Negative affectivityNegative affectivity (NA), or negative affect, is a personality variable that involves the experience of negative emotions and poor self-concept. Negative affectivity subsumes a variety of negative emotions, including anger, contempt, disgust, guilt, fear, and nervousness. Low negative affectivity is characterized by frequent states of calmness and serenity, along with states of confidence, activeness, and great enthusiasm. Individuals differ in negative emotional reactivity.
Éthique de l'ingénierieL’éthique de l'ingénierie est le domaine de l'éthique appliquée qui examine et établit des normes pour les ingénieurs dans le cadre de leurs obligations envers le public, leurs clients, leurs employeurs et la profession. Serment d'Archimède : élaboré en 1990 par un groupe de diplômants de l'École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne sur le modèle du serment d'Hippocrate En France, voir Ingénieurs et scientifiques de France#Éthique de l'ingénieur Responsabilité éthique de l’ingénieur dans les systèmes complex
Medical ethicsMedical ethics is an applied branch of ethics which analyzes the practice of clinical medicine and related scientific research. Medical ethics is based on a set of values that professionals can refer to in the case of any confusion or conflict. These values include the respect for autonomy, non-maleficence, beneficence, and justice. Such tenets may allow doctors, care providers, and families to create a treatment plan and work towards the same common goal.
Ingénierie des systèmesL'ingénierie des systèmes ou ingénierie système est une approche scientifique interdisciplinaire, dont le but est de formaliser et d'appréhender la conception et la validation de systèmes complexes. L'ingénierie des systèmes a pour objectif de maîtriser et de contrôler la conception de systèmes dont la complexité ne permet pas le pilotage simple. Par système, on entend un ensemble d'éléments humains ou matériels en interdépendance les uns les autres et qui inter-opèrent à l'intérieur de frontières ouvertes ou non sur l'environnement.
Emotions and cultureAccording to some theories, emotions are universal phenomena, albeit affected by culture. Emotions are "internal phenomena that can, but do not always, make themselves observable through expression and behavior". While some emotions are universal and are experienced in similar ways as a reaction to similar events across all cultures, other emotions show considerable cultural differences in their antecedent events, the way they are experienced, the reactions they provoke and the way they are perceived by the surrounding society.
AffectUn affect est un état de l'esprit tel qu'une sensation, une émotion, un sentiment, une humeur (au sens technique d’état moral : déprime, optimisme, anxiété...). Tout état de ce type a un aspect bon ou mauvais (jugement) et ainsi nous influence ou nous motive. Il varie également en force, c'est-à-dire son incidence sur notre motivation à agir ou réagir, et donc sur la conation (effort, volonté). Ces états sont regroupés dans le domaine de l'affectivité, par opposition aux idées abstraites par exemple qui ne sont ressenties ni comme bonnes ni comme mauvaises.
Emotion and memoryEmotion can have a powerful effect on humans and animals. Numerous studies have shown that the most vivid autobiographical memories tend to be of emotional events, which are likely to be recalled more often and with more clarity and detail than neutral events. The activity of emotionally enhanced memory retention can be linked to human evolution; during early development, responsive behavior to environmental events would have progressed as a process of trial and error.
Génie civilLe génie civil représente l'ensemble des techniques de constructions civiles. Les ingénieurs civils ou ingénieurs en génie civil s’occupent de la conception, la réalisation, l’exploitation et la réhabilitation d’ouvrages de construction et d’infrastructures dont ils assurent la gestion afin de répondre aux besoins de la société, tout en assurant la sécurité du public et la protection de l’environnement. Très variées, leurs réalisations se répartissent principalement dans cinq grands domaines d’intervention : structures, géotechnique, hydraulique, transport, et environnement.
Affective forecastingAffective forecasting (also known as hedonic forecasting, or the hedonic forecasting mechanism) is the prediction of one's affect (emotional state) in the future. As a process that influences preferences, decisions, and behavior, affective forecasting is studied by both psychologists and economists, with broad applications. In The Theory of Moral Sentiments (1759), Adam Smith observed the personal challenges, and social benefits, of hedonic forecasting errors: [Consider t]he poor man's son, whom heaven in its anger has visited with ambition, when he begins to look around him, admires the condition of the rich .
Moral developmentMoral development focuses on the emergence, change, and understanding of morality from infancy through adulthood. The theory states that morality develops across a life span in a variety of ways and is influenced by an individual's experiences and behavior when faced with moral issues through different periods of physical and cognitive development. Morality concerns an individual's reforming sense of what is right and wrong; it is for this reason that young children have different moral judgment and character than that of a grown adult.
