I couldn't understand concept of moving and staying away from the source of emotion. Does it mean that people with higher right cerebral hemisphere activity tend to stay away from being happy? And why sadness is associated with right hemisphere because depression is an effort to withdraw from whatever is causing the emotion? And what is meant by saying emotion here, do we consider all emotions?

You mentioned three books in the six posts you made so far, and all of them are a bit on the nose in one way or another. If they were recommended by some individual or school, I suggest you steer clear of them in future and find help from someone with a more rigorously scientific approach to the issues you're trying to learn about.

ogger wrote:Yes, you are right. I read the modified version. It seems I need to change my textbook.

The textbook I use is: Personality by Jerry M. Burger. This is the amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/Personality-Jerr ... nskepti-20

Three posts in this thread. My reference was to three of your six posts you had made by the time I posted.ogger wrote:Yes, you are right. I read the modified version.

Looks like three texts to me. Only one was cited, and that only after some prompting. Personally I think it's a good idea to at least provide a link to texts one is basing one's learning on, but maybe that's just me. The reason for that is that others can check it out and comment on your source.
The author of the one you did finish up providing information on, for example, was a professor of Psychology at Santa Clara University for 34 years until his retirement last year. He was well respected and much published, but Santa Clara University was founded by the Jesuits and is still operated by them today. All bachelor degrees it confers require three religious studies courses as part of the academic core, so it wouldn't surprise me if there turned out to be a religiously inspired angle underlying his work and teachings.
This got me wondering if your other sources are of similar bent, and part of the reason why I wroteHermit wrote:You mentioned three books in the six posts you made so far, and all of them are a bit on the nose in one way or another.
