Study Notes

Personal Development - First Quarter Reviewer - Lesson 1: Emotions and Emotional Intelligence

Emotions are a complex psychophysiological experience, involving physiological arousal, expressive behaviors, and conscious understanding.
Emotions guide us in facing predicaments and tasks, complementing intellect.
Each emotion has a distinct readiness to act, helping us handle recurring life challenges.
Emotions prepare us for action, shape future behavior, regulate social interaction, and serve social functions.

Physiological Component (Biological Component)

The reticular activating system initiates arousal, helping interpret sensory information and emotions.
The sympathetic nervous system prepares the body for action by increasing vital signs (heart rate, respiration, blood pressure).
The parasympathetic nervous system conserves energy by slowing down the body's functions.
Arousal and emotions occur simultaneously (Cannon-Bard Theory)
Emotions are interpretations of arousal, then the emotion happens (James-Lange Theory).
Physiological arousal and the interpretation of that arousal determine the experience of an emotion (Schachter and Singer Theory)

Theories of Emotion - Behavioral Component

Emotions are expressed through facial expressions, which are universal and can also influence emotions.
Facial expressions are tied to emotions, often communicating them accurately or not.
Facial feedback theory suggests that facial expressions can influence our emotions.

Theories of Emotion - Cognitive Component

The experience of emotions depends on how we evaluate an event.
Subjective labeling suggests that our emotions depend on the appraisal of an event.
