Document Summary
Psyc2010 lecture 28 cognitive component of emotion. Attribution theory of emotion: test of the theory. Inject with placebo (saline no side effect) Placed in a room with another person (cid:862)also from study(cid:863) and asked to fill out surveys together. The new person either displayed anger (huffing and puffing and throwing paper at wall) or happiness (giggling and playing paper basketball) Conf: often in these situations we ask ourselves what are others doing? , this suggests that emotion is not completely related to internal stimulus, both the arousal (internal stimulus) and cognition (why am i felling this way?) make emotion. Psyc2010 lecture 28 cognitive component of emotion: shark jumps out of water -> fear, rotten meat -> disgust, regardless of culture these are pretty standardized, however . It is not just the experience but also the expression: these two are pretty standardized. Cultural differences in emotion: so, there are constants, but where do they differ.
