The more the newborn is touched by its parents, the healthier the kid is in terms of physical health and long-term mental health. It"s the psychological side of making us do more of the things that are good for us, and less of the things that are bad for us. There is a number of systems people use for making sense of the different emotions: Dimensional approach: classify emotions in terms of whether they are positive or negative. Basic emotional research: researchers have gone to remote areas to see if basic emotions are known even to these isolated places. Micromomentary expression occurs when a person is experiencing emotion but they"re trying to cover it up. James-lange theory: stimulus that"s then followed by the behavior, when then results in the feeling of the emotion; feeling follows behavior. Argued that everything was mediated by the brain. Behavior and feeling occurs at the same time. Stanley schachter: also thinks james" model is wrong.
