PSY 24000 Chapter Notes - Chapter 6: Caffeine, Sexual Stimulation, Life Satisfaction
Document Summary
Conscious emotion: a powerful and clearly unified feeling state, such as anger or joy. Automatic affect: a quick response of liking or disliking toward something. Use term emotion to refer to the conscious reaction, often including a bodily response. Use affect to refer to the automatic response that something is good or bad (liking vs disliking) Affective reactions to things that are good and bad are automatic and veyr fast, happen in first microseconds of thought. Arousal: a physiological reaction, including faster heartbeat and faster or heavier breathing, linked to most conscious emotions. James-lange theory of emotion: the proposition that the bodily processes of emotion come first and the minds perception of these bodily reactions then creates the subjective feeling of emotion. One important aspect of the theory is that different emotions must arise from. But data shows that the bodys response seemed to be very similar for different emotions. Did lead to the facial feedback hypothesis tho.
