This article is dedicated to investigation of the verbs used in the syntactic constructions describing the influence that a person has on emotions he experiences. These constructions show that the subject of emotion tends to experience some emotion that is usually positive o he is already experiencing it but tries to control this emotion o feeling and influences over it in order to continue to experience it in  future in case of positive emotions or, on the contrary, stop experiencing it in case of negative emotions. The main components of these structures are a predicate name of emotions, which designates positive and negative emotions and a verb the semantic meaning of which conveys the way the subject of emotion influences this emotion o feeling in order to begin to experience it or to extend its existence, or that it has ceased to exist in this subject. The aim of this study is to analyze the semantic features of verbs, which are used with the predicate names of emotions in the above semantic constructions and to reveal the character of expression of emotions and emotional life of a person.Spanish has a large number of verbs used in syntactic constructions to express the idea of control that a person exercises over his emotions and feelings. The analyzed constructions show that the subject of emotions plays an active role, and emotions are passive because they depend on the will of the subject. The analyzed constructions demonstrate the richness of linguistic means, in general, and of verbs used metaphorically, in particular, which a person uses to describe the possibilities of controlling his emotional state and the processes of his emotional and spiritual life.

حاولت الدراسة، استكناه حقيقة مصطلح (objective correlative) المعادل الموضوعي، ورصد ترجماته المختلفة إلى اللغة العربية، حسب تسلسلها الزمني، وتتبع الاختلافات والائتلافات في هذه الترجمات، وتعليل أسباب هذا وذلك، وبيان إشكالات الترجمة في فهم معنى المصطلح ودلالاته. ومن ثم شرعت الدراسة في كشف طبيعة هذا المصطلح، ومفهومه ومكوناته الأساسية، وجوهره القائم على إيجاد معادلات موضوعية حسية لمكنونات عالم الشاعر الداخلي المجرد، ومحاولة تجسيد هذا العالم المجرد عبر صور وأشكال فنية حسية قابلة للمعاينة، وفي الآن نفسه قادرة على إثارة حالة شعورية في المتلقي تشبه إلى حدٍ كبيرٍ تلك الحالة التي يعانيها الشاعر نفسه. وقد اتكأت الدراسة على معطيات المنهج التكاملي، واستعانت بكثير من وسائله، وآلياته في الوصف والتحليل في مقاربتها لموضوع الدراسة، استجابةً لطبيعة الموضوع نفسه الذي تمتدّ أوصاله وشرايينه في سراديب مسائل عدة؛ فمنها ما يتصل بلغة (المصدر) اللغة الأجنبية، وإشكالات الترجمة. ومنها ما يتصل بلغة (الهدف) اللغة العربية، وقضايا الترادف والمشترك اللفظي، وقضية الاختيار. ومنها ما يتصل في الجانب التطبيقي لبعض النصوص الذي تضمنتها الدراسة، وما يستدعيه النص الشعري من نظرة تكاملية شمولية. وخلصت الدراسة إلى نتائج عدّة منها: أن مفهوم هذا المصطلح يتبأّر حول إيجاد معادلات حسية خارجية لحالات الشعور الداخلية للشاعر، وأن الممارسات العملية المختلفة لمعطيات المعادل الموضوعي، تتمحور حول استقطاب أدوات فنية وأسلوبية قادرة على التعبير والتشكيل والتصوير في آنٍ واحدٍ، وما إلى ذلك من استعمالات اللغة، استعمالًا خاصًا قادرًا على تجسيد المجرد الداخلي للشاعر، عبر صور حسّية تبوح بعواطف الشاعر وأفكاره، وترسم لها صورةً مشابهةً في وعي القارئ. This study tries to find out what is meant by the expression "objective correlative" and to follow its different translations into Arabic according to its chronology. It also tries to show similarities and differences in those translations by giving reasons for each of them، and the obstacles that face readers to understand the meaning and semantics of the expression. Then، the study proceeds to discover the nature، the conception، and the main components of this expression، and its main aim to find out objective and sensitive correlative for the hidden feelings of the poet’s world through art and sensory images and forms that are reviewable and which are able to stimulate an emotional state for the receiver which is similar to that of the poet himself. The study depends on the data taken from the integrated approach and borrows many of its means and procedures to describe and analyze the data in this study in response to the nature of the subject whose components stretch to contain matters. Some relate to the source language (English) and obstacles in translation، others relate to the target language (Arabic) and the issues of tandem، verb al joint،echoic and its effect on translating the expression. Some relate to the practical aspects of some texts which were included in the study and the integrated and comprehensive view needed for poetry. This study comes to some conclusions، such as: The expression "objective correlative" focuses on the external sensitive correlative of the inner feeling of the poet. The different practical experiences are polarizing on constructive and stylistic forms that are able to express forms، and give images at the same time. The uses of language for certain propose are able to represent the inner abstract feeling of the poet through sensitive images that reveal the poet’s feelings and thoughts and to draw a similar image in the reader's awareness.

