PROCESS
•Purple diagram on the right.
•Antecedent is anything that happens before
the real event in question. Eg. The ride
example, the antecedent is the ride rising up.
•Secondary appraisals involve ‘what can I do
about this?’ but they are not always
conscious. ‘do I want this event to stop or
continue and how am I going to go about
doing so’
•Paper below. Excellent comprehensive
covering of what the cognitive approach
to emotion involves.
•Timeline of how emotions change over
lifetime etc.
•Don’t necessarily stay in a mood for days
or week or months but you can return to
it; it’s the climate of the mood.

Do i want this event to stop or continue and how am i going to go about doing so": paper below. As one system changes, any system associated with it also has to change. Novel forms of (emotional) functioning arise through the spontaneous coordination of components interacting with each other repeatedly: in these interactions, specific cognitions, emotional feelings, and physiological events tend to link more closely with each repeated occasion, forming coherent.
