emotions when they become adult, it states that;

Researchers found that test subject who had lower family incomes at age 9 exhibited,

as adults, greater activity in the amygdala, an area in the brain known for its role in fear

and other negative emotions. These individuals showed less activity in areas of the

prefrontal cortex, an area in the brain thought to regulate negative emotion,

What that means is that a person who experienced chronic stress from childhood to

adolescence may be less capable of suppressing negative emotions such as fear.

This theory helped the study to know what causes the people why they still suffered

poverty and it also helped the study knowing the fact that negative emotion can affect

the children’s future and less capable of overcoming.

G.6 Statistical Treatment

H. Discuss the results of the study and how do these finding solve the problem?

Based on the evidence gathered from multiple reliable sources, we can make the

following defensible conclusions:

1. Filipinos are poor not because they have an “obsession with happiness.” In fact, there

is no evidence that suggests that “contentment” can cause poverty. Through inferences

made from reading the evidence, we can say that it’s possible that many Filipinos are
poor simply because they are born poor. Their experiences of poverty in the crucial

years of their mental development negatively affected their capacity to learn and their

ability to regulate negative emotions – factors that may impede their economic progress

as adults. Furthermore, poverty itself impedes their cognitive function, making them

prone to bad decisions that could worsen their situation.

2. Some poor Filipinos are happy not because they have a loser mentality. Some poor

Filipinos are happy simply because nothing is preventing them from feeling otherwise.

Although depression is twice as common among the poor, poor people who don’t have

depression are not much less happy than rich people themselves. In fact, a study

suggests that, “one’s life circumstances, unless they are very bad indeed, do not seem

to have lasting effects on one’s mood,” implying that there are genetic factors to be

considered when measuring a person’s capacity for happiness.

3. Happiness has a tendency to increase a person’s productivity and make him work

harder. If a person thinks that the problem of poverty is due to a poor person’s lack of

productivity, the scientifically correct thing to do is to help them recover their self-esteem

and encourage them to be happy, to improve their cognitive function and increase their

productivity. In any case, one should not call poor people losers, because by doing so

will only reinforce the psychological barriers that impede their cognitive functioning.

Poverty is a mindset. It is not so much about not having food, clothing and shelter but a

debilitating hopelessness to improve one’s financial condition. And he finds it alarming

that more than half of our countrymen are in this situation because he knew how

powerful the mind is: Whether you think you can or you cannot, you are right!
So what’s the harsh truth about poverty? It is a mindset as much as a reality. That is,

many people feel that they are poor and in need of money without knowing that they

already have what they need. Such is the state of sheer mendicant mindset.

These finding solved the problem by explaining that mindset is the root of the poverty.

We people can’t deny the poverty. Based on the research most of them are still in dire in

poverty because of having a mindset of being unable to success and overcome their

lifestyle. Most of the poor people are depressed for such a having unfair life. We can

say that mindset is very dangerous that makes person suffers in a ways. It is in the

thinking and believing that nothing else can be done for one to prosper and have a good

life. It is about thinking only of the self and believing only for the self when one has too

much of anything and not sharing the ‘extras’ to those who are lacking. It is what we all

nurture in our “mind” that causes poverty and not the government or anybody else.
