Document Summary
Helps improves mood, and immune system functioning: suppression and rumination. Attempt to not feel or respond to the emotion at all. More you think about it the more you want it. Thinking about, elaborating and focusing on undesired thoughts or feelings. Prolongs the mood and it impedes successful mood regulation strategies such as distracting oneself or focusing on solution for the problem. However: these can backfire if people change their thoughts but end up thinking about other problems or engaging in maladaptive behavior. All about how other people change in groups and in feelings and behavior. We like to put people into groups and classify them. Research has shown that our long-term evaluation of people is heavily influenced by our first impressions. How you initially feel: nonverbal behavior. Thin slices of behavior: seconds-long observations offer powerful cues for impression formation, 30-second film clips and rating. High correspondence of how well the teacher is.
