ANALYSIS OF INTERDEPENDENCIES BETWEEN STUDENTS’ EMOTIONS, LEARNING PRODUCTIVITY, ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENTS AND PHYSIOLOGICAL PARAMETERS / STUDENTŲ EMOCIJŲ, MOKYMOSI PRODUKTYVUMO, AKADEMINIŲ PASIEKIMŲ IR FIZIOLOGINIŲ PARAMETRŲ RYŠIŲ ANALIZĖ

A sufficient amount of studies worldwide prove an interrelation linking students’ learning productivity, interest in learning, emotional and psychological state to physiological parameters. Emotional states and the interest in learning affect learning productivity, while physiological parameters demonstrate such changes. Different authors‘ research results are discussed and systematized in this article. The article analyses how positive and negative emotions affect learning productivity and which physiological parameters have to be discussed to estimate students‘ productivity. After indentifying interrelations between these above mentioned parameters, their analysis could be used to improve students‘ academic achievements.

Positive And Negative Emotions

In this article, we examine the concept of emotional inertia as a fundamental property of the emotion dynamics that characterize psychological maladjustment. Emotional inertia refers to the degree to which emotional states are resistant to change. Because psychological maladjustment has been associated with both emotional underreactivity and ineffective emotion-regulation skills, we hypothesized that its overall emotion dynamics would be characterized by high levels of inertia. We provide evidence from two naturalistic studies that, using different methods, showed that the emotional fluctuations of individuals who exhibited low self-esteem (Study 1) and depression (Study 2) were characterized by higher levels of inertia in both positive and negative emotions than the emotional fluctuations of people who did not exhibit low self-esteem and depression. We also discuss the usefulness of the concept of emotional inertia as a hallmark of maladaptive emotion dynamics.

Positive And Negative Emotions

In this study, we examined the effects of participants’ emotional states on personal space when an approaching person’s face was either masked or unmasked. We used the participants’ uncomfortable stop-distance as our method of measuring personal space. Inducing a positive emotion narrowed perceived personal space, whereas inducing a negative emotion widened personal space. For both positive and negative emotions, the perceived interpersonal distance was shorter when the approaching face was unmasked than masked. There was no interaction effect on personal space between induced affect and masking or unmasking the approaching face. This study might provide insight into interpersonal behavior during a pandemic juncture.

Positive And Negative Emotions

Consistency of lay theories of emotion across particular emotional states and the cognitive differentiation of those states was assessed. In Study 1, the Lay Theories of Emotion (LTE) questionnaires was completed with reference to four negative emotions. In Study 2, subjects answered the LTE with reference to four positive emotions. In Study 3, the LTE was filled out with reference to two negative emotions and two positive emotions. In Study 4, the LTE was filled out every day for a period of four weeks with reference to a person's current mood. Results indicated that subjects' scores in the LTE factors were found to be consistent across various positive and negative emotions. The findings also indicated that an emotion-specific component contributed to the explanation of intraindividual variance in the appraisal of different emotions. Specifically, individual differences in the appraisal process remained fairly stable over a variety of emotions and moods and the LTE factors were found to significantly discriminate among the various emotions assessed.

Positive And Negative Emotions

The paper discusses the nature of negative (hostile) emotions and their role in the cultural, i.e. the ethical world of life. A distinction is made between positive and negative emotions on the basis of their orientation towards the outside world and towards the bearer of emotional states. It is claimed that the bearer of negative emotions, unlike positive ones, becomes, in fact, their hostage over time, and that he is intentionally turned towards himself as an object instead of towards other people. I also claimed that this kind of intentionality is ?empty?, because the object of intention exists only in the memory of the subject of intention. In the end, I presented arguments in favor of the existence of collective hostile emotions that can have a positive meaning in a certain social context, which is characterized by obvious social inequality and injustice.

Positive And Negative Emotions

The paper discusses the peculiarities of syntactic constructions presenting positive emotions in the speech of characters in dramas by modern American and British playwrights. The proposed research method suggests application of a correlative classification of extralinguistic and linguistic features including paradigmatic systems of emotional states and structural forms as an instrument for qualitative and quantitative analysis. Positive emotions are classified according to the criterion of their impact on speech-thought processes. A hierarchical paradigmatic classification of structural deformations of the emotionally neutral invariant including transformations, modifications and primary syntactic features is introduced. The prognostic potential of primary syntactic features in respect of the three types of emotional states is explored. It is shown that more than a half of primary features when used in isolation belong to the first (absolute) or the second level of dominancy according to the algorithmic identification of the emotional state type and that the character of positive emotions’ effect on the speech-thought process (beneficial, boundary or destructive) correlates with the choice of syntactic structures. Differences in the number and types of syntactic constructions realized under the influence of positive and negative emotions are described. The role of qualitative and quantitative discrepancy in syntactic specificities with positive and negative emotions for further researches concerning identification issues purposes is shown.

Formal Social Support

This study aimed to examine the role that informal and formal social support play with psychological well-being as reflected in positive and negative emotions of injured terror survivors in Israel. A total of 150 survivors who were eligible for social support and assistance by government agencies completed questionnaires that examined positive and negative emotions, informal social support, and formal social support from public government agencies provided by professional trained social workers. A hierarchal regression demonstrated that informal social support is associated with improved psychological state. However, formal social support, although provided by professional agencies, failed to demonstrate such an association. Theoretical, clinical, and policy implications of the findings are discussed.
