This article examines the psychological significance of emotions in Ali Ibn Sina's teaching and interprets his ideas through the problem of personal activity efficiency. The study argues that Ibn Sina did not treat emotions as accidental disturbances, but as psychophysiological states that connect perception, imagination, bodily reactions, rational judgment and moral self-regulation. On this basis, the article identifies the conditions under which emotions may either increase or reduce the effectiveness of learning, professional action and social behavior. The research uses historical-philosophical analysis, comparative interpretation and conceptual modeling. The results show that Ibn Sina's doctrine of the soul provides an early integrative framework for understanding the unity of cognition, affect, motivation and bodily functioning. A conceptual model is proposed to explain how moderate, meaningful and rationally regulated emotional states support attention, will, endurance and decision-making. The article also outlines practical implications for education and psychological counselling.
