Q

cognitive perspective of emotions

Study These Flashcards
A

schatcher-singers cognitve label theory, misattribution of arousal, facilitate romantic attraction

22
Q

schatcher-singer congitive label theory

Study These Flashcards
A

human brain is like computer, stimulus causes generalized arousal, brain searches reason for arousal, brain creates cognitive label, once labeled, specific emotion is experienced

23
misattribution of arousal
tricking the mind like schatcher-singer theory
24
can misattribution of arousal facilitate romantic attraction
Dutton and Aaron, pleasant v unpleasant arousal
25
aualia
primitive subjective experience of affect that not fully describable
26
emotions in brain
cortex and interior parts of brain
27
networks in brain
communication among regions; 3-D representations of emotions; patterns are constantly changing as are experiences of emotions
28
epileptic aura
psychological changes that precede seizures and involve emotional felling, occur in interior of brain, range of emotions and have accompanying facial expressions
29
emotion education
process by which children learn to label their affective feelings, people label situations and childs facial expressions and childs behavior; labels attach to childs affective behavior
30
triadic relation
when internal reaction to stimulus is shared between 2 individuals
31
intensity and duration of emotions
emotions vary in intensity, duration, valence (+, -)
32
law of change
greater stimuli changes produce stronger emotions
33
law of emotional momentum
emotion stimulus repeatedly elicits same emotion provided that person hasn't habituated to stimulus
34
honeymoon effect
high passion occurs early in marriage/early in romantic relationship; passion declines with length of marriage due to partner habituating to stimulus characteristic of other partner
35
function of arousal
heart rate, blood pressure, electodermal responses (perspirations), and muscle tension; assume each specific affective feelings has a unique profile of aroused physiological response associated with it. major differences occur between + and - emotions
36
body maps of emotions
attempts to localize emotions based on where the emotions is felt most intensely; specific emotions are perceived more weakly/strongly in certain body areas (disgust felt in stomach, love felt in heart)
37
pattern classification analysis
emotion inducing stimulus produce different physiological response patterns, different patterns represent different emotions, some create confusion (anger v fear), implies emotion differentiation is possible without complete physiological pattern specificity
38
cognitive arousal theory
affect depends on interpretation of ones physiological arousal as based on information extracted from the emotion situation
39
excitation transfer
experiments in which physiological arousal induced from one source influence emotional experience and behavior induced from another source
40
example of excitation transfer
male physiological arousal increased by running, afterward men evaluate women model; arousal increased attraction for attractive female, arousal decreased attraction for unattractive female
41
theory of constructed emotions
brain constructs an emotion from general pattern of physiological responses in current situations and memory of prior experiences constructed emotions= pattern of arousal + situation + memory
42
cannons theory of arousal
physiological/arousal is organisms preparedness for emergency responses (flight/fight)
43
emergency response
discrete emotion prepare organism
44
action readiness
preparedness to execute a behavior associated with specific emotion
45
moods
a subjective experience similar to an emotion; background of conscious
46
mood differs from emotions
longer duration, emotion is less intense, less awareness of inducing stimulus for mood, differs in + and - and bad/good
47
negative affect
afraid, scared, nervous, jittery, irritable, hostile, guilty, ashamed, upset, distressed
48
positive affect
active, alert, attentive, determined, enthusiastic, excited, inspired, interested, proud, strong
49
factors that affect mood
time/day, day of week, seasons, weather, sleep
50
PANAS
positive mood higher midday and lower morning and night. negative mood= constant over entire day
51
morningness-eveningness
personality dimension referring to time of day that person functions bests (larks/owls. Positive mood= monday to saturday. negative mood= increase saturday to monday, decrease on sunday
52
seasonal affective disorder
winter blues; mood is lower in winter and higher in spring and fall. low in summer for some people due to heat.
53
serve depression
doesn't increase duration of winter/amount of sunlight
54
winter blues
lead to sleep more, eat more, gain weight, less energy, decline in social interaction, not considered depression
55
regulate moods
