Document Summary
Module 2 individual: perception, personality, emotions, and stereotypes. Affect is a generic term that covers both emotions and moods. Emotions are intense feelings directed at someone or something. Moods are less intense feelings than emotions and often (though not always) arise without a specific event acting as a stimulus. Emotions are reactions to a person (seeing a friend at work may make you feel glad) or an event (dealing with a rude client may make you feel frustrated). Moods, in contrast, aren"t usually directed at a person or an event. You can"t attribute this feeling to any single event; you"re just not your normal self. turn into moods when you lose focus on the event or object that started the feeling. Affect: defined as a broad range of feelings that people experience, affect can be experienced in the form of emotions or moods.
