PSY 100 Lecture 12: 10/5/16: Emotion
Document Summary
Expressive behaviors (i. e. walking a little faster) Conscious experience (i. e. being paranoid and being afraid) Arousal comes before emotion (i. e. we are sad because we cry) Physiological experience before the feeling of the emotion. Arousal and emotion have to occur simultaneously. We get a lot of information from the eyes of others (window to the soul) We can gather information from tiny details (i. e. watching a short video of people interacting for about ten seconds and were able to determine if they were attracted to each other) Research shows that we are primed quickly to negative emotions (to protect yourself) Introverts tend to excel at reading others" emotions. Extraverts are generally easier to read because they are typically more expressive. Not as good at picking up emotional information when its not face-to-face. Context matters (body language + facial expression + surroundings)
