Document Summary
Accompanied by physiological and behavioral changes in body: physiological- sweating, shaking, ^ heart rate, behavioral- Discreet emotions- anger, fear, disgust, happiness, sadness, surprise (basic 6) Direct assessment- ask directly, but is subjective. Indirect assessment: observing emotions, response to facilitation of inhibition, physiological- heart rate, etc (like lie detector) Fear/angry- want the problem to go away. James lange theory of emotion- we are sad because we cry (common sense tells us otherwise though?) Physiological response- we notice, then we figure out what emotion we feel. Brain observes the physiological changes and you become __emotion___. Mimic a face- sometimes tells you what emotion that means (facial feedback) However: emotional arousal may last longer, emotional feelings faster than physiological. Physiological may not tell what subjective feeling though, since some carry across different emotions (ex: crying) Somatic marker: physiological emotion (ex: heart beat) Tell body how to react, make decisions. Emotions priming you to do something/behave differently. Same automatic responses can accompany different emotions.
