The personality traits this particular study looked at were:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Optimism \u2013 hopefulness or a positive outlook on the future,<\/li>\n<li>Positive Affect \u2013 a person\u2019s tendency to experience positive emotions and to deal with life\u2019s challenges in a positive way, and<\/li>\n<li>Cognitive Reappraisal \u2013 the ability to recognize a pattern of negative thoughts and change that thought pattern.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>All of these traits affect how an individual copes with emotional challenges. <strong>People who are optimistic and are high in positive affect have an easier time calming themselves down when they feel types of emotional distress. <\/strong>This is likely because they are able to look positively at the situation and the future, knowing that whatever is happening now will not be happening forever.<\/p>\n<p>It makes sense that people who have these traits are more likely to have lower levels of anxiety. It is also easy to see how people who, for instance, are unable to get themselves out of a negative thought spiral would experience higher levels of anxiety and emotional distress. The good news is that this research is shedding light on how people may be able to train their brains to have these traits.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\">\n<h3>Training the Brain<\/h3>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/dailymom.com\/portal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Personality-traits.jpg\" data-pin-description data-pin-id src=\"https:\/\/dailymom.com\/portal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Webp.net-resizeimage-4-1-1200x777.jpg\" alt=\"daily mom parent portal Personality Traits\" class=\"wp-image-165062\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dailymom.com\/portal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Webp.net-resizeimage-4-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/dailymom.com\/portal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Webp.net-resizeimage-4-1-960x622.jpg 960w, https:\/\/dailymom.com\/portal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Webp.net-resizeimage-4-1-768x497.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dailymom.com\/portal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Webp.net-resizeimage-4-1-150x97.jpg 150w, https:\/\/dailymom.com\/portal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Webp.net-resizeimage-4-1-600x389.jpg 600w, https:\/\/dailymom.com\/portal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Webp.net-resizeimage-4-1-696x451.jpg 696w, https:\/\/dailymom.com\/portal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Webp.net-resizeimage-4-1-1068x692.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/dailymom.com\/portal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Webp.net-resizeimage-4-1-649x420.jpg 649w, https:\/\/dailymom.com\/portal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Webp.net-resizeimage-4-1-93x60.jpg 93w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" title=\"Understanding How Your Brain and Personality Traits Protect Against Distress 4 Daily Mom Parents Portal\"><\/figure>\n<p><strong>The researchers at the University of Illinois believe that the brain can be trained to learn the behaviors that can help avoid certain negative emotions like anxiety.<\/strong> This could be especially helpful in lower anxiety situations like taking a test, going to the doctor, or before a job interview. <\/p>\n<p>Currently, researchers are working on identifying which regions of the brain need to be functioning at a high volume and which personality traits are needed in order to figure out ways to combat anxiety and depression. They believe that cognitive behavioral intervention (brain training) could be developed to target certain brain areas. They think this is a possibility, in part, because brain volume changes through experience and training. People can develop new skills, like new strategies for regulating emotions that have a more positive approach. These new skills actually impact the brain, which is always learning and changing. <\/p>\n<p>Certain things like language development have a very particular window when the brain absorbs that information and can absorb the most change. But with certain types of emotional development, the window is not as certain or as well-defined. <em>So researchers believe if you teach someone certain skills that can help alter personality traits like optimism or cognitive reappraisal, that person can learn to combat some level of anxiety and depression. <\/em><\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\">\n<h3>Potential Impact on Treatment<\/h3>\n<p>This research could have a great impact on how psychology looks at treating emotional distress and a person\u2019s emotional well-being. Researchers still do not fully understand how the brain and personality traits protect a person from this type of emotional distress. The exciting thing is that they are working to understand it. <\/p>\n<p>Today, around one in eight children are affected by anxiety. If researchers can develop the right combination of brain research, personality, and symptoms to approach treating anxiety, hopefully that number will drop dramatically in the next decade. That is not to say that anxiety or other types of emotional distress will be wiped out. What it <em>may <\/em>mean is that fewer people have uncontrollable anxiety, or that more people are able to control low-level anxiety.