Resonance and Dissonance Asymmetry in Effective Physician–Patient Relationships

Abstract

This paper examines the proposed asymmetry that should occur between resonance and dissonance in physician-patient relationships in favour of resonance to facilitate an effective relationship. Resonance is represented by the positive emotional attractor, which comprises patients' conscious preferred future or ideal self, and dissonance is expressed by the negative emotional attractor and consists of the gaps between patients' ideal and real self or their fears, problems, and shortfalls. Intentional change theory is reviewed to optimise the physician-patient relationship. Concepts from complexity theory and recent research on emotions are used to explain positive and negative emotional attractors. The role of resonance and dissonance in physician-patient relationships is discussed along with how behaviour can be changed with positive and negative emotional attractors. This paper focuses on the quality and effectiveness of physician-patient relationships for physicians who create high versus low positive emotional attractor/negative emotional attractor ratios. Two theoretical propositions are offered and the research and practice implications are explained.Keywords: asymmetry, intentional change theory, physician-patient relationships, positive and negative emotions, resonance and dissonance Declaration of interests: No confl ict of interests declaredAbstract Introduction

“…Além do já argumentado, vale ressaltar que os componentes do modelo, seus inputs e outputs, bem como sua estrutura dinâmica transcendem a fundação científica do modelo em si mesmo e explica sua citação nos cinco continentes e em variadas áreas e contextos tais como: tecnologia da informação (LAWRENCE, 2005), sustentabilidade (PAULISTA, MONTIBELLER & VARVAKIS, 2007), conflitos internacionais (COLEMAN, 2012e DANOWSKI, 2012, esportes (HALLDORSSON, 2019), saúde (MARCHANT, 2013;DYCK, 2017;BELL, et al, 2012), Marinha (McVEIGH et al, 2017), psicologia (ERASLAN-CAPAN, 2016), jornalismo (GYLDENSTED, 2011), negócios (CARMELI et al, 2013), engenharia civil (CHINOWSKY et al, 2008), inovação (CARMELI & SPREITZER, 2009), família (LUNKENHEIMER et al, 2011), educação (RUSU & COLOMEISCHI, 2020VOERMAN et al, 2012) e aprendizagem virtual, (ARAÚJO, 2004).…”

Experiencing Organizational Change Through the Change Management Simulation: Power and Influence

“…However, none of Kotter's eight steps directly address the affective nature of change. In contrast, Boyatzis' (2006) Intentional Change Theory (ICT), which is a dynamic and iterative model of change, suggests that one moves in the direction of one's ideal self, which is best motivated when the balance of positive emotions outweighs the negative emotions of the individual seeking change (Dyck, 2017). Dyck and Lovelace (2018) have recently positioned ICT as a meaningful alternative to existing and long-standing behavior change models.…”

Enhancing the Performance of Healthcare Organizations: An Applied Analysis of Digital Technologies and Sustainability

“…Through streamlined access to information, resources, and support systems, web-based platforms have contributed to greater transparency, collaboration, and patient-centered care delivery models. This evolution in communication paradigms underscores the transformative potential of web services in reshaping the dynamics of healthcare delivery and promoting more inclusive and participatory healthcare ecosystems (Kalliainen & Lichtman, 2010;Dyck, 2017;Wan et al, 2021).…”
