Study Notes
Emotion, Stress, and Health
- Emotions are adaptive responses that include bodily arousal, expressive behaviors, and conscious experiences.
- Theories of emotion address whether physiological arousal comes before or after emotional feelings and how feeling and cognition interact.
- Historical emotion theories include the James-Lange theory, Cannon-Bard theory, and Schachter and Singer two-factor theory.
- Emotions have subtle indicators, and brain scans and EEGs reveal different brain circuits for different emotions.
- People can detect nonverbal cues and threats and read emotional cues more easily and be more empathic.
- Women tend to express more emotion with their faces, and people attribute female emotionality to disposition and male emotionality to circumstance.
- Stress is the process by which we perceive and respond to certain events called stressors that we appraise as threatening or challenging.
- Stressors include catastrophes, significant life changes, and daily hassles.
- The stress response includes a “fight-or-flight” system and a general three-phase (alarm-resistance-exhaustion) general adaptation syndrome (GAS).
- Stress hormones suppress the immune system, and chronic stress triggers persistent inflammation that increases the risk of heart disease and depression.
- Coping strategies include problem-focused coping and emotion-focused coping, and self-control requires attention and energy but predicts good adjustment, better grades, and social success.
- Social support helps fight illness by calming the cardiovascular system and fostering stronger immune functioning, and aerobic exercise, relaxation, and meditation may help lessen stress effects.

- Different emotions have subtle indicators, and brain scans and EEGs reveal different brain circuits for different emotions.
- People can often detect nonverbal cues and threats, and women tend to read emotional cues more easily and to be more empathic.
- Facial expressions can trigger emotional feelings and signal the body to respond accordingly, and people mimic others' expressions, which helps them empathize.
- Anger is most often evoked by misdeeds that we interpret as willful, unjustified, and avoidable, and chronic hostility is one of the negative emotions linked to heart disease.
- Pessimists are more likely than optimists to develop heart disease, and social support helps fight illness by calming the cardiovascular system and fostering stronger immune functioning.
- Stress is a process by which we perceive and respond to certain events, called stressors, that we appraise as threatening or challenging, and extreme or prolonged stress can cause harm.
- Stressors include catastrophes, significant life changes, and daily hassles, and the stress response involves a "fight-or-flight" system or a general adaptation syndrome.
