According
to Wikipedia, ‘Determination’ is a positive emotional feeling that involves
persevering towards a difficult goal in spite of obstacles.
Determination
occurs prior to goal attainment and serves to motivate behavior that will help
achieve one’s goal.
Empirical
research suggests that people consider determination to be an emotion; in other
words, determination is not just a cognitive state, but rather an affective
state.
In
the psychology literature, researchers have studied determination under other
terms, including challenge and anticipatory enthusiasm; this may explain one
reason for the relative lack of research on determination compared to other
positive emotions.
Experiences
of determination are linked to a recognizable facial expression that involves
frowning of the eyebrows, an expression that is perceptually similar to anger.
This
eyebrow frown is associated with the perception of goal obstacles, supporting
the notion that determination is associated with the action tendency of
preparing to overcome difficult obstacles in goal pursuit.
Of
course yes.
