Emotionoccurs when a person encounters a stimulus, like the feeling of butterflies in your stomach when your crush walks by.
Some are more difficult to perceive like the neurons activated within the brain and this is called Embodied Emotion.
Our physiological activity is controlled by the autonomic nervous system’s sympathetic (arousing) and parasympathetic (calming) divisions.
Sympathetic Example http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFXaGlxlU9Y While the young boy eats the candy he expresses his arousal through his lowering eyebrows and exceedingly red cheeks. Parasympathetic Example http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFXaGlxlU9Y As the baby becomes relaxed he no longer flails his arms and legs. Now he has become relaxed and even nods his head to the soothing music.
There are three theories on the basis of Embodied Emotion: Two-Factor Theory Cannon-Bard Theory James – Lang Theory
Two-Factor Theory Stanley Schachter and Jerome Singer proposed another theory stating that emotions have two factors – physical arousal and cognitive label . Your pounding heart signifies you are afraid thus evoking fear.
Cannon-Bard Theory Walter Cannon and Phillip Bard believed that an emotion driven stimulus and the body’s arousal take place at the same time. Your pounding heart simultaneously evokes the emotion of fear.
James-Lang Theory William James and Carl Lange believed that physiological activity precedes the emotional experience. Your heart starts to pound and once put into the context of the situation you feel fear.
Similarities on Emotions Emotions are can often evoke the same response. Three emotions— fear, anger, and sexual arousal —produce similar physiological responses that are nearly indistinguishable to an untrained observer.
