Spanish term

estimación correcta

Spanish to English Social Sciences Psychology
"Según expertos, la estimación correcta se refiere a la capacidad que tiene una persona para escuchar una opinión diferente, tomar decisiones justas, defender su posición, y mide hasta qué punto la persona es crítica y le gusta tener la razón ante los demás."
From this Columbian article: https://www.eluniversal.com.co/salud/le-gusta-tener-la-razon...

Thanks for your comments. I'm not translating the whole text, just a sentence of it, so a term which captures the meaning well will do.
Althea Draper Aug 6, 2021:
It sounds a bit like they are talking about a person's social intelligence but if so, it's definitions aren't very well described. The expert quoted isn't a psychologist, but the CEO of what looks to be a management consultancy group. So, I wouldn't look for a specific psychological term but a management speak one.
philgoddard Aug 5, 2021:
I'm suspicious of this, because all the hits for the phrase appear to come from one source, which has been copied from one site to another. It looks like fake psychology, and the definitions it gives don't make a lot of sense.

Sound assesment

Sound assesment is the term I would go for, but not sure if this is an actual term used by psychologists. Hope its useful

constructive appraisal

My first 'estimation' - pace Phil G. - have been the non-fake cognitive appraisal theory, per Magda Arnold and Richard Lazarus, amongst others.
Example sentence:

Appraisal theory is the theory in psychology that emotions are extracted from our evaluations (appraisals or estimates) of events that cause specific reactions in different people.

experiments that support the view that constructive appraisal can be automatic.
