Study Notes

Tripartite Composition of the Self

Individual Self: Highlights a person’s unique subjective experiences.
Relational Self: Emphasizes emotional bonds and attachments between individuals.
Collective Self: Represents a person’s perspective regarding social groups and others.

Thoughts

Encompasses various mental activities such as wishes, hopes, plans, predictions, judgments, and memories.
Can be expressed through words, images, speech, or even sensory experiences such as smells.

Two Thinking Systems by Daniel Kahneman

System 1: Fast, automatic decision-making process; operates intuitively without much effort.
System 2: Deliberate, effortful thinking; requires attention and time for careful consideration.

Emotions

Defined as conscious mental reactions that occur in response to specific stimuli or events.

Dr. Paul Ekman: 7 Types of Emotions

Neutral
Anger
Disgust
Fear
Joy
Sadness
Surprise

Bio-Ecological Perspective of the Self

Dr. Urie Bronfenbrenner: Renowned American psychologist known for his Ecological Systems Theory.

Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Systems Theory

Microsystem: Immediate environment with direct influences on an individual.
Mesosystem: Interaction between multiple microsystems.
Exosystem: External environmental settings that indirectly affect the individual.
Macrosystem: Broad societal and cultural influences experienced by individuals.
Chronosystem: Changes and transitions occurring over time affecting the individual.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Central theme: Individual perceptions of events significantly shape emotions and behaviors, beyond the events themselves.

Cognitive Distortions

Misguided thought patterns leading to negative feelings and behaviors, frequently seen in psychological disorders.

Types of Cognitive Distortions

Magnification and Minimization: Overemphasizing negatives while downplaying positives.
Arbitrary Inferences: Making conclusions without evidence (e.g., catastrophizing or mind reading).
"Should" Statements: Imposing rigid expectations rather than accepting reality.
Personalization: Attributing blame to oneself for negative outcomes beyond their control.

Emotions and Their Features

Antecedent Condition/Activating Event: Situations that trigger emotional responses.
Cognitive Appraisal/Beliefs: Internal thought processes and beliefs influencing emotional responses.
Emotional Expressions/Consequence: Observable feelings, moods, and emotional states resulting from the above factors.

Theories of Emotions

James-Lange Theory: Emotions arise from physiological responses; individuals feel emotions due to bodily reactions.
Cannon-Bard Theory: Emotions and physical responses happen simultaneously and independently of each other.
Schachter-Singer Theory: Emotions result from both physiological arousal and cognitive interpretation of the situation.
