【管理辞典】不应期 / Refractory Period


「释义」
在生物对某一刺激发生反应后,在一定时间内,即使再给予刺激,也不发生反应。一般称此期间为不应期。
「应用场景」
心理状态也会影响专注力。一般来说,负面的情绪会降低专注力。加州大学旧金山校区的保罗·艾克曼针对情绪有开创性的研究。他指出,负面情绪会造成一段“不应期”,让注意力只局限在你情绪的对象上。换句话说,处于生气状态时,你就只会注意那个让你生气的事物。想要某种事物的情绪也是如此。积极情绪的效应则正好相反,能提升、展开专注力,让你看到事物的全貌。
Our mental states also impact on our focus. Negative emotions generally decrease it. Paul Ekman, a groundbreaking researcher in emotions from the University of California, San Francisco, described how difficult emotions create a refractory period that narrows your focus on the object of your emotion. In other words, if you get angry, it is hard to focus on anything else than what made you angry. The same goes for desires. Positive emotions generally have the opposite effect, enhancing and opening your focus to see the bigger picture.
