摘要: Abstract Engagement, motivation, and persistence are usually associated with positive outcomes. However, too much of it can overtax our psychophysiological system put at risk. On the basis a neuro-dynamic personality self-regulation model, we explain neurobehavioral mechanisms presumably underlying engagement how engagement, when overtaxing individual, becomes automatically inhibited for reasons protection. We different intensities patterns may relate to traits such as Self-directedness, Conscientiousness, Drive Reward, Absorption, which conceive functions or strategies adaptive systems. describe protective inhibitions contribute phenomena disengagement increased effort-sense in chronic fatigue conditions, often affect professions involving high socio-emotional interactions. By doing so adduce evidence on hemispheric asymmetry neuromodulation by dopamine, self-determination, task physiological disengagement. Not least, discuss educational implications model.
