Emotion intensity and reactivity are linked in that individuals with higher emotional reactivity tend to experience more intense emotions. Emotional reactivity refers to how easily and intensely a person's emotions are triggered by external or internal stimuli, while emotion intensity refers to the strength or magnitude of the emotional response itself [18 ,20 ,1 ].

Individuals with neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders may experience emotional reactivity to varying degrees depending on the specific disorder and its associated symptoms. For example, individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) may exhibit reduced emotional reactivity or difficulty with emotional regulation, while individuals with bipolar disorder may experience heightened emotional reactivity and mood swings [11 ]. Similarly, individuals with neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease may experience changes in emotional reactivity as the disease progresses and affects different areas of the brain. These changes can manifest as irritability, agitation, or apathy, among other symptoms [7 ,12 ].

Studies have shown that individuals with certain neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric disorders, such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and borderline personality disorder (BPD), tend to have higher emotional reactivity and may experience more intense emotional responses compared to neurotypical individuals.

For example, individuals with ASD may experience strong emotional reactions to sensory stimuli or changes in routine, while those with BPD may have intense and unstable emotions in response to perceived rejection or abandonment. In contrast, individuals with conditions such as depression or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) may have lower emotional reactivity and may experience blunted or numbed emotional responses [4 ,5 ].

Overall, the link between emotional reactivity and intensity is complex and can vary depending on individual factors and the specific disorder in question. It is also important to note that emotional reactivity is a complex phenomenon that can be influenced by many factors, including genetics, environment, and individual differences. Therefore, it is difficult to make generalizations about emotional reactivity in individuals with neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders without considering the circumstances, specific characteristics of each disorder and individual case [6 ,9 ,17 ].

Cook’s Call for Research

Prudential personalism is a philosophical approach that emphasizes the dignity and value of the human person, and considers the ethical implications of human action on the basis of its effects on the person. This perspective is important for understanding emotional intensity and reactivity because it recognizes that emotions are an important aspect of human experience and well-being, and that they have an impact on how people think, act, and relate to others.

Prudential personalism holds that individuals have a responsibility to act in ways that promote their own well-being and that of others, and that emotions can play an important role in achieving these goals. By understanding the effects of emotional intensity and reactivity on personal well-being and interpersonal relationships, individuals can make informed decisions about how to manage their emotions in ways that promote prudential personalism. In short, prudential personalism helps individuals to recognize the ethical dimensions of emotional experience, and to act in ways that promote their own well-being and that of others. It can be a useful perspective for understanding the complex relationship between emotion intensity, reactivity, and personal and social well-being [7 ,3 ].

Research is needed on prudential personalism since it is a philosophical approach that emphasizes the dignity and value of the human person such in the brain mechanism and its functions of the RAS (Rectangular Activation System) and understanding wickedness [a ]. God's personal nature, promises, character, and principles: to save (religious) — The Helper who delivers us from sin (and consequential judgment) or save from evil. God's character and attributes (relational nature) include honor, wisdom, love, justice, compassion. RAS regulates arousal, sleep-awakeness and attention. God's personal nature, promises, character, and principles. Let's take a closer look at each theme in the Bible: J- pray with Joy! The (4) the number 4 is often associated with creation, completeness, authority, and redemption. Note: When the RAS becomes less active in symptoms such as excessive daytime sleepiness, difficulty concentrating, memory problems, and decreased motivation.? In more severe cases, it can even lead to coma or a persistent vegetative state [13 ].?

Research is also needed on prudential personalism which holds that individuals have a responsibility to act in ways that promote their own well-being and that of others, and that emotions can play an important role in achieving these goals PONS and understanding service [b ]. God's qualities and character (subjective nature) include reverence for God and a desire to live according to His will in grace, goodness, and provision. For He who is the deliverer —is The Counselor, who delivers us from pain, suffering, hardship, or death. The Pons regulates sleep and arousal, as well as various other autonomic functions such as respiration, swallowing, and facial expressions. The PONS may become less active, leading to disruptions in sleep, appetite, and other bodily functions. God's attributes, actions, power, values, and virtues. Let's take a closer look at each theme in the Bible: G- worship with Gladness! The number (5) in the Bible, it’s God's grace, goodness, and provision, as well as His instructions for His people. Note: When the Pons becomes less active, it can lead to disruptions in various functions such as sleep, respiration, swallowing, and bladder control. This can result in symptoms such as sleep apnea, difficulty breathing, trouble swallowing, and incontinence. In severe cases, it can lead to coma or even death. A decrease in Pons activity can be caused by various factors such as brainstem stroke, trauma, or neurodegenerative disorders or medication side effects [15 ].

