see people who see half a cup empty?

3. Social intuition--- whether you are sensitive to other people's feelings In dealing with others and connecting with people, there is a very important ability, that is, social intuition.

4. Self-awareness--- know why you are happy and why you are sadSome people are very clear about their inner feelings, and can clearly realize their thoughts, emotions, and physical feelings; Know why you're happy, why you're sad, why you're angry, why you're sad, and why you're afraid. And some people are unaware of their feelings.

Fifth, sensitivity to the environment--- know what to say and do on what occasions.

6. Attention--- ability to maintain concentration without being affected by others.
