By focusing on strength rather than limitation we're bringing sort of a more
proactive and optimistic view of our own nature and then our own lives.
So we will be like talking about the same categories in
capacity, as in characteristics.
So we have, like, obviously, physical capacity, all right?
That can be referring to like your physical strength, your like energy level,
your immunity, and like physical skills that you have.
We can also be talking about psychological capacity which would include your
intelligence, like the knowledge you have, your sense of like self-efficacy which
is a concept that you will learn more about later in this class, right.
Self-efficacy generally refers to how you feel or
believe that you are capable of like achieving or attaining your goals in life.
And we can also be talking about emotional capacity or resilience.
And we can also be talking about your social interpersonal skills.
And then the third aspect of
capacity is what I referred to as like sociocultural capacity.
It can refer to your social capital,
you know, like connections of people you know, the status you enjoy.
It can also be referring to like symbolic capital that you have you know like
your knowledge or your degrees, your credentials.
It can also be referring to your financial capacity which would
include the wealth that you own and the credit that you may have access to.
So all these, right,
added together would be your capacity.
And as I said,
your capacity is just the more positive aspects of your characteristics.
But we want you to pay more attention to it,
that is why we have taken it out and put it into this N3C formula.
