Anxiety and Decision Making
焦慮和決策

We live in a world immersed in monumental amounts of information. We are constantly presented with a wide range of options and conflicting opinions. This is particularly true around election times characterized by polarization. How does one define a position for self in the midst of the avalanche of messages? What are the factors that intervene in someone’s efforts to find their own point of view, their own unique voice? How can one increase the capacity to make thoughtful decisions when anxiety runs high? Joining me to explore key elements that Bowen family systems theory identifies as playing a role when making important decisions in the midst of emotionally aroused social environments is Dr. Dan Papero. For more than 30 years Dr. Papero has been a faculty member at the Bowen Center for the Study of the Family. He has published extensively about family systems theory, family psychotherapy, and the functioning of corporations and organizations.

我們生活在一個沉浸在海量訊息中的世界，經常面臨各種各樣的選擇和相互矛盾的意見。在特別兩極分化的選舉時期尤其如是。如何在訊息氾濫的年代中為自己界定一個位置？是什麼因素干擾了人們尋找自己的觀點、獨特的聲音？當焦慮情緒高漲時，如何提升作深思熟慮決定的能力？

Dr. Dan Papero 與我們一起探討在博域家庭系統理論中，被認為在情緒激動的社會環境中影響重要決定的關鍵要素。30 多年來，Dr. Papero 一直是博域家庭研究中心的教員。他發表了大量關於家庭系統理論、家庭心理治療以及公司和組織運作的文章。
