If we are constantly on a state of high alert, our body will not be able to function well. Appraisal processes: how objects and events in our environment are evaluated relative to our current goals, different appraisals- different emotions. Initial, quick appraisal made of an event or circumstance: automatic and mostly about good and bad, safe or dangerous, does the individual want to be in that situation, etc. (tarantula on man"s shoulder, na chill) Human facial expressions resemble displays of other primates.
