Emotional Quantum Theory

Jorge Ure, Stella Capurro.

Abstract

Here we present a novel Theory of Motivation based on scientific understanding of three classic Psychology concepts: temperaments (primary personality factors), secondary personality factors and the innate components of character. All three may belong to emotional anatomical systems with three different locations: brainstem and diencephalic nuclei for temperaments, limbic system for the secondary factors and frontal lobes and associative factors underpinning the character's features. Although there are fixed inherited features there are also biographical, social and cultural influences which lies outside this theoretical framework., These factors are organized along three axis: (1) time intuition (in Bergson's sense) vs.drive for actions, (2) reward vs. punishment, and (3) introversion vs. extraversion. Through the predominance of one allele in each axis we arrive to a six model of primary factors. According to Jung there are eight factors for secondary ones, and the same number are projected for characters, The psychometric work of Reyburn & Raath and the acoustic patterns of speaking individuals previously studied with psychometric Tests seems to confirm there are six predominant factors [1]. Also six vectors could be derived from neurophysiological data [2].
