How does emotional intelligence affect a person?  Emotions and Emotional 01 Intelligence 02 Types of Human Emotions 03 Dealing with One’s Emotions  01 Emotions and Emotional Intelligence Emotions Emotions are mental states brought on by neurophysiological changes, variously associated with thoughts, feelings, behavioral responses, and a degree of pleasure or displeasure.  DID YOU KNOW THAT… Emotions are NOT produced by the human heart but by the brain. Emotions Limbic system structures are involved in many of our emotions and motivations, particularly those that are related to survival. The limbic system controls the experience and expression of emotions, as well as some automatic functions of the body. Emotions The cingulate gyrus lies on the medial aspect of the cerebral hemisphere. It forms a major part of the limbic system which has functions in emotion and behavior. Emotions The amygdala is responsible for determining what memories are stored and at what location in the brain. It's thought that this determination is based on how huge an emotional response an event invokes. Emotions The hippocampus sends memories out to the appropriate part of the cerebral hemisphere for long-term storage and retrieves them when necessary. The hippocampus is also involved in the formation and retrieval of memories.  DID YOU KNOW THAT… Damage to the amygdala or hippocampus may result in an inability to form new memories. Emotions The thalamus is involved in sensory perception and regulation of motor functions. The hypothalamus is the main neural control center in the brain that controls endocrine glands. Emotions Endocrine glands (controlled by the hypothalamus) release hormones into the bloodstream. This lets the hormones travel to cells in other parts of the body. Emotions Types of Endocrine Glands in the Body: ✓ Pituitary gland. This is your endocrine system’s master gland. It uses information it gets from your brain to tell other glands in your body what to do. Emotions Types of Endocrine Glands in the Body: ✓ Pineal gland. It makes a chemical called melatonin that helps your body get ready to go to sleep. Emotions Types of Endocrine Glands in the Body: ✓ Thyroid gland. This gland makes thyroid hormone, which controls your growth and metabolism. Emotions Types of Endocrine Glands in the Body: ✓ Parathyroid. This is a set of four small glands behind your thyroid. They play a role in bone health. Emotions Types of Endocrine Glands in the Body: ✓ Thymus. This gland makes white blood cells called T lymphocytes that fight infection and are crucial as a child's immune system develops. Emotions Types of Endocrine Glands in the Body: ✓ Adrenals. Best known for making the "fight or flight" hormone adrenaline. Emotions Types of Endocrine Organs in the Body: ✓ Pancreas. This organ is part of your digestive and endocrine systems. It makes digestive enzymes that break down food. Emotions Types of Endocrine Organs in the Body: ✓ Ovaries. In a female body, these organs make estrogen and progesterone. ✓ Testes. In a male body, the testes make testosterone. DID YOU KNOW THAT… An emotion comes and goes quickly. An emotion biologically lasts only 90 seconds. Moods Mood can be defined as a relatively stable affective state (last longer) often described as positive or negative. Sometimes mood is described as one's subjective feeling state and affects the outward expression of it. Unlike emotions, which tend to be stronger and more specific, moods are more general and less intense.  DID YOU KNOW THAT… Emotions come first, then feelings come after as the emotion chemicals go to work in our bodies. Then moods develop from a combination of feelings. Emotional Intelligence Emotional intelligence (otherwise known as emotional quotient or EQ) is the ability to understand, use, and manage your own emotions in positive ways to relieve stress, communicate effectively, empathize with others, overcome challenges and defuse conflict. Emotional Intelligence Self- Five Social awareness Skills Components of Emotional Intelligence Self- Empathy regulation Motivation Emotional Intelligence Being self-aware is all about having an understanding of your Self- own thoughts, feelings, values, awareness beliefs, and actions. It means that you understand who you are, what you want, how you feel, and why you do the things that you do. Emotional Intelligence Empathy is the capacity to understand or feel what another person is experiencing from within Empathy their frame of reference, that is, the capacity to place oneself in another's position. Emotional Intelligence Motivation is an internal state that propels individuals to engage in goal-directed behavior. It is often Motivation understood as a force that explains why humans initiate, continue, or terminate a certain behavior at a particular time. Emotional Intelligence Self-regulation is the ability to understand and manage your Self- regulation behavior and your reactions to feelings and things happening around you. Emotional Intelligence Social skills are the skills we use every day to interact and communicate with others. They Social Skills include verbal and non-verbal communication, such as speech, gesture, facial expression, and body language.  02 Types of Human Emotions Happiness Happiness is often defined as a pleasant emotional state that is characterized by feelings of contentment, joy, gratification, satisfaction, and well-being. Happiness This type of emotion is sometimes expressed through: ✓ Facial expressions: such as smiling ✓ Body language: such as a relaxed stance ✓ Tone of voice: an upbeat, pleasant way of speaking  DID YOU KNOW THAT… Happy hormones are dopamine (which makes us feel good), serotonin (which reduces depression), and endorphin (which reduces physical pain). Sadness Sadness is another type of emotion often defined as a transient emotional state characterized by feelings of disappointment, grief, hopelessness, disinterest, and dampened mood. Sadness In some cases, people can experience prolonged and severe periods of sadness that can turn into depression. Sadness can be expressed in a number of ways including: ✓ Crying ✓ Dampened mood ✓ Lethargy/Lack of enthusiasm ✓ Quietness ✓ Withdrawal from others  DID YOU KNOW THAT… Depression symptoms may be different in different people. So while one person may struggle to get out of bed, someone else might be able to go to work every day without co-workers noticing anything unusual. Don’t worry, it’s okay to be sad. Fear Fear is a powerful emotion that can also play an important role in survival. When you face some sort of danger and experience fear, you go through what is known as the fight or flight response. Fear The fight-or-flight response, also known as the acute stress response, refers to the physiological reaction that occurs when in the presence of something mentally or physically terrifying. Fear STAGES OF FIGHT-OR-FLIGHT RESPONSE The alarm stage: During this stage, the central nervous system is ramped up, preparing your body to fight or flee. The resistance stage: This is the stage in which the body attempts to normalize and recover from the initial elevated fight-or-flight response. The exhaustion stage: If the first two stages occur repeatedly over time, such as when under chronic stress, this can cause the body to feel exhausted and begin to break down.  DID YOU KNOW THAT… Repeated exposure to a fearful object or situation can lead to familiarity and acclimation, which can reduce feelings of fear and anxiety. Disgust This sense of revulsion can originate from a number of things, including an unpleasant taste, sight, or smell. Disgust can be displayed in a number of ways including: ✓ Body language: turning away from the object of disgust ✓ Physical reactions: vomiting or retching ✓ Facial expressions: wrinkling the nose and curling the upper lip  DID YOU KNOW THAT… People can also experience moral disgust when they observe others engaging in behaviors that they find distasteful, immoral, or evil. Anger Anger can be a particularly powerful emotion characterized by feelings of hostility, agitation, frustration, and antagonism towards others. Anger is often displayed through: ✓ Facial expressions: frowning or glaring ✓ Body language: taking a strong stance or turning away ✓ Tone of voice: speaking gruffly or yelling ✓ Physiological responses: sweating or turning red ✓ Aggressive behaviors: hitting, kicking, or throwing objects Surprise Surprise is usually quite brief and is characterized by a physiological startle response following something unexpected. It could be positive or negative. Surprise is often characterized by: ✓ Facial expressions: raising the brows, widening the eyes, and opening the mouth ✓ Physical responses: jumping ✓ Verbal reactions: yelling, screaming, or gasping  03 Dealing with One’s Emotions Ways to Deal with Emotions Be aware of your emotions and reactions.
