érzelemorientált

Érzelemorientált is a Hungarian adjective used to describe approaches, analyses, or attitudes that prioritize emotions and affective factors in human behavior, learning, or intervention. The term stems from érzelem (emotion) and orientált (oriented) and is commonly contrasted with cognition-oriented or task-oriented approaches.

In psychology and psychotherapy, érzelemorientált megközelítés refers to modalities that emphasize emotional experience, emotion regulation, and processing of affective states, alongside or beside thoughts and behaviors. Emotion-focused therapy (EFT) is a widely cited example of an evidence-informed, érzelemorientált therapeutic framework.

In education and learning, the concept denotes methods that take students’ emotional states, motivation, and relational climate into account as central to the learning process. Such approaches aim to create supportive, secure environments that foster both emotional and cognitive development.

In design, management, and user experience contexts, érzelemorientált practices prioritize the affective responses of users or employees. This includes strategies to elicit positive emotions, enhance engagement, and cultivate empathetic, emotionally intelligent interactions within organizations or products.

Critiques of érzelemorientált approaches point to challenges in objectively measuring emotions, potential neglect of cognitive or practical demands, and cultural variability in emotional expression and interpretation. Proponents argue that a balanced integration of affective and cognitive factors can enhance motivation, well-being, and outcomes across domains.
