  6. Define Emotion… • Positive or negative experience that is associated with a particular pattern of physiological activity

  8. Cartoon Analysis Activity

  9. Theories of Emotions • James-Lange Theory

  10. Theories of emotions • James-Lange Theory

  11. Theories of emotions • James-Lange Theory

  12. Other examples… • Sad because we cry • Angry because we hit • Afraid because we tremble

  13. Analysis of James-Lange Falls Short… Support 1) Pounding heart can mean many things… 2) autonomic nervous system isn’t fast enough…i.e., blush and embarrassment happen at the same time…how can one be causing the other. 3) We have difficulty detecting changes in autonomic functioning Quadriplegics experience dulled sense of emotion

  14. Theories of emotions • Cannon-Bard Theory

  15. Theories of emotions • Cannon-Bard Theory

  16. Theories of emotions • Two-Factor Theory—emotions are inferences of similar bodily states • Schachter-Singer

  17. Theories of emotions • Two-factor Theory • Schachter-Singer

  18. Theories of emotions • Two-factor Theory • Schachter-Singer

  19. Theories of emotions

  20. Support for 2-Factor • When people work out (i.e., activate autonomic nervous system) they find attractive people more attractive, annoying people more annoying, laugh harder at jokes, etc… • Why action movies always end as love stories • Cognitive misattribution

  21. Criticisms • Autonomic nervous system more intricate than we thought • We can now measure galvanic skin response and heart rate with more precision • Fear and disgust=higher galvanic skin response than sadness or anger • Anger=higher fingertip temp than fear • Zajonc (ZY-unz) • —infants copy emotion and express emotion without cognition • Therefore—cognition follows emotion • Izard • James-Lange was correct • Adds facial expression and bodily movement/posture in addition to nervous system • We control our own emotional response?

  22. Biofeedback/Learning Applications • Military training—control breathing, heart rate, etc… =reduced fear? (James-Lange) • Stress, meditation, yoga, etc…impact on emotions?

  23. The effects of facial expressions...(Izard) • Can we cure depression through botox? • “Fake it until you make it” • 9 of 10 participants no longer showed symptoms of clinical depression two months after treatment

  24. Detecting Emotion • ACT—handout 8B-8—non-verbal expressiveness. • 8B-9—Detecting deception • Autism • Myths/Facts • TED TAlK-EMOTIONAL ROBOTS

  25. Regulating Emotion • Complete handout 8B-4 • Reappraisal—changing emotional experience by changing meaning of stimulus (2-factor) • Suppression—dealing with emotion later • High scores of reappraisal = greater experience of positive emotions and better interpersonal functioning

  26. Experienced Emotion • 8B-11—AIM- How intense are your emotions? • High scores tend to have more complex goals and report more psycho-physiological distress symptoms • 8B-12—PANAS Scales • Positive affect and negative affect

  27. Facial Expressions • Paul Ekman • Expressions that last for less than half second and more than 5 are most likely insincere • Less symmetrical and abrupt expressions are insincere • Evolutionary? • Cross-cultural • Blind from birth display emotions same way

  28. Disgust • Scientists have discovered that those with Huntington’s Disease (neurodegenerative disease) can’t recognize facial expressions for disgust

  29. Envy/Jealousy • Handout 8B-16 • All cultures have a word for envy...it is culturally pervasive

  30. Fear • S.M.—a woman studied at the University of Iowa has a degenerative disease of the amygdala and has no fear. • Can we be ‘scared to death?’ • Yes. • Adrenaline and catecholamine

  31. Anger • Does catharsis really work? • Fried Green Tomatoes • 8B-19—Anger Discomfort Scale

  32. Sadness • Tahitians do not have words for sadness, loneliness, longing… • Perceived as a sickness (linguistic determinism?) • Also have many more words for anger and fear than English but rarely express them…does the ability to articulate emotion result in better emotional management?

  33. Happiness • Handout 8B-21—What makes you happy? • SciAm Mind: “Pursuit of Happiness” • Adaptation-level phenomenon—if you go from making $50,000/year to $500,000 your happiness will adapt as develop a new norm • Relative Deprivation—better or worse than comparison group

  34. Stress and Health • 8B-25: (SUS) • 8B-26: (Response to Stress) • 8B-29: (Type D Personality) • Circular pattern of extended stress • Cortisol • Adrenaline • Repeat

  35. Stress • The process by which we perceive and respond to certain events. • GAS (Seyle)—General Adaptation Syndrome—alarm, resistance, exhaustion

  36. Biological Perspective/Stress • Health Psychology—PNI • Psychoneuroimmunology—psychological, neural, endocrine systems effect health and immune system • Growing field

  37. Review: • Explain why we experience emotion from the 7 perspectives of psychology.
