    Study Notes

    Conscious Emotion vs. Automatic Affect

    • Conscious emotion is a strong, unified feeling experienced at a conscious level.
    • Automatic affect is a liking or disliking of something, often occurring outside of conscious awareness.
    • Automatic affect is a rapid, initial evaluation of something as good or bad, happening within milliseconds.
    • Conscious emotion, in contrast, develops more slowly.
    • Both conscious emotion and automatic affect are vital for human experiences and decision-making.

    Emotional Arousal

    • Emotions involve both mental and physical aspects.
    • Emotional states can be induced or triggered by physical events or chemical changes in the body.
    • Emotional arousal is typically categorized as good or bad, and it's difficult to convert one type into the other.

    Emotional Connections & Relationships

    • Positive feelings often result from healthy relationships, while negative emotions frequently stem from damaged relationships.
    • Maintaining strong social connections can be crucial for overall well-being and emotional stability.

    Emotions Impacting Decisions

    • Emotions play a vital role in decision-making, both positively and negatively.
    • Emotions can help guide decisions by highlighting good and bad outcomes.
    • Strong emotions, particularly negative ones, can skew decision-making and lead to risky or harmful choices.
    • The risk-as-feelings hypothesis suggests that people rely on their emotional reactions to assess risk.

    Gender and Emotional Expression

    • Social norms often pressure men to suppress emotional expression.
    • Women tend to be more willing to openly express emotions, potentially leading to the perception of greater female emotionality.
    • Men may actually experience emotions as intensely as women, but they may be less likely to acknowledge or express them.
    • The difference in emotional expression between genders may be influenced by social expectations rather than inherent differences.
