What is EMOTIONS The English word “ emotion ” was adapted from the French word emouvoir in 1979, meaning “ to stir up ” SIX BASIC EMOTIONS Psychologist Paul Ekman s uggested that there are six basic emotions that are universal throughout human cultures: HAPPINESS SADNESS FEAR DISGUST ANGER SURPRISE HAPPINESS Happiness is an emotional state characterized by feelings of joy, satisfaction, contentment, and fulfillment. I t is often described as involving positive emotions and life satisfaction. SADNESS FACIAL EXPRESSION OF SADNESS One very strong and reliable sign of sadness is the angling - up of the inner corners of the eyebrows. Few people are able to manipulate these muscles voluntarily, making it especially difficult to fake (unlike some other facial movements) FEAR Fear arises with the threat of harm, either physical, emotional, or psychological, real or imagined. While traditionally considered a “negative” emotion, fear actually serves an important role in keeping us safe as it mobilizes us to cope with potential danger. DISGUST arises as a feeling of aversion towards something offensive. We can feel disgusted by something we perceive with our physical senses (sight, smell, touch, sound, taste), by the actions or appearances of people, and even by ideas. ANGER arises when we are blocked from pursuing a goal and/or treated unfairly. At its most extreme, anger can be one of the most dangerous emotions because of its potential connection to violence and, therefore, is a common emotion to seek help in dealing with. SURPRISE arises when we encounter sudden and unexpected sounds or movements. As the briefest of the universal emotions, its function is to focus our attention on determining what is happening and whether or not it is dangerous. Emotions and Its Components COMPONENTS OF EMOTIONS PHYSIOLOGICAL BEHAVIORAL COGNITIVE BIOLOGICAL COMPONENT PHYSIOLOGICAL AROUSAL Arousal a heightened activity in both our mind and body that makes us more alert. The arousal may be intense or mild depending on the source of arousal Emotional arousal is also a process, which means it happens as sequences over time. Something triggers an arousal through our senses. Touch (a punch or a pinch) Vision (seeing something shocking or desirable) Hearing ( as soft music or sudden loud thunder) Smell (obnoxious or perfume scent) Taste (bitter or sweet) During arousal, the body releases chemicals in the brain that stimulate emotion, reduce cortical functioning, reduce conscious control, and finally, agitation and physical action. S everal theories in physiologic components “Esta plantilla ha sido creada por Slidesgo ” Walter Brandford Cannon – an American physiologist Philip Bard – Cannon’s doctoral student Who explain the experience of emotion as a physiological response of the thalamic region of the brain. The brain gets a message that causes the experience of emotion at the same time that the autonomic nervous system gets a message that causes physiological arousal. William James, an American psychologist, and Carl Lange, a Danish physiologist, develop another theory called James - Lange Theory Emotions are our interpretation of the accompanying physiological reactions. “Esta plantilla ha sido creada por Slidesgo ” William James, an American psychologist, and Carl Lange, a Danish physiologist, develop another theory called James - Lange Theory Emotions are our interpretation of the accompanying physiological reactions. “Esta plantilla ha sido creada por Slidesgo ” Stanley Schachter , an American social psychologist, who worked closely with Jerome Singer, an American clinical psychologist. Proposed different theory called Two Factor Theory which states that the experience of emotion depends on two factors: Physiological arousal Interpretational arousal “Esta plantilla ha sido creada por Slidesgo ” James - Lange – emotion is caused by physiological responses to a stressor Cannon - Bard – You respond emotionally to a stressor at the same time the physiological changes in your body. Schachter Singer - after responding to a stressor, you appraise the threat at the same time as changes happen in your body (sweat, heart beat) which leads you to feel the emotion. Lazarus – after being exposed to a stressor, you appraise the threat, then you feel the emotion, then you have a body response (heart beat, sweat) BEHAVIORAL COMPONENT Emotional Expression Every emotion finds a way of expression. People recognize what we feel by our facial expression. Facial expression commuicates our emotion. Facial expression is universal and can even be seen in animals. Key points Physiological components – is how the body reacts to emotion. Cognitive components – describe as how we interprets emotion and think about situation. Behavioral components – how you express and show emotion Psychologists, Paul Ekman and Carroll Izard c onducted “universality studies”, demonstrating cross - cultural agreement in judgments of emotion in faces by people in both literate and preliterate cultures. Universal facial expressions Anger Contempt Disgust Fear Joy Sadness Surprise Ekman discovered that people have microexpressions in addition to macroexpressions. Macroexpressions typically last between 0.5 to 4 seconds and involve the entire face (Ekman, 2003). Microexpressions are expressions that go on and off the face in a fraction of second, as fast as 1/30 of a second. COGNITIVE COMPONENT Subjective Labelling Person decides what he or she feels after interpreting or explaining to himself what had happened. Richard Lazarus, experience of emotion depends on the manner one appraises or evaluates an event. Richard Lazarus suggests two kinds of appraisal: Primary appraisal Secondary appraisal Primary appraisal we consider how a certain situation can benefit us. Secondary appraisal consider how we will be able to cope with the situation. Lazarus Theory or Appraisal Theory Elements of Emotional Intelligence Emotional Intelligence is the ability of a person to understand and relate well to others, and to successfully cope with the demands of daily life. FIVE COMPONENTS OF EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE An emotionally intelligent person posses both personal and interpersonal When you understand your emotions and know how to manage them, you can use self - control to hold a reaction if now is not the right time or place to express it. Managing Emotional Reactions part of managing emotions is choosing our moods. Choosing the right mood can help someone get motivated, concentrate on task, or try again instead of giving up.
