| Abstract | Znanstvenici Darwin, James i Freud bili su prvi znanstvenici koji su se počeli baviti pitanjem emocija, tj. njihovim shvaćanjem.Svaka kultura može shvatiti emocije na različite načine, ali mogli bismo u cjelini reći da su emocije naziv za čovjekovu reakciju na neki događaj. Tako možemo pozitivno i negativno reagirati na neku situaciju u kojoj se nađemo. Neke od pozitivnih emocija su: sreća, ljubav, zadovoljstvo, nada, a pod negativne emocije ubrajamo: zavist, ljubomoru, mržnju, gađenje, žalost i tugu. Prema Oatleyu i Jenkinsu (1996) emocija je obično izazvana svjesnim ili nesvjesnim vrednovanjem nekog događaja kao bitnog za neki važan cilj: emocija se osjeća kao pozitivna kada se cilj ostvaruje, a kao negativna kada je ostvarenje cilja zapriječeno.Tugovanje kod djece odnosi se na aspekte u njihovom životu kada izgube nešto do čega im je stalo. To se može odnositi na gubitak voljene i bliske osobe, omiljene igračke, selidbu, rastavu roditelja i sl. U tim trenucima najvažnije je da djeca dobiju podršku i razumijevanje od članova obitelji i njima bliskih osoba. Svatko na različite načine tuguje. Tako će i proces tugovanja teći puno lakše kada dječje potrebe budu prihvaćene i kada se djeci pomogne u suočavanju onoga što im se dogodilo. |
| Abstract (english) | Darwin, James, and Freud were among the first scientists who started addressing the question of emotions, i.e. the understanding of emotions. Every culture understands emotions differently, but on the whole we could say that emotions are a term used for people's reactions to a certain event. Hence, we can react positively or negatively to a given situation. We can count happiness, love, pleasure, and hope as positive emotions, while jealousy, hatred, disgust, sadness, and sorrow can be considered negative. According to Oatley and Jenkins (1996), an emotion is usually brought about by an either conscious or subconscious evaluation of an event as important in the process of attaining a valuable goal: an emotion is perceived as positive when the goal is attained and as negative when the realization of the goal is hindered. Grieving in children refers to aspects in their lives when they lose something they deeply care about. This may refer to a loss of a loved one, their favourite toy, moving house, their parents' divorce, etc. It is of the highest importance that the child receive support and understanding in these moments from their family members and the people they feel close to. Everyone is sad in their own way. Therefore, the process of grieving will progress more smoothly when the child's needs are met and accepted, and when the children are helped with facing the unpleasant event. |
