A comparison of positive following cognition in three different cultural systems
Indifferent cultural systems,individuals have varying cognitive psychological characteristics regarding positive fatalism.Under secular cultural systems,the cognitive perspectives on positive fatalism may stem from idioms passed down through generations and the summation of personal or others'experiences,centering around the logic of destiny or fate,with individuals motivated by satisfying their own interests.In the psychological cultural system,represented by humanism and Morita therapy,the main viewpoints emphasize taking social responsibility and following natural behavioral norms,focusing on individual responsibility and natural laws,with the goal of pursuing mental health.Within Chinese Confucian culture,positive fatalism is highlighted as maintaining one's effort and struggle while accepting the arrangements of fate,not losing inner peace due to external changes.Its cognitive logic is based on the wisdom derived from the harmonious relationship between humans and nature.In psychotherapy,by employing the Confucian cultural system,which is more accepted by Chinese individuals,therapists can adjust clients'irrational cognitions through the influence of positive fatalism in Confucian culture,helping them establish more rational cognitive concepts.
