Study Notes
- Feeling insecurely attached to others during childhood can persist into adulthood in two main forms, anxiety and avoidance.
- Anxiety involves constantly craving acceptance while being vigilant to signs of possible rejection.
- Avoidance entails feeling such discomfort over getting close to others that avoidant strategies are used to maintain distance.
- The best and worst moments in life often happen when close relationships either begin or end.
- Bereavement can lead to feelings of emptiness and overeating to compensate.
- The need to belong pushes individuals to form new social connections.
- Immigrants and refugees moving alone to new places can experience depression due to stress and loneliness.
- Chain migration has been shown to ease adjustment for immigrants and refugees.
- Social isolation can increase the risk of mental decline and ill health.
- Increased feelings of acceptance and connection correlate with increased self-esteem, positive feelings, and physical health.
The Pain of Being Shut Out
- Ostracism is deliberate social exclusion of individuals or groups.
- Humans use ostracism to punish and control social behavior.
- Ostracism threatens the need to belong.
- Reactions to ostracism include efforts to restore acceptance, depressed moods, and withdrawal.
- Ostracism elicits increased activity in brain areas also responding to physical pain, such as the anterior cingulate cortex.
- Acetaminophen, a pain reliever, lessens social as well as physical pain.
- Rejected individuals may relieve stress by seeking new friends, eating comfort foods, or strengthening their religious faith.
- Ostracism breeds disagreeableness, leading to further ostracism.
- Students who were excluded in experiments were more likely to engage in self-defeating behaviors and act aggressively.
- Ostracism can be a factor in cases of school violence.
Connecting and Social Networking
- Happiness is love and connection with others.
- Humans connect through talking, tweeting, texting, posting, chatting, social gaming, and e-mailing.
- Internet connects like-minded people, amplifies social connection, provides information, and offers supportive connections.
- The Internet enables sharing experiences and comparing lives, but can be depressing if one garners few likes or has bragging friends.
- The Internet functions as an online matchmaker.
- Online networking is double-edged: it can help connect with friends and family, but can also decrease real-world interactions.
- Moderate social networking predicts longer life.
- Communicating electronically can lead to increased self-disclosure, deepening friendships, but can be taken to extreme such as bullying.
- Narcissism is self-esteem gone wild, characterized by self-importance, self-focus, and self-promotion.
- Narcissists are active on social networking sites, collect superficial friends, offer staged photos, and retaliate against negative comments.
- Social networking sites can be a feeding trough for narcissists.
Maintaining Balance and Focus
- Excessive online socializing and gaming correlate with lower grades, increased anxiety, and depression.
- Monitor time spent online to align with priorities and prevent interference with school, work, or relationships.
- Monitor feelings and emotional distractions related to online interests.
- Practice the golden rule when posting online.
- Resist the temptation to always be available when studying or working.
- Disable sound alerts, vibration, and pop-ups to avoid distraction.
- Reduce stress by checking email less often.
- Refocus by taking a nature walk to refresh capacity for focused attention.
- Develop strategies of self-control to manage technology temptation.
Achievement Motivation
- Achievement motivation is a desire for significant accomplishment, mastery of skills, control, and attaining a high standard.
- People with high achievement motivation achieve more due to persistence and eagerness for challenge.
- Self-discipline surpasses intelligence in predicting school performance.
- Discipline focuses and refines talent.
- Passionate dedication to an ambitious, long-term goal is called grit.
- Gritty goal-striving combined with self-control produces great achievements.
- Achievement involves more than raw ability, requiring smart parenting, teaching, and managing intrinsic motivations.
Strategies for Achieving Goals
- Challenging goals motivate achievement.
- Announce goals to friends or family for public commitment.
- Develop an implementation plan specifying when, where, and how to progress toward the goal.
- Create short-term rewards that support long-term goals.
- Monitor and record progress, displaying it publicly when possible.
- Create a supportive environment for success.
- Transform hard-to-do behavior into a must-do habit through repetition in a given context.
Review of affiliation need
- Our need to affiliate (belong) had survival value for our ancestors, which may explain why humans in every society live in groups.
- Social bonds help us to be healthier and happier.
- Feeling loved activates brain regions associated with reward and safety systems.
- Ostracism is the deliberate exclusion of individuals or groups.
- People respond to ostracism by restoring their acceptance, with depressed moods, and finally with withdrawal.
- Social isolation can put us at risk mentally and physically.
- People suffer when socially excluded, and they may engage in self-defeating or antisocial behaviours.
- You need to know the defintion of ostracism.
Review of social networking
- We connect with others through social networking, strengthening our relationships with those we already know.
- These interactions tend towards increased self-disclosure.
- People with high narcissism are especially active on social networking sites.
- Working out strategies for self-control and disciplined use can help people maintain a healthy balance between their real-world and online time.
Review of achivement
- What is achivement and what does it mean to have a good level of motivation.
