Understanding the Nature of Patience and Impatience

December 21, 2024 - 07:07

Understanding the Nature of Patience and Impatience

Patience, along with its counterpart impatience, has long been viewed as an elusive concept that people often recognize intuitively. However, this ambiguity prompted UC Riverside psychology researcher Kate Sweeny to delve deeper into the subject. Sweeny and her team aimed to clarify the definitions and underlying factors that shape these emotional states.

Their research highlights that patience is not merely the ability to wait but involves a complex interplay of emotional regulation, cognitive appraisal, and individual differences in temperament. The study identifies key elements that contribute to patience, including a person’s expectations, coping strategies, and the context of the situation. Conversely, impatience often arises from frustration, anxiety, and a perceived lack of control over circumstances.

By examining these factors, Sweeny’s work seeks to provide a clearer understanding of how patience and impatience manifest in daily life. This research not only contributes to psychological literature but also offers practical insights for improving emotional well-being and interpersonal relationships.
