Emotions
• Feelings that generally have both physiological and cognitive elements and that influence behavior
• Physiological– Sympathetic = “fight or flight” response

The Functions of Emotions
• Preparing us for action
• Shaping our future behavior
• Helping us interact more effectively with others

Theories of Emotion
Emotions are a mix of 1) physiological activation, 2) expressive behaviors, and
3) conscious experience.

Controversy
1) Does physiological arousal precede or follow your emotional experience?
2) Does cognition (thinking) precede emotion (feeling)?

Physiological Similarities
Physiological responses related to the emotions of fear, anger, love, and
boredom are very similar.
Excitement and fear involve a similarphysiological arousal.

Physiological Differences
Physical responses, like finger temperature and movement of facial muscles, change during fear,
rage, and joy.
The amygdala shows differences in activation during the emotions of anger and rage. Activity of the left hemisphere (happy) is different from the right (depressed) for emotions.

Cognition and Emotion
What is the connection between how we think (cognition) and how we feel
(emotion)?
Can we change our emotions by changing our thinking?

Cognition Can Define Emotion
An arousal response to one event spills over into our response to the next event.
Arousal from a soccer match can fuel anger, which may lead to rioting.

Cognition Does Not Always Precede Emotion
When fearful eyes were subliminally presented to subjects, fMRI scans revealed
higher levels of activity in the amygdala (Whalen et al. 2004).

Causes of Anger
1. People generally become angry with friends and loved ones who commit wrongdoings, especially if they are willful, unjustified, and avoidable.
2. People are also angered by foul odors, high temperatures, traffic jams, and aches and pains.
![Page 22: Emotions and Stress Chapter 12 Lecture 13. Emotions Feelings that generally have both physiological and cognitive elements and that influence behavior](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/56649c915503460f9494c2c8/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
22
Catharsis Hypothesis
Venting anger through action or fantasy achieves an emotional release or
“catharsis.”
Expressing anger breeds more anger, and through reinforcement it is habit-forming.
![Page 23: Emotions and Stress Chapter 12 Lecture 13. Emotions Feelings that generally have both physiological and cognitive elements and that influence behavior](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/56649c915503460f9494c2c8/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
23
Cultural & Gender Differences
1. Boys respond to anger by moving away from that situation, while girls talk to their friends or listen to music.
2. Anger breeds prejudice. The 9/11 attacks led to an intolerance towards immigrants and Muslims.
3. The expression of anger is more encouraged in cultures that do not promote group behavior than in cultures that do promote group behavior.

Emotional Ups and Downs
Over the long run, our emotional ups and downs tend to balance. Although grave
diseases can bring individuals emotionally down, most people adapt.

Wealth and Well-being
Many people in the West believe that if they were wealthier, they would be happier. However, data suggests that they would
only be happy temporarily.

Wealth and Well-being
1. In affluent societies, people with more money are happier than people who struggle for their basic needs.
2. People in rich countries are happier than people in poor countries.
3. A sudden rise in financial conditions makes people happy.
However, people who live in poverty or in slums are also satisfied with their life.

Happiness is not only relative to our past, but also to our comparisons with others. Relative Deprivation is the perception that we are relatively worse off than those we compare ourselves with.

Stress and Stressors
Stress is not merely a stimulus or a response. It is a process by which we appraise and cope with environmental
threats and challenges.
When short-lived or taken as a challenge, stressors may have positive effects. However, if stress is threatening or prolonged, it
can be harmful.