Abstract The purpose of this review was to come closer to answering the question why insight gained in psychotherapy does not necessarily lead to a change in patient’s behaviour. The review of literature on the subject of insight allowed us to distinguish two types of insight: “more intellectual than emotional” (I-e) and “more emotional than intellectual” (E-i). In addition, we differentiated E-i insight with a component of negative emotions (aversive) and with a component of positive emotions (corrective). We assumed that each type of insight would motivate the patient to change their behaviour in a different way. The I-e insight makes it easier for the patient to achieve concrete adaptive goals, the E-i aversive insight discourages them from attaining maladaptive goals, while the E-i corrective insight encourages them to form and follow adaptive goals. We also analysed the influence on behaviour change of some other factors, co-occurring with insight: the therapeutic relationship, the actions of the patient and his narrative motivation. Insight does not always lead to a change in behaviour because: 1) the type of the insight does not match the type of patient’s motivation; 2) insight occurs in the context of a weak therapeutic relationship or is not reinforced by the patient’s actions; 3) insight is not a key factor of change, but rather its effect or indicator.

The proposed research is carried out in the mainstream of emotive linguistics which is an actual line of scientific research today. To denote emotional experiences the language has a variety of means – lexical, phonetic, grammatical. The article analyzes phraseological units with the semantics of emotions in the Belarusian language recorded in the two-volume dictionary "Dictionary of phraseological units" by І. Ya. Lepeshau (2008). These phraseological units are united in one phraseological semantic field within which one can distinguish several semantic groups: 1) the semantic group "emotional state"; 2) the semantic group "emotional relationship"; 3) the semantic group "external manifestation of emotions;" 4) the semantic group "emotional peace". Each group has its own integral semantic feature. The number of phraseological units is dominated by the first group. Separately a group of causative phraseological units was singled out and considered, the integral semantic sign for which is the combination of the 'emotion' seme with the 'impact' seme. These phraseological units refer to the emotional state of an object caused by the actions of a subject. It was noted that in all the examined semantic groups the designation of negative emotions (fear, anxiety, excitement, despair, anger, hatred, sadness, shame, melancholy) is dominant, the designation of positive emotions is much less common (joy, happiness, sympathy, love). Many phraseological units have close semantics so they can form synonymic series. Anthony is less common. There were recorded cases of enantiosemia – the presence of opposing meanings within one phraseological unit. The phraseological material indicates that metaphor is the main way of forming figurativness.

The is presented the development of method for evaluation of emotional state of man, what suitable for use at the workplace based on analysis of heart rate (HR) variability.28 healthy volunteers were examined. 3 audiovisual clips were consistently presented on the display of the personal computer for each of them. One clip contained information originating the positive emotions, the second one – negative emotions, the third one – neutral. All possible pairs of the emotional states were analysed with help of one- and multi-dimensional linear discriminant analysis based on HR variability.Showing the emotional video-clips (of both signs) causes reliable slowing of HR frequency and also some decreasing of HR variability. In addition, negative emotions cause regularizing and simplification of structural organization of heart rhythm. Accuracy of discrimination for pair “emotional – neutral” video clips was 98 %, for pair “rest – neutral” was 74 %, for pair “positive – negative” was 91 %.Analysis of HR variability enables to determine the emotional state of observed person at the workplace with high reliability.

Actualmente está científicamente probado que las emociones desempeñan un papel decisivo en la formación de la memoria. Por esta razón, en educación, el docente es pieza fundamental para incluir este aspecto en la enseñanza, planificando y creando acontecimientos didácticos emocionalmente positivos en el aula. En consonancia con ello, el objetivo de este estudio fue analizar las emociones predominantes en los estudiantes de Química Analítica de la Escuela de Bioanálisis de la Universidad del Zulia luego de aplicar un programa de estrategias neurodidácticas basadas en la memoria de largo plazo. La investigación fue descriptiva, no experimental, transeccional, de campo, conformada por una población de 197 estudiantes correspondientes a los períodos académicos U-2015 y I-2016, bajo un muestreo por conveniencia. Para el procesamiento de los datos se emplearon técnicas descriptivas y prueba t de Student para muestras independientes a través del programa SPSS®. Los resultados revelaron predominio de emociones positivas de inspiración, agradecimiento y amor en ambos grupos experimentales; seguidos de alegría, orgullo, esperanza y diversión (también alto). Por otro lado, la emoción negativa más ponderada en ambas poblaciones fue la vergüenza (nivel bajo), seguido de enojo (U-2015), ansiedad y miedo (I-2016). El resto de las emociones negativas se presentaron a nivel muy bajo. Finalmente, al comparar los estados emocionales de los estudiantes en ambos períodos se obtuvo que el estado emocional positivo predominó sobre el estado emocional negativo (p<0.05), señalando así, que la metodología aplicada bajo el enfoque de las neurociencias influyó eficaz y satisfactoriamente en las emociones de los estudiantes. PALABRAS CLAVE: neuroeducación; emociones; emociones positivas; emociones negativas; memoria. Emotions in aulas with Neuroeducation: diagnostic in the university context ABSTRACT It is currently scientifically proven that emotions play a decisive role in memory formation. For this reason, in education, the teacher is fundamental to include this aspect in teaching, planning and creating emotionally positive didactic events in the classroom. In line with this, the objective of this study was to analyze the prevailing emotions in the students of Analytical Chemistry of the School of Bioanalysis of the University of Zulia after implementing a program of neurodidactic strategies based on the long-term memory. The research was descriptive, non-experimental, transactional, field, consisting of a population of 197 students corresponding to the academic periods U-2015 and I-2016, under a sampling for convenience. For the processing of the data, descriptive techniques and student t-test were used for independent samples through the SPSS® program. The results revealed predominance of positive emotions of inspiration, gratitude, and love in both experimental groups; followed by joy, pride, hope and fun (also high). On the other hand, the most weighted negative emotion in both populations (low level) was shame. Then anger (U-2015), anxiety and fear (I-2016), also low. All other negative emotions were presented at an exceptionally low level. Finally, comparing the emotional states of the students in both periods it was obtained that the positive emotional state dominated the negative emotional state (p<0.05), thus noting, that the methodology applied under the approach of neurosciences effectively and satisfactorily influenced students' emotions. KEYWORDS: neuroeducation; emotions; positive emotions; negative emotions; memory.

