Study Notes
Emotions
- Emotions are responses to events, often intense
- Moods lack a specific cause and are often prolonged
- Emotions vary in intensity (euphoric/joyful vs. unhappy, etc.) and valence (+/-, or neutral)
Multidimensional Emotions
- Emotions are complex with several contributing factors
- Physiological responses (e.g., body temperature changes) are part of an emotional response
- Cognitive interpretations determine how feelings are processed
- Behaviors are a result of emotions (e.g. running away, embracing)
- Social and cultural influences impact emotional expression
Emotional Expression
- Intensification: acting more intensely than you actually feel
- De-intensification: acting less intensely than you feel
- Simulation: pretending to feel something you don't
- Inhibition: suppressing feelings from being expressed
- Masking: hiding real feelings, expressing something else instead
Emotional Intelligence
- Emotional intelligence is the ability to perceive, understand, use, and manage emotions in a constructive way
- Components include
- Self-awareness (understanding personal emotions)
- Self-management (controling emotional responses)
- Social awareness (understanding and processing emotions of others)
- Relationship management ( handling emotions in relationships)
Thoughts Cause Feelings
- Emotional reappraisal: changing unproductive thoughts to change emotions
- Events do not generate emotions, but instead the meaning we give to those events generates emotions
- Thoughts can alter emotions
Silent Reflection - Rational Emotive Approach
- Reflect on the activating event, negative thoughts, and feelings
- Consider an alternative perspective of the event
- Evaluate the resulting emotion from a new way of thinking
Guidelines for Expressing Emotions
- Identifying emotions
- Choosing appropriate language to describe emotions
- Sharing multiple emotions/feelings
- Accepting responsibility for emotions
- Recognizing the difference between feeling/acting on feelings
- Choosing the best time and place to express feelings
Facilitative vs. Debilitative Emotions
- Facilitative emotions: help effective functioning (e.g., a little anger motivates you)
- Debilitative emotions: hinder performance or effectiveness (e.g., prolonged, strong anger)
Minimizing Debilitative Emotions
- Monitor emotional reactions
- Note the activating event (specific people, settings, topics of conversation)
