Study Notes
Main Components of Emotions
- Emotions consist of physiological responses, subjective feelings, and expressive behaviors.
James-Lange Theory
- Emotional experience arises from physiological arousal; individuals interpret bodily responses to feel emotions.
Cannon-Bard Theory
- Asserts that emotional stimuli trigger simultaneous physiological responses and the experience of emotions, opposing the sequential nature of the James-Lange theory.
Schaffer and Singer's Two-Factor Theory
- Emotions are experienced through a combination of physiological arousal and cognitive labeling; context plays a crucial role in determining the emotion felt.
High Road vs. Low Road in Emotional Processing
- The 'high road' involves a slower, more complex processing path through the thalamus and cortical areas, allowing for thoughtful consideration of emotional stimuli.
- The 'low road' is a quick, direct pathway to the amygdala, leading to immediate emotional responses without conscious thought.
Fear and Joy Physiological Indicators
- Fear is associated with increased heart rate, sweating, and heightened alertness; the body prepares for fight-or-flight responses.
- Joy is linked to a calm heart rate and physical relaxation; it promotes feelings of well-being and social connection.
