| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Emotion | a full body/mind/behavioral response to a situation (arousal, behavior, and cognition) |
| expressive behavior | yelling, accelerating |
| bodily arousal | sweat, pounding heart |
| conscious experience | thoughts, especially the labeling of the emotion (eg. What a bad driver! I am angry, even scared) |
| James- Lange Theory | body before thoughts; body arousal happens first, and then the cognitive awareness and labeling of the feeling (eg. we observe that our heart is racing after a threat and then feel afraid) |
| Cannon-Bard Theory | body w/ thoughts; conscious/cognitive experience of an emotion at the same time as our body is responding (run parallel) (eg. our heart races as we experience fear) |
| Singer-Schachter/ Two factor Theory | body plus thoughts/label; emotions do not exist until we add a label to whatever body sensations we are feeling (eg. arousal can be labeled as fear or excitement, depending on the context) |
| spillover effect | when arousal was caused by injections of what turned out to be epinephrine |
| Zajonc, LeDoux | body/brain w/o conscious thoughts; some emotions do not involve labeling and happen through "low road"; instant, w/o cognitive appraisal (eg. we automatically react to a sound in the forest w/o appraising it. |
| Lazarus | can involve the appraisal situation that they are in (is that a threat or not?), sometimes w/o our awareness (eg. the sound is just the wind) |
| sympathetic nervous system | fight or flight system (arousal triggers activity) |
| parasympathetic nervous system | calms the body |
| positive "approach" emotions | joy, love, goal-seeking correlate w/ left frontal lobe activity. |
| negative "withdrawal" emotions | disgust, fear, anger, depression correlate w/ right hemisphere activity |
| Extroverts | like to go out and socialize; have emotions that are easier to read |
| Introverts | are more to themselves and are better at detecting emotions |
| Facial feedback effect | facial position and muscle changes can alter which emotion we feel. |
| Carroll Izzard | ten basic emotions: joy, anger, interest, disgust, surprise, sadness, fear, contempt, shame and guilt. |
| 2 dimensions of Emotion (James Russell) | 1) from pleasant to unpleasant and 2) from low to high arousal |
| flash of anger | gives us energy and initiative to fight or otherwise take action when necessary. |
| Persistent anger | can cause more harm than whatever we're angry about |
| Catharsis myth | idea that we can reduce anger by "releasing" it, and do this by acting aggressively (yelling, punching a pillow) |
| Happiness | a mood, attitude, social phenomenon, cognitive filter, way to stay hopeful, motivated and connected to others. |
| feel-good, do-good phenomenon | when in a good mood, we do more for others. The reverse is true: doing good, feels good. |
| adaptation-level phenomenon | when our wealth or other life conditions improve, we are happier compared to our past condition, but then we adapt, form a "new normal" level, and people must get another boost to feel the same satisfaction. |
| relative deprivation | feeling worse off by comparing yourself to people who are doing better than you. |
