A Proposal of Wisdom Related Intervention for the Adolescent Impulsivity
Subscribe/Renew Journal
One of the impediments to wise thinking and behaviors is the issue of impulsivity among adolescents. The aftermath of impulsive behaviors can be remedied by incorporating wisdom enhancing exercises. In this paper, first we review differences between wisdom related behaviors and impulsive behaviors. We then propose an intervention strategy to counteract the issue of impulsivity. Prototype implementation strategies of channelizing impulsive adolescent's sensation seeking tendencies, self-regulation, emotional regulation, altering reward expectations, dealing with conflicts, learning from elderly and wise adults, training in reflective thinking, balancing the needs of oneself and others are explored in this paper. Developing an understanding of these strategies and their relationship with wisdom and impulsivity provides a basis for the creation of more extensive wisdom-generating opportunities for impulsive adolescents. Further studies must be conducted in order to gather empirical evidence and validate this intervention program.
