Document Summary
Thought and emotion are simultaneous and complementary. Short term (usually only lasting a couple minutes) Orient us away from harm and towards benefits (e. g. food, sex, etc. ) Benefits to well-being are experienced as positive emotions (happiness, joy, pride, relief) Anger is when something happens that we don"t want to happen. Tell us what we should keep doing and what to avoid/stop doing. Love is emotional, but not an emotion. Unwritten rules in what is proper to be publicly expressed. Biology is more important in experiencing emotion. Culture is more important in expressing emotion. Lots of hesitation in speech; speak slower, more umms". People tend to put too much weight on verbal info. (i. e. any signs of nervousness = lying) Get fooled by signs of warmth, competence, etc. (smooth talkers) Motivation: factors that initiate, maintain, and direct behaviors towards some goal. Every day that we live, we are motivated to survive. Suicidal people are motivated not to live.
