EMOTIONS

complex psycho/physiological experience that involves physiological arousal, expressive behaviors, and conscious understanding.

EMOTIONS

guides us in facing predicaments and tasks too important to leave to intellect alone.

Preparing us for action

a link between external events and behavioral responses

shaping our future behavior

acts as reinforcement

helps to regulate social interaction

allows observers to better understand us

Components of Emotions

physiological Component (Biological Component)

Behavioral Component

Cognitive Component

Biological Component: Physiological Arousal

involves a state of AROUSAL

It involves the limbic system and the Autonomic nervous system.

SYMPATHETIC

sends signals to the adrenal gland in order to prepare the body to act/react following an emotion-evoking event

SYMPATHETIC

Vital signs ELEVATED:

Increase in heart rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure, & blood sugar levels. Slower digestive processes and pupil dilation.

PARASYMPATHETIC

keeps the body from expending energy.

autonomic responses are frequently used by researchers in measuring emotions.

EMOTIONAL HIJACKING

an individual's cognitions are overpowered by their emotions.

EMOTIONAL HIJACKING

referred to in the context of aggression/fearfulness.

EMOTIONAL HIJACKING

center in the limbic system (amygdala) the seat of all emotions in the brain, takes over the neocortex.

EMOTIONAL HIJACKING

the amygdala gets triggered, and in an instant takes control of the brain, in a sense hijacking it

amygdala

the seat of all emotions in the brain

CANNON-BARD THEORY

the experience of emotion is a physiological

CANNON-BARD THEORY

response of the THALAMIC region of the brain

CANNON-BARD THEORY

the emotional states occur at the same time in response to the event

CANNON-BARD THEORY

We are sad because there are tears in our eyes

JAMES-LANGE THEORY

Emotions are our interpretation of the accompanying physiological reactions

JAMES-LANGE THEORY

Physiological reactions precede emotional states

JAMES-LANGE THEORY

Ex. When we are experiencing cold feet and heart rate increases, we say we are afraid.

JAMES-LANGE THEORY

Event→Arousal→ Interpretation→Emotion

TWO FACTOR THEORY

the experience of emotion depends on two factors:

1. PHYSIOLOGICAL AROUSAL

2. INTERPRETATION OF THAT AROUSAL

TWO FACTOR THEORY

a person uses the environment to search for emotional cues to label the physiological arousa

TWO FACTOR THEORY

you and your brother are fighting, you may label the physiological arousal as anger. But if two of your classmates are arguing, you may label it as excitement.

TWO FACTOR THEORY

imsinterpretation can happen if based solely on the body’s physiological state

TWO FACTOR THEORY

Event→Arousal→CognitiveLevels→Emotion

Behavioral Component: Emotional Expression

every emotion finds a way to be expressed

Behavioral Component: Emotional Expression

people recognize how we feel through FACIAL EXPRESSIONS

Behavioral Component: Emotional Expression

is universal

However it can be MISLEADING, EXAGGERATED or MINIMIZED

Facial expressions allow people to quickly judge someone’s hostility or friendliness.

It also allows us to communicate our intentions to others

BASIC TYPES OF EMOTIONS

1. Anger

2. Fear

3. Sadness

4. Disgust

5. Surprise

6. Anticipation

7. Trust

8. Joy

SECONDARY TYPES OF EMOTIONS

emotions are emotional reactions we have to other emotions.

SECONDARY TYPES OF EMOTIONS

ex. A person may feel ashamed as a result of feeling anxious or sad

FACIAL-FEEDBACK THEORY

emotion is the experience of changes in our facial muscles.

emotion

the experience of changes in our facial muscles.

facial expression

are not only the results of our EMOTIONS but are also capable of influencing our emotions

FACIAL-FEEDBACK THEORY

holds that facial movements and expressions can influence attitude and emotional experience.

Ex: When a person attends a function and is required to smile, they will actually have a better experience.

Changes in our facial muscles cue our brains and provide the basis of our emotions

Ex: You are walking down a dark alley late at night. You hear footsteps behind you - your eyes widen, your teeth clench and your brain interprets these facial changes as the expression of fear

MACROEXPRESSIONS

typically last between 0.5 to 4 seconds and involve the whole face.

These do not intend to hide and occur whenever we are alone or with family and close friends

MICROEXPRESSIONS

Expressions that go on and off the face in a fraction of a second as fast as 1/30 of a second.

COGNITIVE COMPONENT: Subjective Labeling

an experience of EMOTION depends on the manner one appraises or evaluates an event.

LAZARUS THEORY

TWO KINDS OF APPRAISAL:

1. PRIMARY

2. SECONDARY

PRIMARY

How can the situation benefit us?
