Mostly we see psychology they are focused and represent issues medically, but the intervention of social psychology opens a gate to study human behavior not with its brain but learning and poking towards learning and observation. The human mind continuously needs good health because it is the only organ that can ensure a good life and good going of life. Today, we will study resilience and social cognition, in which we will learn why they became so important in social psychology and how we can implement them in our lives.
Resilience or Psychological resilience can be described as the ability of a person to adapt to life tasks within the conditions of social disadvantages or highly stressed conditions. Mostly, the stress in our social life is due to the shaping of our life, lacking socialization, unhealthy activities, relationship issues, health problems, etc., which makes out this way. Resilience is a bouncer for these negative expressions in the stress of life. If we look at it, we find it rare in our society and our company because we cannot control our minds and activities and cannot balance things properly. If someone needs to go through it, they must develop a sense of understanding with unique abilities.
Most people think of resilience as freeing yourself from negative thoughts, but actually, it is to provoke or cope with negative thoughts that come to you. If a person takes up resilience, they can live a happy life and a controlled base approach. To develop it in our life we can make it through setting goals and being a long-term perspective person, also not being always demanding but understanding and thoughtful so can cop with bad thoughts and negative work2.
Social cognition is the most important topic of social psychology which focuses on the people’s learning process about the surroundings and community which focuses on the role of cognition in our interactions. Social cognition deals with the interaction of the same species from a human to a human within the four processes (encoding, storage, retrieval, and processing) of learning, which deals with the processes studied according to cognitive methods and information learning theory. The analysis of this is a content area within social psychology, including the intrapersonal, intra-group, and intergroup learning procedures, which are learned with different behaviors and responses.
Social cognition helps develop behavior where a person develops their perceptions and behavior from the other person. We interact daily with different social people and learn from them using our five senses. Cognition lies in animals, too, but they are not social they adopt actions, not behavior. Human nature is elastic and can be transformed or shaped by its cognitive process. Cognition is the only thing that can develop a life in a good way or worse. In Eastern society cognition is more holistic and also depends on culture and norms in some way it is good or in some way, it develops a bad impact1.
Social cognition betterment can make effective resilience because if you have good learning surroundings and good behavior with a motivated company you can easily provoke negative thoughts. To bring out fruitful social cognition have good and motivated company and try to listen to the people who are the successors of life, not the spenders of life which will help you to develop resilience skills1.