- High achievement motivation leads to greater success, especially when combined with determined, persistent grit.
Emotion: Arousal, Behavior, and Cognition
- Emotions involve bodily arousal (heart pounding), expressive behaviors (quickened pace), and conscious experience ("Is this a kidnapping?") and feelings (panic, fear, joy).
- Emotion is a response of the whole organism, involving (1) physiological arousal, (2) expressive behaviors, and (3) conscious experience.
Historical Emotion Theories
- The psychological study of emotion began with the question of how bodily responses relate to emotions.
- James-Lange Theory: Arousal Comes Before Emotion
- William James proposed that emotions result from attention to bodily activity: "We feel sorry because we cry, angry because we strike, afraid because we tremble."
- James-Lange theory states that our experience of emotion is our awareness of our physiological responses to an emotion-arousing stimulus: stimulus → arousal → emotion.
- Cannon-Bard Theory: Arousal and Emotion Occur Simultaneously
- Walter Cannon argued that bodily responses are too similar and change too slowly to cause different emotions.
- Cannon-Bard theory proposes that bodily responses and experienced emotions occur separately but simultaneously.
- The Cannon-Bard theory states that an emotion-arousing stimulus simultaneously triggers (1) physiological responses and (2) the subjective experience of emotion.
Schachter-Singer Two-Factor Theory: Arousal + Label = Emotion
- Stanley Schachter and Jerome Singer demonstrated that how we appraise (interpret) our experiences also matters.
- The two-factor theory states our physical reactions and our thoughts (perceptions, memories, and interpretations) together create emotion.
- Emotions have two ingredients: physical arousal and cognitive appraisal.
- Two-factor theory describes that an emotional experience requires a conscious interpretation of arousal.
- Arousal fuels emotion; cognition channels it.
Zajonc, LeDoux,
- Robert Zajonc believed that emotional reactions occur apart from or before conscious interpretation of a situation.
- Joseph LeDoux proposed the "low road," a neural shortcut that bypasses the cortex, enabling greased-lightning emotional responses.
- Emotions travel a "high road".
- Amygdala reactions are so fast, that we may be unaware of what’s transpired
- Some of our emotional reactions involve no deliberate thinking.
- Richard Lazarus contended that emotions arise when we appraise an event as harmless or dangerous.
Embodied Emotion
- Emotions are more about feelings than facts, meaning, some physical responses are easy to notice when we are affected by our emotions.
- The Basic Emotions
- Anger, fear, disgust, sadness, and happiness are basic human emotions.
- Carroll Izard isolated 10 basic emotions: joy, interest-excitement, surprise, sadness, anger, disgust, contempt, fear, shame, and guilt.
Emotions and the Autonomic Nervous System
- In a crisis, the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) mobilizes the body for action.
- Mobilization includes directing adrenal glands to release stress hormones, increasing blood sugar, respiration, heart rate, and blood pressure, slowing digestion, dilating pupils, and increasing perspiration.
- When the crisis passes, the parasympathetic division of the ANS calms the body.
- Do the different emotions have distinct arousal fingerprints?
The Physiology of Emotions
- Discerning physiological differences among fear, anger, and sexual arousal is difficult; emotions can share common biological signatures.
- A single brain region, such as the insula, can serve as the seat of seemingly different emotions.
- Fear and joy prompt increased heart rate but stimulate different facial muscles.
- Some emotions have distinct brain circuits.
- Negative emotions such as disgust activate the right prefrontal cortex more than the left.
- Positive moods trigger more left frontal lobe activity.
Thinking Critically About: Lie Detection
- Polygraph measures several physiological indicators of emotion.
- Polygraphs are not accurate enough to justify widespread use.
- The use of the Concealed Information Test and new forms of technology may produce better indications of lying.
Review of theories of emotion
- Theories of emotion generally address where physiological arousal comes from (before or after emotional feelings) and how cognition and feeling interact
- The James-Lange theory says that emotional feelings follow our body’s response to emotion-inducing stimuli.
- The Cannon-Bard theory says that our body responds to emotion at the same time that we experience the emotion
- The Schachter-Singer two-factor theory says that our emotions have physical arousal and a cognitive label
- Some simple emotional responses occur instantly, not only outside our conscious awareness but before any cognitive processing occurs but emotions arise from inferences.
- Some simple emotional responses occur instantly, not only outside our conscious awareness but before any cognitive processing occurs.
Review of basic emotions
- In crises, the fight-or-flight response automatically mobilizes your body for action.
- During emotion, the arousal component is regulated by the autonomic nervous system’s sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions and multiple hormones.
Review of physiological responses
- Emotions may be similarly arousing, but some subtle physiological responses, such as facial muscle movements, distinguish them.
- Meaningful differences have been found in activity in some brain pathways and cortical areas.
- Polygraphs that measure several physiological indicators of emotion, are not accurate enough to justify widespread use.
