Terms | Definitions |
|---|---|
 Emotions | bodily arousal (nervous system arousal); cognitions (subjective, or conscious, experience of the feeling); expressed behavior (outward expression) |
| Emotional Expression: Darwin | believed emotions are adaptive to survival (humans and primates are similar) |
| Facial Expressions | 6 basic emotions are universally recognized: anger, fear, disgust, sadness, happiness, surprise; can recognize same basic facial expressions throughout the world; we don't know how many basic emotions there are |
| Cultural Differences in Expressions | display rules; gestures and bodily movements; rules for governing appropriate display of emotions by men and women; women better at expressing and recognizing emotions |
| Cultural and Gender Differences in Emotion | people are more accurate in recognizing facial expressions of their own national, ethnic and regional groups; display rules describe the cultural customs and norms that regulate the display of emotions; socialization process; gender specific rules |
| Socialization Process | display rules are taught as a part of this; process of learning one's culture |
| Gender Specific Rules | men don't have as much latitude in expression as women (except anger); women generally better than men when it comes to expressing their feelings verbally and through facial expression, as well as recognizing and recalling feelings of others |
| Facial-Feedback Hypothesis | mimicking facial movements produces mimicked emotion |
| Happiness | wealth and marriage only a small contribution to happiness; friends and faith seem linked to happiness; Lykken |
| Lykken | believes that people have a particular set point for happiness |
| Applying Positive Psychology to Help People Become Happier | Ckikszentmihalyi and Seligman believe that you can increase happiness; gratitude visits (mentally thanking those who affected your life positively); 3 blessings (thinking of 3 positive things that happened and being thankful for them); one door closes, another opens; savoring (living in the moment); 3 good things in life |
| Love- The Deepest Emotion: Sternberg | triangular model of love: intimacy, passion, decision/commitment; different combinations of the components reflect different types of love |
| Types of Love (according to Sternberg) | nonlove, liking, infatuation, fatuous (foolish) love, empty love, romantic love, consummate love, companionate love |
| How Your Brain Does Emotions | emotion involves activity of both the limbic system and the cerebral cortex |
| Limbic System | consists of the amygdala (evaluates potential threats, works with hypothalamus for fear respose, emotions, reflexes) and hippocampus (forming of memories) |
| Cerebral Cortex | evaluates meaning of situations and plans response (approach or avoid) |
| Theories of Emotion: James-Lange | body reacts first then emotions experienced (bear, run, fear) |
| Theories of Emotion: Cannon-Bard | bodily reactions and emotions occur simultaneously (bear, fear, run); more accurate than James-Lange Theory |
| Theories of Emotion: Two-Factor Model | factor 1: physiological arousal; factor 2: cognitive labeling of arousal |
| Theories of Emotion: LeDoux's Dual-Pathway Model | sensory (visual) information--stimulus--processed by thalamic-amygdala ("low road") pathway OR passes through "high road" leading to sensory cortex for further processing; thalamus --> cerebral cortex (careful processing) OR thalamus --> amygdala (quick processing) |
| Emotion Intelligence/Management | knowing your emotion, managing your emotions, motivating yourself, recognizing emotions in others, helping others handle their emotions |
