43
HPA axis

45
Components of Emotion
cognitive, physiological, behavioral, subjective
46
Emphasize how physiological changes in the body give rise to emotional feelings
Peripheral Theory
47
3 Peripheral Theories
1. James-Lange theory 2. Canon-Bard theory 3. Facial Feedback theory
48
Interpretation or appraisal or thought or memory of a situation, object, or event can contribute to, or result in, your experiencing different emotional states
Cognitive Appraisal Theory
49
2 Cognitive Appraisal Theories
1. Schacter-Singer theory 2. Lazarus theory
50
stimulus leads to bodily arousal first, which is then interpreted as an emotion. (I am afraid because I'm shaking)
James-Lange Theory
51
a stimulus leads to brain activity which then results in experiencing physiological arousal and emotion at the same time. (I am shaking and feeling afraid at the same time)
Canon-Bard Theory
52
stimulus leads to both bodily arousal and labeling of the arousal (cognitive appraisal) based on cues from the environment, which leads to the experience and labeling of the emotional reaction. (This snarling dog is dangerous and that makes me feel afraid)
Schacter-Singer Theory
53
sensations or feedback from the movement of facial muscles are interpreted by the brain as different emotions
Facial Feedback Theory
54
stimulus causes an immediate appraisal or evaluation that results in an emotional response then followed by the appropriate physiological response
Lazarus Theory
55
Components of Emotion
cognitive, physiological, behavioral, subjective
56
Physiological component of emotion
emotions involve the system and the autonomic responses (sympathetic and parasympathetic)
57
Behavioral component of emotion
every emotion finds a way to be expressed
58
People mostly recognize how we feel through facial expressions
behavior
59
Typically lasts between 0.5 to 4 seconds and involves the whole face
Macro-expressions
60
These do not intend to hide and occur whenever we are alone or with family and close friends.
Macro-expressions
61
Expressions that go on and off the face in a fraction of a second as fast as 1/30 of a second.
Micro-expressions
62
Cognitive component of emotion
Labeling or interpreting the subjective feeling
63
retrieving memories of previous similar experiences, perceiving context of the emotion then coming up with a “solution”
Cognitive
64
Kinds of appraisal
Primary and Secondary
65

Primary Appraisal
66
function is to determine how best to cope with the event once it has been classified as furthering or thwarting the subject’s goals
Secondary Appraisal
67

Another name for Lazarus' Theory
appraisal theory

Another name for James-Lange Theory
peripheral theory
