"Patience is a capacity to endure difficulties, frustrations, and suffering with some sense of calm. Perseverance, self-regulation, and judgment are components of patience. Patience can help you manage your emotions, reactions, and responses in stressful situations. While positive psychologists don't specifically name patience as one of the top 24 character strengths, it is seen as an important element of human behavior. Strengths researchers propose that patience is an amalgam of several recognized character strengths, including perseverance, self-regulation, and judgment (Niemiec, 2018; Peterson and Seligman, 2004)."
"Schnitker has described three types of patience (2010; Bulbul & Izgar, 2017): Everyday life patience, such as waiting for an appointment, sitting in the car during high traffic, and waiting for customer service at a store or on the phone. Patience during life challenges, such as illness, childcare, eldercare, or financial difficulties. Patience in interpersonal situations, such as difficult conversations or challenging relationships."
Patience is the capacity to endure difficulties, frustrations, and suffering with a calm demeanor. Patience comprises perseverance, self-regulation, and judgment and supports management of emotions, reactions, and responses in stressful situations. Evidence links patience with improved coping, greater personal well-being, and an enhanced sense of meaning in life. Recent research shows patient people worry less and experience fewer negative and more positive emotions when awaiting personally relevant news. Impatience arises from various frustrations, and strengthening patience can function as a coping strategy to manage those frustrations. Three main forms of patience are everyday waiting, patience during life challenges, and patience in interpersonal situations.
