"Think hurt" .. a new research that connects the spiritual effort with negative feelings

In a new research published by the American Society of Psychology, it is said that the spiritual effort is related to unpleasant feelings, and these results dispute the general assumption that people are involved in tasks that require spiritual effort. The directors and teachers often encourage employees and students to do a spiritual effort, and in theory it looks good. Often these activities that represent a spiritual challenge, and scientists tend to conclude that these groups enjoy serious thinking. On the other hand, the results of the new research indicated that this conclusion could be incorrect. Generally, people hate spiritual effort. The research pointed out that the inherent hatred of the spiritual effort, despite the social attempt at spiritual rigor, productivity and learning. The results have encouraged to re -evaluate how to deal with tasks that require a good knowledge effort, which is an indication of the need for strategies that can make them more acceptable. Cognitive participation said that the understanding of the dislike of spiritual effort can lead to more effective ways to motivate individuals and involve them in both educational environments and workplaces. By recognizing the annoyance associated with spiritual effort, better support systems and environments can facilitate cognitive participation without the associated negative feelings. The researchers said that the phrase “hurts me” in the essence, more than just words, as it can be a reflection of the real annoyance associated with spiritual effort, which is the discomfort that needs to be addressed to improve performance and luxury in academic and professional contexts. The researchers conducted a molten analysis of 170 studies, published between 2019 and 2020, including 4 thousand and 670 participants, to investigate how people generally experience the spiritual effort. The metaphor analysis is a statistical procedure based on the inclusion of qualitative and quantitative data to achieve accurate statistical conclusions on studies with overlapping results. The researchers have tested whether the spiritual effort is linked to unpleasant feelings, and whether it depends on the task or society in question. Studies have used a variety of participants from 29 countries, which included healthcare staff, military staff, amateur athletes, university students, and included 358 different knowledge missions, such as: learning a new technology, finding a way to overcome an unknown environment, playing golf, performing spiritual games in virtual reality and others. Frustration and tension and in all the studies analyzed, the participants reported the level of the effort they used, and also the extent of their sense of unpleasant feelings, such as frustration, tension or discomfort. The higher the spiritual effort, between population groups and tasks, the more unpleasant the participants feel. The results of the researchers also showed that the spiritual efforts seem unpleasant through a wide range of population and tasks. The researchers pointed out that it is especially important for engineers and teachers who should take these results into consideration when designing tasks, tools, facades, applications, educational materials and others. The researchers warned that when people were asked to do a great spiritual effort, they should be supported or rewarded for their efforts. Although the relationship between spiritual effort and negative feelings is great, it was less clear in studies done in Asian countries, compared to those done in Europe or North America. The date of learning in people and this is in line with the general idea. The dislike of the spiritual effort can depend on the history of learning among people. The researchers said that high school students in Asian countries tend to spend more time on school duties, compared to their peers in Europe or North America, and that they can learn to endure higher levels of spiritual effort early in their lives. People can learn that in some specific activities a spiritual effort is likely to lead to a reward. For example, if the benefits of chess exercise have exceeded their mental costs, people can choose to play it and even express themselves that they enjoy it. However, if people choose to follow the activities that need a spiritual effort, it should not be considered an indication that they enjoy the spiritual effort in itself, people can choose spiritually stressful activities despite the effort made, not as a result.
