Q

cognitive perspective of emotions

A

schatcher-singers cognitve label theory, misattribution of arousal, facilitate romantic attraction

22
Q

schatcher-singer congitive label theory

A

human brain is like computer, stimulus causes generalized arousal, brain searches reason for arousal, brain creates cognitive label, once labeled, specific emotion is experienced

23
Q

misattribution of arousal

A

tricking the mind like schatcher-singer theory

24
Q

can misattribution of arousal facilitate romantic attraction

A

Dutton and Aaron, pleasant v unpleasant arousal

25
Q

aualia

A

primitive subjective experience of affect that not fully describable

26
Q

emotions in brain

A

cortex and interior parts of brain

27
Q

networks in brain

A

communication among regions; 3-D representations of emotions; patterns are constantly changing as are experiences of emotions

28
Q

epileptic aura

A

psychological changes that precede seizures and involve emotional felling, occur in interior of brain, range of emotions and have accompanying facial expressions

29
Q

emotion education

A

process by which children learn to label their affective feelings, people label situations and childs facial expressions and childs behavior; labels attach to childs affective behavior

30
Q

A

when internal reaction to stimulus is shared between 2 individuals

31
Q

intensity and duration of emotions

A

emotions vary in intensity, duration, valence (+, -)

32
Q

law of change

A

greater stimuli changes produce stronger emotions

33

A

emotion stimulus repeatedly elicits same emotion provided that person hasn’t habituated to stimulus

34
Q

honeymoon effect

A

high passion occurs early in marriage/early in romantic relationship; passion declines with length of marriage due to partner habituating to stimulus characteristic of other partner

35
Q

function of arousal

A

heart rate, blood pressure, electodermal responses (perspirations), and muscle tension; assume each specific affective feelings has a unique profile of aroused physiological response associated with it. major differences occur between + and - emotions

36
Q

body maps of emotions

A

attempts to localize emotions based on where the emotions is felt most intensely; specific emotions are perceived more weakly/strongly in certain body areas (disgust felt in stomach, love felt in heart)

37
Q

pattern classification analysis

emotion inducing stimulus produce different physiological response patterns, different patterns represent different emotions, some create confusion (anger v fear), implies emotion differentiation is possible without complete physiological pattern specificity

38
Q

cognitive arousal theory

A

affect depends on interpretation of ones physiological arousal as based on information extracted from the emotion situation

39
Q

excitation transfer

A

experiments in which physiological arousal induced from one source influence emotional experience and behavior induced from another source

40
Q

example of excitation transfer

A

male physiological arousal increased by running, afterward men evaluate women model; arousal increased attraction for attractive female, arousal decreased attraction for unattractive female

41
Q

theory of constructed emotions

A

brain constructs an emotion from general pattern of physiological responses in current situations and memory of prior experiences constructed emotions= pattern of arousal + situation + memory

42
Q

cannons theory of arousal

A

physiological/arousal is organisms preparedness for emergency responses (flight/fight)

43
Q

emergency response
