Unit 10 Emotions and Motivations :)

List five stages of emotion regulation

1. Situation Selection

2. Situation Modification

3. Attention deployment

4. Cognitive change

5. Response modulation

Problem focused coping

Managing the stressor itself, leaving a stressful job, improve time management, setting boundaries. Best when we can actually do something about the stressor.

Emotion-focused coping

Managing our emotional reactions, meditating, going on a walk, best when stressor is out of our control.

Changing situations before they have based on the emotion we expect to experience

Explain situation modification

We alter the situation in some way to alter emotions (asking no politics talk @Thanksgiving)

Attention deployment

We shift our attention from or to an emotion, distract from thinking about test-result

Explain cognition change

Changing about how we think about a situation, growth mindset

Explain response modulation

Try to mitigate the effects of an emotion after we experience them…deep breaths, lift weighs, drugs/alcohol

Define HPA axis

A physiological response to stressors involving interactions among

H: Hypothalamus

P: Pituitary gland

A: adrenal glands

Explain the general adaptation syndrome (GAS)

The distinct phases of physiological change that occur in response to long-term stress.

Give the textbook defition of PTSD

A disorder characterized by hypervigilance, avoidance of the triggering event, and repeatedly thinking about the vent.

Define affect in context of emotion

Affect: Experience of feeling or emotion

Arousal in terms of emotion

Our experiences of the bodily responses created by sympathetic division of autonomic NS

Low arousal = relaxed, calm

High = alert, energized

What is Ghetin

Hormone the stomach releases as it empties and travels to the hypothalamus

• you have the lower ghetin about 30-60 min after eating

What is leptin

Hormone produced & stored by fat cells lose weight decrease leptin, feel hungry

Basal metabolic rate

Amount of energy expended while at rest

Bulimia nervousa vs anorexia nervosa

BN: binge eating followed by purging

AN: sig. reduction in food intake

Misattribution of arousal

Tendency for ppl to incorrectly source of the physiological arousal, love, hate, or both?

Three stress stages

1. General Alarm rxn, first rxn to stress, stress hormones like cortisol are released

2. Resistance, after period of chronic stress, body adapts and tries to return to normal func glucose increases to sustain energy and BP increases

3. Exhaustion, body has run out of energy, blood sugar decreases

Social readjustment rating scale

Events you experienced in the past 12 months get allocated different pt values
