Emotion, Intuition and “Hot” Thinking • Psychological Perspectives on Emotion • the role of thinking in emotion • Studying Emotion • Blink: Thin Slicing Emotions
anger fear happy contempt
Emotion 101 • Emotion Families • Three Channels of Output • Subjective Feeling • Expression • Physiology • Appraisals of Meaning (aka the role of thinking in emotions) • Hot “Cognitions” • “You intentionally demeaned me”
Can we study emotion scientifically?Emotions in the Context of Couple Interactions • Laboratory Based Interaction • “Revealed Offense” Task • Videotape ==> Observational Coding • Physiological Indicators of Emotion • VIDEO RECALL • On-line Feelings and thoughts
“How I felt during this discussion” Wife’s Positive “HAM” Wife’s Negative “HAM”
Does this study show that you can use science to examine emotion? • How do you know emotions when you see them? • What cues do you use? • BLINK: Thin Slicing Emotions

Specific Affect Coding System (SPAFF) • GOTTMAN (from Blink) • Long Manual • Gestalt Approach • Body Language • Facial Expression • Speech Content • Speech Qualities (tone, prosody) • Extensive Training • Multiple emotions coded • SPAFF vs. FACS • More inference, harder to get interrater agreement, more “subjective”
Our Method of Observing Emotion • View Videotapes • 30-second epochs • 16 emotions and couple behaviors • e.g., Anger (0=not at all; 9=A lot) • 5-6 independent “naïve” observers • ratings pooled
Naïve Coder Approach vs. SPAFF • More reliance on intuition, subjective judgment … thin slicing • Less “thinking” and reliance on heuristics in manual • More or less objective???
Does it Work? • Highly correlated with SPAFF coding • Emotional Coding Predicts Marital Quality and Stability • 83% accuracy in predicting dissolution • Why might be the advantages of naïve coding vs. SPAFF manualized approach?
