Document Summary

However, we have seen that emotions are grounded in our. From very early in development, our emotional capabilities shape our interactions and our development we create and use attachments to regulate our emotions which will later on influence our relationships and social interactions. William james (the principles of psychology, 1980): my theory, , is that the bodily changes follow directly the perception of the exciting fact, and that our feeling of the same changes as they occur is the emotion. Common sense says, we lose our fortune, are sorry, and weep; we meet a bear, are frightened, and run; The hypothesis here to be defended says that this order of sequence is incorrect.
