Emotional responses can be broken down into the 3 R’s? What are the 3 R’s
Reactivity
Recovery
Regulation
Affective chronometry
Describes the time course of an emotional response
Emotion reactivity
The type, magnitude , and duration of initial emotional response to internal and external environment and have significance for personal goals

Emotional expressive behavior
Peripheral physiology
Overt behavior
Emotional language
Types of self reported emotional experience
Questionnaires
Ecological monumental assessment (EMA)
Narrative methods
Daily reconstructions
Types of responses

Pros and cons
Pros: can be a good compromise ; remains dependent on the follow-up questions
Con: takes a lot of time ; people tend to report fewer events if you make them do this often
Types of emotional expressive behavior
Facial expressions (ex: FACS coding )
Whole body expressions
Types of overt behavior
Choice behavior
Emotion related actions (running away, yelling)
Emotion Influenced actions (liking of a neutral face , attention to scary stimulus )
Most animal studies of emotion use __________
Overt behavior
