Differentiation theory Excitement Positive emotions Negative Emotions surprise sad pain joy anger interest
Other theories of emotion • Discrete emotions theory: • Innately disposed to experience emotions • Behavioral and cognitive approaches: • Emotions are learned through experience and represented cognitively • Labels are applied to physiological states: Eat two chocolate bars and go to the movies
Emotions have adaptive evolutionary function • Joy: About to achieve a goal • Anger: Confronted by an obstacle • Sadness: A goal is unattainable • Disgust: Something distasteful is happening • All of these emotions lead to motivation for some kind of action or reaction
Children must learn to read emotional cues: Is this person modeling genuine warmth or concealed irritation?
Erik Erikson and Personality Development • Trust vs. mistrust: Birth to 1 year • Autonomy vs. Shame and doubt (1-3) • Initiative vs. Guilt (3-6) • Industry vs. Inferiority (6-12) • Identity vs. Role confusion (adolescence) • Intimacy vs. Isolation (early adulthood) • Generativity vs. Stagnation (middle adult) • Integrity vs. Despair (old age)

Temperament • Disposition, intensity, and duration of emotional experience • Easy: Playful, adaptable, regular in sleep and eating cycles • Difficult: Fusy, irregular, unadaptable to new situations • Slow-to-warm up: Avoid/ shy with novelty • Goodness-of-fit: person X environment interaction
