1. When you underground anger, you lose self-esteem. 2. When you bury anger, you have a loss of face, which can lead you to humiliation. 3. When you underground anger, you can lose a valued role (i.e. your sense of self or your reputation). 4. When you bury anger, you can lose a valued relationship.

Answer 6

1. Anger is neither right nor wrong -- you have the right to get angry. It's what we do with that anger that causes problems. 2. Anger can be released in a right or wrong way. 3. You are vulnerable when you are angry. We tend to act in ways or say things that are totally uncharacteristic when angry -- you will be more open to doing or saying something that you don't really mean.

Bodily responses to external stimuli lead to (cause) emotional experiences (i.e. an increased heart rate makes you feel afraid, instead of a feeling of fear making your heart rate increase). Includes the emotional sequence, the steps of which can occur within seconds, but are still separate.

Answer 10

External Stimulus > Bodily Arousal > Expressive Behaviors > Emotion

Answer 11

Facial expressions can influence a person's emotional experiences (i.e. smiling > feeling happy), help people understand how they are feeling, aid in empathy, amplify a person's emotional experiences, and promp other physical responses. It is an extension of the James-Lange theory.

Answer 12

Emotional experiences occur at the same time as (separate from) corresponding bodily arousal. They made this determination because they believed that physical responses to stimuli were too similar between emotions (i.e. increased heart rate for anger, love, fear, and more) to be the cause of emotional experiences. Rather than the sympathetic nervous system response alerting the brain’s cortex, the external stimulus, itself, is responsible for prompting responses from both the sympathetic nervous system and the brain’s cortex.
