“…For example, the opposition between reason and emotion has been questioned with empirical certainty after the development of some of the neuroscience research on emotions [2]. This in turn has forced researchers from other areas of expertise to accept previous criticism of this opposition and work towards a reconceptualized notion of rationality that can integrate novel insights from emotion research [3]. The extraordinarily immense amount of literature which is published in a wide variety of fields testifies the enormous conceptual enterprise which emotion research has promoted.…”

Self-Pity as Resilience against Injustice

This paper proposes that being able to feel self-pity is important to be resilient against injustices because it enables self-transformation. The suggestion for this reassessment of self-pity as a crucial self-conscious emotion for a more humanistic world aims to be an example of how philosophical reflection can be insightful for emotion research. The first part of the paper outlines a general introduction of philosophy of emotions and a description of how Hume’s analysis of pride changed its meaning and pertinently linked it to human agency. The second part of the paper is devoted to self-pity and aims to offer a modified interpretation of its experience, ultimately suggesting that it is a way to cultivate resistance and endure injustices in the world. It begins by putting forward the generally accepted take on self-pity and then suggests that dismissing self-pity may increase its duration, and ultimately work as a type of denial of the world’s injustices. After describing how self-pity can be seen as a tour de force where the self is in a relationship of pity with itself, it further elaborates how self-pity may be taken as a type of calibration similar to how sleep works for the functioning organism. This makes it possible to interpret self-pity as a way to resiliently resist injustices while not dismissing them and keeping up the struggle to make the world a better place. Finally, the concluding remarks point out some consequences for the education of emotions and possible future research directions to be explored. Analogously to the undeniable way by which Hume changed the meaning of the emotion of pride, the conclusion hopes that a new way to understand self-pity is available. The overall goal is to amplify the already existing psychological descriptions showing the complementary role of philosophical research for the development of emotion research in general.

“…We think that the interpretative task is fundamental for understanding the role of emotion in reasoning and deliberation because it provides a better understanding the complexity of emotional experience showing the plural role of emotions in deliberation (Mendonça and Sàágua 2018) and the source of its normative strength. For example, it shows how certain meta-emotions can become first-order emotions as, for example, when someone predicts the possibility of fear, they might feel embarrassed before its occurrence making embarrassment a first-order emotion because of its second-order genealogy.…”

Bu çalışma, ilk olarak üniversitede öğrenim gören bireylerin üst duygu düzeylerinin cinsiyete göre incelenmesi ve ikinci olarak da bilinçli farkındalık ve duygu düzenleme becerilerinin birlikte, üst duyguyu yordama durumunu incelemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Bu iki amaç doğrultusunda, 2020-2021 eğitim öğretim yılında Türkiye’nin çeşitli üniversitelerinde öğrenim görmekte olan 748’i kadın, 302’si erkek toplam 1050 öğrenciye ulaşılmıştır. Katılımcılara; kişisel bilgi formu, Duygu Düzenleme Ölçeği, Bilinçli Farkındalık Ölçeği ve Üst Duygu Ölçeği uygulanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde t-testi ve çoklu doğrusal regresyon analizi kullanılmıştır. Yapılan analizler sonucunda, üniversite öğrencilerinin olumlu üst duygularının cinsiyete göre anlamlı bir fark gösterdiği; olumsuz üst duyguların cinsiyete göre anlamlı bir fark göstermediği bulgulanmıştır. Ayrıca, bilinçli farkındalık ve duygu düzenleme becerilerinin olumlu ile olumsuz üst duyguları anlamlı düzeyde yordadığı saptanmıştır. Bulgular, ilgili alanyazın içinde tartışılmış ve çeşitli önerilerde bulunulmuştur.
