How to Control Impulses? Self-Science and SOCS Methods

This article explores the concept of emotional competence as a necessary 'alphabet of affect' that allows us to structure our inner experiences. The author argues that contemporary education should place the same emphasis on emotion regulation as it does on science, because IQ without self-regulation systems is ineffective. The article introduces practical methodologies such as Self Science, the semaphore method, and SOCS, which teach students to recognize subtle variations in emotional states and build psychological resilience. These tools enable them to manage impulsivity and make responsible decisions in conflict situations and during the learning process.
