تعریف انگلیسی

The theory of cognitive emotion was first presented at the seventeenth conference of the World Council for Gifted and Talented Children and then developed in other international forums. Human life has always been associated with problems, and life means problem-solving. It is the existence of problems that gives meaning and identity to an individual's life, and confronting these issues is accompanied by emotional reactions, whether pleasant or unpleasant. Decision-making requires us to be attuned to these emotions.

The presence of emotions, like the presence of problems, is one of the everyday realities of human life. Wherever there is a problem, there are also emotional reactions. A problem is something that triggers emotions in an individual.

Human thoughts are among the most important sources of emotion, which the theory of cognitive emotion addresses. Human beings are never separate or detached from emotions and thoughts; rather, they always live with thoughts and the emotions arising from them.

The theory of cognitive emotion originated from the realm of creativity and focuses on the unified nature of emotional and cognitive domains of creativity. It views the process of creativity as stemming from the existence of intertwined cognitive and emotional transformations. However, it actually emphasizes the interactive unity of emotional, cognitive, and behavioral domains of the psychological system.

This theory is not merely a cognitive perspective or merely an emotional approach but rather a general theory in psychology.

By highlighting the structured interactive relationships between psychological dimensions, it is credited with providing a new perspective in explaining phenomena and predicting psychological events.

The broadest application of this theory lies in explaining the creative process, decision-making, problem-solving, and emotional-cognitive deficiencies.

Wherever there is a thought, alongside it, a particular emotion can be found, which are inseparable. This feeling quickly brings accompanying thoughts: a unity of thought and feeling.

When a feeling arises, inevitably, it manifests into emotion, and this is what we call cognitive emotion. However, not every thought necessarily leads to emotion.

The contribution of each of these two emotions to creativity depends on individual differences (intelligence, age, gender, and cultural factors).

The eight foundational components of cognitive emotion in the realm of creativity include personal readiness, environmental utilization, feedback, experimentation, movement, thought, emotion, and sustainability. In fact, no creative event occurs unless it is influenced by these foundations and bases.

Generally, cognitive emotion consists of two fundamental domains: dynamism and restlessness.

Dynamism implies intense feelings of strength accompanied by enthusiasm and active pursuit of curious and exciting experiences for a grand, fresh, and exciting idea. This sense of strength is accompanied by psychophysical states such as trembling and hunger and thirst.

"Dynamism" is broadly defined as the excitement of an individual's curiosity with any ambiguous issue in the realm of their favorite activities, and they eagerly and actively engage in it with a sense of extreme vigor without any weariness and without feeling the passage of time while dealing with a problem as large as it is to uncover the truth and clarify matters. Thus, the perpetual thought of achieving a great task, especially a new and fresh idea, and the exciting and troublesome inquisitive thought of life engulf them. They eagerly follow these adventurous and potentially dangerous curiosity through their experiences, even if that issue is not experienced. These states, accompanied by apparent cheerfulness, easy emotional movement, pleasure in physical activities, trembling, hunger, and thirst.

Restlessness refers to gradual mental fatigue resulting from the rotation of thoughts, accompanied by psychological-physical deficiencies.

Restlessness, in the broad sense, means intense thoughtfulness, activity, and mental conversation about the individual's intellectual issues, which causes them continuous and permanent internal preoccupation and restlessness, accompanied by confusion and a feeling of complete loss of certainty; doubt and uncertainty in solving their own problems ensnare them, and they yearn for those who always live in certainty; they become anxious and worried about solving their problems; forgetfulness and memory weakness frustrate them; especially when the issue is serious but unresolved, they become hopeless from themselves, gradually feeling tiredness, a constant feeling of fatigue and inability, and a feeling of loneliness envelops them. It occurs in the form of indolence and inactivity, taking away their sleep and making them feel constantly under pressure for activity, which leads to feelings of dry mouth, increased heartbeat and palpitations, and headaches.

Overall, efforts in cognitive emotion have been made in two main stages. The first tool is the Twelve-Factor Dynamism-Restlessness Test. The second effort is based on the theory of cognitive emotion, which was the result of twelve characteristics in four diagnostic domains: cognitive rigidity, emotional agitation, mental power.

Cognitive emotion is linked to the broadest and most practical domains of psychology. The domain of personality, cognitive domain, and mental health domain, all in relation to cognitive emotion, are related.

The expansion of the concept of cognitive emotion is related to the presentation of the interactive nature of personality, which initially covers two major foundational domains: analytical personality and contemplation.

The theoretical and research expansion of cognitive emotion in the realm of mental health has led to the realization of the equilibrium assumption.

Cognitive emotion and its components in interaction with other interactive psychological perspectives (the theory of interaction) such as interactive personality nature, the assumption of psychological equilibrium, and the assumption of rejuvenation have significant implications in
