Up down up down. moods: pervasive or lasting feelings that range from bad to good. More gradual responses, slowly moving out of things. Basic emotions: common or primary feelings that are experienced universally. Discrete emotions: theres so many different emotions for each type. For what we are feeling will change our behavior. Ex: i feel surprised so i react differently than when i feel loved. Blended emotions: like feeling two emotions like joy and surprise. If circumstances are favorable, we are feeling good, happy. Self perceptions of emotion: people"s own awareness of how they feel. Sometimes hard because cant always tell what emotion we are feeling, like cant place a name on it. physiology of emotion: physical changes that occur in conjunction with feelings. Ex: when we feel stress, heart rate goes up, start sweating.
