Emotional Intelligence Quiz

Understanding Emotions: Theories, Components, and Neural Basis

• Emotions are a combination of physiological experience and awareness of a feeling, and six emotions are universally recognized.
• The James-Lange peripheral theory suggests that early autonomic responses result in an emotional experience, and our facial expressions might affect the way we feel.
• The Stanislavski method cultivates the "art of experiencing" to activate psychological processes indirectly, such as emotional experience and subconscious behavior.
• The Cannon-Bard theory proposes that both the subjective and physical responses occur simultaneously and independently, and the location of spinal lesions can determine the intensity of emotions.
• The Schachter-Singer theory assumes that a stimulus first produces general arousal, and arousal might lead to several interpretations based on cognitive appraisal.
• The limbic system processes emotions involving the hypothalamus, hippocampus, and amygdala, and emotions are brain functions that evolved to ensure survival.
• The contemporary theory of emotion involves the somatosensory cortex, ventromedial prefrontal cortex, and autonomic nervous system and can manage approach and withdrawal behaviors.
• The Yerkes-Dodson law suggests that emotions contribute to general arousal and predict performance for simple or well-learned tasks.
• Emotional expression has a strong biological basis, and the basic-emotion approach and constructionist theories have been pitted against each other for more than a century.
• The amygdala plays a crucial role in the interpretation of emotional stimuli, and different parts of the amygdala participate in a variety of processes, including emotion, reward, motivation, learning, memory, and attention.
• Damage to the primary motor cortex affects voluntary facial expressions, while Parkinson’s disease affects spontaneous expressions.
• Facial blends of emotion are compound entities, and body kinematics, gaze-related information, and contextual cues are critical cues in guiding motor behavior.
