Document Summary
Decision making and creativity: emotions in the workplace. Emotions are physiological, behavioural, and psychological episodes experienced towards an object, person, or event that create a state of readiness. This differs from moods, which aren"t directed towards anything and are longer. Evaluation (called core affect) - signalling that the perceived object or event should be approached or avoided. Negative emotions tend to have stronger levels of activation than positive emotions. Activation some emotional experiences are strong enough to consciously motivate us to act without careful thought. Attitudes represent the cluster of beliefs, feelings, and behavioural intentions toward a person, object, or event. They involve evaluation of an attitude object, whereas emotions operate as experiences, usually w/o our awareness. Beliefs these are established perceptions about the attitude object what you believe to be true. They are perceived facts that you acquire from experience. Feelings they represent your conscious +ve or ve evaluations of the attitude object.
