Impact of Psychology

 In psychology, it requires rational, skeptical, and unbiased analysis of theories, methods, concepts, etc, to improve judgmental coherence. 

Psychology, as a soft science, directly impacts the speed of progress in human society. Positive psychology puts emphasis on strengths; it focuses on human strengths, virtues, and what makes life fulfilling. Negative Psychology puts emphasis on shortcomings; it concentrates on human deficiencies, challenges, and adverse experiences. 

Emotions as an expression of psychology play a critical role in value perception, influencing judgments and decisions. Emotions are feelings that change people and affect their judgments, accompanied by different mentalities.

Structures of Emotion: Emotions have structures, meaning they are not simply amorphous feelings without order, logic, or rationality. These structures are integrated and can be considered under these categories:

Physical Structures: These include neurology, overt behavior, and physiology.

-Experiential Structures: This refers to how an emotion is experienced by the subject. It includes intentionality and what the emotion is about, structured by beliefs and evaluative judgments.

-Social Structures: These involve cultural causes and circumstances, the social meaning and function of emotional expressions, the social effects of emotional behavior, the political causes and effects of emotional behavior, and the ethical considerations that determine the nature and appropriateness of emotions.

Impact on Cognitive Processes: Emotions influence cognitive processes such as attention, memory formation, and decision-making.. Studies have indicated that amygdala activity can reflect the emotional significance and location of visual stimuli and modulate memory formation related to emotional events.

Rationality and Functionality: Emotions can be rational or irrational based on the accuracy of the perception or understanding of a situation and the evaluation of that situation. Emotions can also be functional, playing an important role in personal and social lives. They can motivate moral behavior and are essential to creativity and scientific curiosity.

Emotional Intelligence: Emotional intelligence includes the ability to perceive emotions in oneself and others, use emotions in thought and action, understand emotions, and manage or control emotions. It involves self-awareness, self-control, self-motivation, empathy, and social skills.

In psychology, it requires rational, skeptical, and unbiased analysis of theories, methods, concepts, etc to improve judgmental coherence.  At the organizational level, business workforce optimization from a psychological lens helps to gain predictive insight of talent demand, develop in-demand skills and capabilities, navigate through the future of the workplace, measure workforce capacity, and reach the next level of organizational maturity and societal progress.
