Document Summary
Reaction approach: peripheral viewpoint: when something has emotional significance, you have a facial and postural response (bodily response) Create connection between an emotionally significant event and your own. Facial feedback hypothesis: awareness of one"s own facial expressions is the emotion autographical/episodic memory. Another way to think about emotions: happiness vs. 3. and facial feedback and visceral feedback (gut) Emotional experience is shaped by bodily feedback from the face and viscera. A feedback system requires time and so emotional experiences build up over time and have a holistic structure. Objective vs. subjective approaches in psychology: positivism goes hand in hand with an objective approach in science. Language = every word has a single meaning specified by an operation or scientific definition. Nomothetic: rule oriented and searches for general laws: romanticism fits with a subjective approach. Language = found in myths and everyday speech precise and narrow language cannot capture the complexities of psychology and personal life.
