    Study Notes

    Emotion

    • Emotion is a complex state with three components: physiological arousal (bodily changes), expressive behaviors (outward displays), and conscious experience (feelings and thoughts).
    • James-Lange theory: Emotion is a consequence of physiological responses. (e.g., heart racing causes fear).
    • Cannon-Bard theory: Physiological responses and emotional experience occur simultaneously and independently. (e.g., heart races and fear are felt at the same time).
    • Emotions are embodied, grounded in bodily sensations and responses.
    • The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is crucial for emotional physiological changes.
      • Sympathetic division: Mobilizes the body for action (fight-or-flight).
      • Parasympathetic division: Calms the body after threat.
    • Lie detection techniques (e.g., polygraphs) assume lying correlates with arousal, but are not foolproof, as other factors (anxiety, stress) can trigger similar responses.
    • Emotional detection is highly skilled, present from infancy, suggesting a biological basis.
    • Women generally excel at recognizing and expressing emotional cues, possibly due to cultural expectations, socialization, or biological factors.
    • Cultural norms affect emotional expression and interpretation; some facial expressions are universally recognized.
    • Facial feedback effect: facial expressions can influence emotional experiences (e.g., smiling can make you happier).

    Stress and Health

    • Stress is the response to perceived threats or challenges.
    • Stressors range from major events to daily hassles.
    • Individual appraisal and coping resources influence the response to stress.
    • Prolonged stress negatively impacts both physical and mental health, weakening the immune system and increasing vulnerability to chronic diseases like heart disease, stroke, and cancer.
    • Correlation does not equal causation; other factors can contribute to both stress and illness.

    Social Psychology

    • Social psychology explores how people think, influence, and relate to each other.
    • Fundamental Attribution Error: Overestimating personality and underestimating situational influences when explaining others' behavior.
    • Attitudes are feelings predisposing responses to stimuli, influencing behavior, though the relationship is complex.
    • Persuasion involves attempts to change attitudes and behaviors, using central (logical) or peripheral (emotional) routes.
    • Conformity is adjusting behavior to match group standards. (Asch's studies).
    • Obedience is complying with direct commands, especially from authority figures. (Milgram experiments).

    Personality

    • Personality is a unique pattern of thinking, feeling, and acting.
    • Psychodynamic theories (Freud): Personality is influenced by unconscious motives and conflicts (id, ego, superego).
    • Humanistic theories (Rogers, Maslow): Focus on human potential for personal growth (self-actualization).
    • Trait theories: Describe personality through stable traits (extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, etc.).
    • Social-cognitive theories: Emphasize the interaction between traits and social context in shaping behavior.

    Psychological Disorders

    • Psychological disorders are characterized by clinically significant disturbances in cognition, emotion regulation, or behavior, typically associated with distress or disability.
    • DSM-5 is the primary classification system for psychological disorders.
    • Biopsychosocial approach: Psychological disorders are influenced by biological, psychological, and social-cultural factors.
    • Anxiety disorders: Characterized by excessive anxiety and fear.
    • Depressive disorders: Marked by persistent sadness and loss of interest.
    • Bipolar disorders: Characterized by mood swings between depression and mania.
    • Schizophrenia spectrum disorders: Disturbances in thought, emotion, and behavior.

    Therapy

    • Therapy offers evidence-based strategies to address mental health concerns and improve well-being.
    • Types of therapy: Psychotherapy (talk therapy), psychodynamic, humanistic, cognitive, behavioral, CBT, biomedical.
    • Biomedical therapy involves medication (antidepressants, anti-anxiety, mood stabilizers, antipsychotics).
    • Other approaches: Group, family, mindfulness-based therapies, and lifestyle changes.
    • Evaluating therapy emphasizes evidence-based practice and considering ethical considerations (informed consent, confidentiality, bias).

    Important Individuals and Studies

    • William James: Proposed the James-Lange theory of emotion.
    • Walter Cannon: Disagreed with the James-Lange theory, proposing the Cannon-Bard theory.
    • Stanley Schachter and Jerome Singer: Developed the two-factor theory of emotion.
    • Philip Zimbardo: Conducted the Stanford Prison Experiment.
    • Solomon Asch: Conducted conformity experiments.
    • Stanley Milgram: Conducted obedience experiments.
    • Sigmund Freud: Developed psychoanalytic theory.
    • Carl Rogers and Abraham Maslow: Associated with humanistic approaches.
    • Aaron Beck: Known for cognitive theory of depression.
    • David Rosenhan: Conducted a study on psychiatric diagnosis.
    • Albert Bandura: Developed social learning theory.
    • Gordon Allport: Developed trait theory.
    • Hans Selye: Developed the General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS) which describes the body's response to stress.
    • Paul Ekman: Studied the universality of facial expressions of emotion.
    • Leon Festinger: Developed the theory of cognitive dissonance.
    • Muzafer Sherif: Conducted Robbers Cave experiments.
    • Albert Ellis: Developed Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT).
    • Marsha Linehan: Developed Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).
    • Kenneth and Mamie Phipps Clark: Their research on racial prejudice contributed to the Brown v. Board of Education decision.
