Emotions are a vital asset. They form the raw material of the energy and vitality that drive human action and push life forward. Emotions act both as a tool for expressing one’s personality and as a basis for making important decisions. Therefore, how effectively you typically manage your emotions influences the direction and quality of your life. This is also why positive people tend to be successful. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
The social scientist’s method of confirming the facts is first to verify the beta error (Type II error) and then the alpha error (Type I error) before accepting the hypothesis as true. In other words, if the probability is less than 5% after focusing on the likelihood of accepting a false hypothesis as true (Type II error), then we risk rejecting a true hypothesis (Type I error) as false. It’s a conservative position that new information will be accepted only when the probability of being wrong is very small. This verification method is helpful if you don’t want to be swayed by conspiracy theories. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