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\">\n<p>The brain\u2019s ability to change and adapt is an amazing thing. <em>The fact that researchers are using the brain\u2019s ability to learn and change to combat a problem also caused by the brain is a pretty cool thing to think about.<\/em> Maybe one day in the near future part of the treatment for anxiety will include therapy sessions to train a person\u2019s brain to feel less emotional distress. It would be an amazing thing to have a world with a little less stress and anxiety. <\/p>\n<p><strong>WANT TO READ MORE?<\/strong><br \/>Check out this article on Managing Your Anxiety as a Mom.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-background\"><strong>GET MORE FROM DAILY MOM, PARENTS PORTAL<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Newsletter: Daily Mom delivered to you<br \/>Facebook: @DailyMomOfficial<br \/><strong>Instagram<\/strong>: @DailyMomOfficial | @DailyMomTravel | @BestProductsClub<br \/><strong>YouTube:<\/strong> @DailyMomVideos<br \/><strong>Pinterest<\/strong>: @DailyMomOfficial<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/dailymom.com\/portal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Personality-traits.jpg\" data-pin-description data-pin-id src=\"https:\/\/dailymom.com\/portal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Personality-traits-1200x1800.jpg\" alt=\"daily mom parent portal Personality Traits\" class=\"wp-image-165433\" width=\"300\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dailymom.com\/portal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Personality-traits-1200x1800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/dailymom.com\/portal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Personality-traits-960x1440.jpg 960w, https:\/\/dailymom.com\/portal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Personality-traits-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dailymom.com\/portal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Personality-traits-150x225.jpg 150w, https:\/\/dailymom.com\/portal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Personality-traits-600x900.jpg 600w, https:\/\/dailymom.com\/portal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Personality-traits-696x1044.jpg 696w, https:\/\/dailymom.com\/portal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Personality-traits-1068x1602.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/dailymom.com\/portal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Personality-traits-280x420.jpg 280w, https:\/\/dailymom.com\/portal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Personality-traits-40x60.jpg 40w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" title=\"Understanding How Your Brain and Personality Traits Protect Against Distress 5 Daily Mom Parents Portal\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h4>\ud83d\udc96Let us help you be the best self you can be!\ud83d\udc96 <br \/>Sign up to receive our picks for the best things to do, see and buy, so you could relax and do more important tasks!<\/h4>\n<link href=\"\/\/cdn-images.mailchimp.com\/embedcode\/classic-10_7.css\" as=\"style\" onload=\"this.onload=null;this.rel='stylesheet'\" rel=\"preload\" type=\"text\/css\">\n<p>Sources: Anxiety & Depression Association of America Facts and Statistics, How Our Brain and Personality Provide Protection Against Emotional Distress, What is Resiliency and Why is it so Important?, Positive Affect and Stress, Improve Your Perspective Using Cognitive Reappraisal, Social Influences on Neuroplasticity: stress and interventions to promote well-being, Living with Anxiety: Children and Teens<\/p>\n<p> <noscript><link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"https:\/\/dailymom.com\/portal\/wp-content\/cache\/min\/1\/38632cb8939f7ce3c9b851cc51de3fa0.css\" data-minify=\"1\"><\/noscript><noscript><link href=\"\/\/cdn-images.mailchimp.com\/embedcode\/classic-10_7.css\" rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text\/css\"><\/noscript><\/body> <\/html><\/div>\n<footer>\n<div class=\"td-block-row td-post-next-prev\">\n<div class=\"td-block-span6 td-post-prev-post\">\n<div class=\"td-post-next-prev-content\"><span>Previous article<\/span>10 Easy Ways to Lower Blood Sugar Levels Naturally<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-box-wrap\" readability=\"10.114173228346\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt src=\"https:\/\/dailymom.com\/portal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Webp.net-resizeimage-2-150x150.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dailymom.com\/portal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Webp.net-resizeimage-2-150x150.jpg\" class=\"avatar avatar-96 photo\" height=\"96\" width=\"96\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"desc\" readability=\"15.412073490814\">\n<p>Michelle lives in North Carolina with her husband and their two boys.