This study examined the effects of a 20-week intervention to foster affective involvement during interaction and communication between an adult with congenital deafblindness (CDB) and his caregivers in a group home and a daytime activities center. Using a single-subject design, we examined whether the intervention increased affective involvement between the participant and his caregivers, and whether the participant’s positive emotions increased and his negative emotions decreased. In both settings, an increase in affective involvement and very positive emotions coincided with the onset of the intervention, with the clearest effects in the daytime activities center. Negative emotions decreased in the daytime activities center. During follow-up, affective involvement decreased in both settings but remained above baseline. The caregivers indicated that it was easier to share positive emotions than negative emotions. This study demonstrates that it is possible to foster affective involvement with an adult with CDB, both during interaction and communication.

A passage of the Bṛhadāraṇyaka Upaniṣad asserts that the cause of actions is the will, which has desire as its origin, and that the removal of desire is a sine qua non for entrance into eternal bliss. Following the main line of this idea, Buddha has made two important discoveries. The first is the discovery of the subconscious entity called papañca, a subjacent but influential concomitant of all kinds of human mental phenomena and, at the same time, the cause of all of our miseries. The second discovery is the fact that, to eliminate the papañca, it is necessary to practice the solitary and meditative life of a mendicant without any possession. Our consciousness cannot be changed, at least as far its foundations are concerned, by rational inference but only through such actions as solitary life with introspection into the nature of our consciousness. His claim that only such a solitary meditative mendicant could give people good advice on life would be most suggestive. Good advice (i.e. the most precious gift) could only be given by a person of profound wisdom as well as of total altruism, who realizes himself as such a personality through introspection into the nature of consciousness and a solitary life of no possession. These two processes should be the main components of forming the wise and altruistic person. Buddha’s instruction was addressed neither to the general public nor to monks living in a community (saṅgha, which did not seem to exist at his time) but to his small number of disciples. His scheme for forming in a society a small number of generalists of noble character should be the subject of more serious examination for the human and social sciences of today. In addition, the proposal of Buddha to carry on praxis for the change of cognitive foundation may suggest that the objectivist stance of scientists puts them in fetters, preventing them from engaging themselves in praxis to ensure the objectivity of observation, and restricting them to their sphere of cognition.

The article considers the relation and mutual influence of negative emotions and culture. It provides arguments for the distinction between negative and positive emotions. The main claim is that what distinguishes negative emotions is that their intentionality is directed towards the subject themselves, by which the subject becomes the emotion?s hostage. Although intuitively wrongheaded, the article claims that negative emotions can have a positive impact in social life and serve the advancement of human values and struggles against injustice. Valuing negative emotions refers to correspondence with relevant social norms, that is to say, how can we judge social events in the framework of ethical, moral, or social values.

The fading affect bias (FAB) is a phenomenon of autobiographical memory whereby negative emotions associated with event memories fade in intensity over time more than positive emotions. Social disclosure enhances the FAB and listener responsiveness during social disclosure is an important facet; however, little is known about the nature of listener verbal responses that facilitate an enhanced FAB. In this study, we used discourse analysis to explore listener verbal responses and conversational patterns associated with an enhanced FAB after social disclosure—backchanneling, in which the listener shows they are paying attention to the story underway; displays of understanding whereby the listener shows awareness of the speaker’s emotional state; and positive facilitation, characterized by mutual development of positive interpretations of both pleasant and unpleasant experiences. We suggest that such listener responses are similar to those described in the verbal person-centered framework, and the emotional benefits of social disclosure are in part collaboratively created by conversationalists.
