Study Notes
Emotions and Reactions
- Emotions are a type of reaction a person has to a situation, considered relevant to their needs, goals, or values.
- Positive emotions occur when events satisfy or promise to satisfy goals, needs, or values, while negative emotions occur when events harm or threaten them.
- Emotions have a greater impact when events change the current situation, especially if they are unexpected.
Subjective Experience
- Emotions involve a sense of pleasure or pain/distress, accompanied by physiological reactions (e.g., heart pounding).
- Emotions also involve a sense of wanting to take action, with some exceptions like sadness.
- Facial expressions and body movements are tied to the emotional state and action readiness.
Physiology and Behaviour
- Emotions are linked to underlying autonomic and hormonal systems, but there is no consistent pattern of underlying physiology for different emotions.
- Behaviour resulting from an emotional reaction depends on the mental state and social context of the person.
- Embodied emotional episodes are stored in memory, including the motor behaviour that occurred during the emotional event.
Embodiment and Memory
- Memories of emotional events include the motor behaviour that occurred during the event.
- Recall of an emotional event can prime motor behaviour, and motor behaviour can prime emotional reactions.
- If people cannot experience emotions in their bodies, it can interfere with their subjective emotional experience.
Emotional Experience
- People feel emotions when the situation is meaningful to them, which leads to physiological reactions and a subjective sense of wanting to take action.
- Emotional events involve behaviour and are embodied in memory.
- There is no one-size-fits-all approach to emotional experiences, and people may show emotion in their behaviour without being aware of it.
