Emotion emotion is characterized by neural and physiological responses, subjective feelings, cognitions related to those feelings, and the desire to take action. Theories on the nature and emergence of emotion. Differential (discrete) emotions theory a theory about emotions, held by. Some argue that infants experience only excitement and distress in the first weeks of life, and that other emotions emerge at later ages as a function of experience. Sroufe says there are three basic affect systems joy/pleasure, anger/frustration, and wariness/fear that undergo developmental change from primitive to more advanced forms during the early years of life. Functionalist approach a theory of emotion, proposed by campos and others, that argues that the basic function of emotions is to promote action toward achieving a goal. In this view, emotions are not discrete from one another and vary somewhat based on the social environment.
