Document Summary

Discrete models: emotions are categorical or different from each other, a profile of physiological cognitive neurological experiences and subjective feelings the profile always represents that emotion. Functionalist models: unconcerned if emotions are categorical or different from each other, more interested in the desire/ motivation to take action emotions make you want to start/ continue/ stop/ change activity. Cognitive models: slightly interested in motivation how does the emotion develop, the process. Primary appraisal: fun secondary appraisal: naming it as fun, thinking that you are happy and wanting the activity to continue is a narrative (process, not singular experience) cohesive story is a sequenced order of internal events. Emotion: informs how we respond to stimuli influences how we communicate with others. Dynamic models: opposite to discrete model emotions have all of these elements, and it is the relationship between the element that defines the emotion.
