Study Notes
Emotion
- Emotion consists of bodily arousal and conscious experience
- Inquires as to which happens first when it comes to these components of emotion
- No definitive right answer regarding which comes first
Theories of Emotion
James-Lange Theory of Emotion
- Physiological arousal or behavior is experienced first in response to stimuli
- The emotional experience occurs due to the physiological response or behavior
- Physiological arousal or behavior then the emotion
Cannon-Bard Theory of Emotion
- Emotion and physiological reactions occur simultaneously
- Physiological arousal and emotion are experienced at the same time but operate simultaneously
Two-Factor Theory of Emotion (Schachter & Singer, 1962)
- Understanding emotions involves two steps
- First experience physiological arousal
- Next, interpret the reason for the physiological arousal by providing an explanation or label for it
- As a result of the interpretation, emotion is experienced
- Physiological arousal leads to interpretation leads to emotion
Angry/Happy Man Study (Schachter & Singer, 1962)
- Participants were injected with epinephrine or a placebo
- Participants were informed or not informed that the injection would cause arousal
- A confederate behaved in either an angry or happy manner
- Participants labeled the emotion
Motivation
- Motivation encompasses the factors that direct and energize behavior
- Motivation is within personality or a social area
- Motivation is what pushes someone to do something, and what persons are willing to put their time and energy into
- Types of motivation vary
Self-Actualization - Abraham Maslow
- Hierarchy of needs is a list of ascending needs from basic to more complex
- Basic needs must be achieved before higher-level needs can be achieved
- Physiological needs such as food, water, warmth, and rest are the most basic
- Safety needs such as security and safety
- Belongingness and love needs such as intimate relationships and friends
- Esteem needs cover prestige and feelings of accomplishment
- Self-actualization is about achieving one's full potential, including creative activities
- Need to find self-fulfillment and realize one's potential
- Most people are not self-actualized
- Around 42% of people are self-actualized
