Research Suggests Cognitive Ability, Associated With More Controlled,Emotional Response.<br/>PsyPost reports that new research suggests that people with <br/>high cognitive ability display slower and less intense emotional <br/>peaks compared to people with lower cognitive abilities.<br/>PsyPost reports that new research suggests that people with <br/>high cognitive ability display slower and less intense emotional <br/>peaks compared to people with lower cognitive abilities.<br/>The research found that emotional reactions of <br/>people with higher cognitive ability start more <br/>slowly, are less intense and change gradually.<br/>General cognitive ability includes a range <br/>of skills like reasoning, problem-solving, <br/>logic and abstract thinking.<br/>People with higher levels of cognitive <br/>ability (or general intelligence) exhibited <br/>emotional reactions that were delayed <br/>or slower than people with lower <br/>levels of cognitive ability did, Michael D. Robinson, Study author and professor of psychology at North Dakota State University, via PsyPost.<br/>The findings suggest that individuals with higher cognitive <br/>function experience emotional shifts that are gradual, <br/>which indicated a more controlled emotional response. .<br/>This delayed emotional response may be <br/>the result of 'over-thinking' feelings and <br/>may come at the cost of spontaneity. .<br/> We speculate that certain forms of <br/>intellectual activity obscure or <br/>confuse more spontaneous <br/>emotional processes. , Michael D. Robinson, Study author and professor of psychology at North Dakota State University, via PsyPost.<br/>That is, intelligent people may ‘over-think’ <br/>their feelings, losing touch with the more <br/>emotion-related aspects of their lives. , Michael D. Robinson, Study author and professor of psychology at North Dakota State University, via PsyPost.<br/>Conversely, people with less cognitive ability <br/>may be more spontaneous and in tune <br/>with their emotions, at least on average, Michael D. Robinson, Study author and professor of psychology at North Dakota State University, via PsyPost.<br/>The study, “General cognitive ability, as assessed by self-<br/>reported ACT scores, is associated with reduced emotional<br/> responding: Evidence from a Dynamic Affect Reactivity <br/>Task“, was published in the journal 'Intelligence.'
