Why reassurance doesn't always make us feel better | Anna Linnehan | TEDxEndicott College

Over the course of centuries, numerous efforts have been made to understand human emotion. Fortunately, converging approaches from neuroscience and the consequential contingency analysis of behavior provide answers to the questions: What are emotions and emotional behavior? How do we use our emotions and emotional behavior to affect the world around us? My talk will answer these questions, as well as describe why we shouldn’t seek to control or get rid of our emotions. Rather, we should use them to navigate and enrich our lives, fostering deeper connections and a more profound understanding of ourselves and others. Anna M. Linnehan is the Director of Academic Operations for the Institute for Applied Behavior Analysis and a professor at Endicott College. Dr. Linnehan earned her masters and doctoral degrees in Applied Behavior Analysis from Endicott College, Beverly, MA. Her research utilizes the Goldiamond-Layng Theory, a behavioral contingency analytic account of emotions, paired with instructional design to teach emotional concepts to develop programs to help individuals identify and problem solve their own emotions and emotional behavior. Additionally, she is passionate in the dissemination of nonlinear contingency analysis and programming based on Israel Goldiamond’s constructional approach. Dr. Linnehan is also interested in the application of signal detection theory to analyze decisions and decision-making behavior. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