As well as research into the ways that promote prudential personalism, and the thymus for? understanding the effects of emotional intensity and reactivity on personal well-being and interpersonal relationships, individuals can make informed decisions about how to manage their emotions and understanding His words [c ]. God's nature and values include harmony, faith, and? peace. Christians believe that God is just and righteous, and that His values and teachings are essential for living a fulfilling and purposeful life deliverance — The Intercessor who is recovery or preservation?from loss or danger, whether physical or spiritual. God's nature, character, and relationship? with humanity: forgiveness, redemption, love, nature and values, character and qualities,? hope, and blessings. Let's take a closer look at each theme in the Bible: T- praise with Thanksgiving! The number (7) is completeness, perfection, or divine fulfillment. When the thymus becomes less active, it can lead to disruptions in the immune system and a decrease in the production of T cells, which are important for fighting infections and cancer. This can result in increased susceptibility to infections, decreased ability to fight cancer cells, and autoimmune disorders. In addition, a decrease in thymus activity has been linked to aging and age-related diseases. Some possible disruptions that can occur when the thymus becomes less active include increased susceptibility to infection, decreased ability to fight cancer cells, autoimmune disorders, and aging-related diseases [8 ,2 ,14 ].?

Lastly, prudential personalism helps individuals to recognize the ethical dimensions of emotional experience, and to act in ways that promote their own well-being and that of others. Research into the supernatural dimensions and spiritual perspectives for understanding the complex relationship between emotion intensity, reactivity, and personal and social well-being. The study into mechanisms and functions of the ARAS (Ascending Reticular Activating System)? which is understanding every good thing and God’s complete being or essence (see RAS) and understanding His word [d ]. The ARAS to be saved (spiritually) — to be delivered from sin or saved from evil. For salvation (spiritual) is from The Advocate, who acts on our behalf of delivering from sin or saving from evil. The ARAS is a neural network in the brain that is involved in the processing of sensory information, including the interpretation of complex stimuli and the regulation of attention and arousal (see RAS). The ARAS can activate various regions of the brain and nervous system, leading to changes in physiological and psychological responses to emotional and desirable stimuli. The ascending reticular activating system (ARAS) on the cerebral cortex is responsible for achievement of consciousness in particular, and plays a crucial role in regulating wakefulness and consciousness. It can be activated by emotional stimuli that are perceived as intense, relevant, or salient. ARAS can activate the Ras, leading to heightened levels of alertness and attention. However, this can also have negative effects, such as causing distraction and leading to a focus on desires away from God. ARAS can have a significant impact on both the body and the mind, affecting various systems and functions. The ARAS includes the other regions of the brain (see above) that are affected by ARAS including the Ras, ACC, sympathetic nervous system, and Pons, HPA axis, parasympathetic nervous system, ARAS, thymus, gut, and thalamus.

Let's take a closer look at each theme in the Bible: H- set apart with Holiness, when the Anterior Reticular Activating System (ARAS) becomes less active, it can lead to disruptions in emotional regulation, motivation, and goal-directed behavior. This can result in symptoms such as apathy, decreased social interaction, and reduced interest in activities that were previously enjoyed. In more severe cases, it can even lead to depression, lethargy, and a lack of purpose or meaning in life. A decrease in ARAS activity can be caused by various factors, such as brain injury, neurodegenerative disorders, or medication side effects [Retrieved from PR-Https://Www.urmc.rochester.edu/MediaLibraries/URMCMedia/Education/Graduate-Medical-Education/Prospective-Residents/Physical-Medicine-Rehabilitation/Images/2022-2023-Handbook.pdf] .
