27
Q

a stimulus leads to activity in the brain, which
then sends signals to arouse the body and
interpret the emotion at the same time.

A

Cannon-Bard Theory of Emotion

28
Q

who are the Physiologists that theorized that the emotion and the physiological arousal occur more or less
at the same time.

A

Walter Cannon (1927) and Philip
Bard (1934)

29
Q

Bard expanded on this idea by stating that the sensory information that comes into the brain is sent simultaneously (by the thalamus) to both
the cortex and the organs of the sympathetic nervous system. The fear and the bodily reactions are, therefore, experienced at the same time

A

Cannon-Bard Theory of Emotion

30
Q

“I’m shaking and feeling afraid at the same time.” (STIMULUS = ANS/BODILY AROUSAL + EMOTION)

A

Cannon-Bard Theory of Emotion

31
Q

a critic of Cannon-Bard Theory of Emotion and stated that the thalamus would have to be pretty sophisticated to make sense of all the possible human emotions and relay them to the proper areas of the cortex and body

A

Lashley (1938)

32
Q

both the physical arousal and the labeling of that arousal based on cues from the environment must occur before the emotion is experienced

A

Cognitive Arousal Theory of Emotion

33
Q

similar to the James-Lange theory but adds the element of cognitive labeling of the arousal

A

Schachter-Singer Cognitive Arousal Theory of Emotion

34
Q

a stimulus leads to both bodily arousal and the labeling of that arousal (based on the surrounding context), which leads to the experience and labeling of the emotional reaction

A

Schachter-Singer Cognitive Arousal Theory of Emotion

35
Q

two things have to happen before emotion occurs: the physical arousal and a labeling of the arousal based on cues from the surrounding environment. These two things happen at the same time, resulting in the labeling of the emotion

A

Schachter-Singer Cognitive Arousal Theory of Emotion

36
Q

stimulus + (ans/bodily arousal + cognitive appraisal) = emotion

A

Schachter-Singer Cognitive Arousal Theory of Emotion

37
Q

“This snarling dog is dangerous and that makes me feel afraid.”

A

Schachter-Singer Cognitive Arousal Theory of Emotion

38
Q

Smile, You’ll Feel Better

A

Facial Feedback Hypothesis

39
Q

facial expressions provide feedback to the brain concerning the emotion being expressed, which in turn causes and intensifies the emotion

A

Facial Feedback Hypothesis

40
Q

a stimulus such as this snarling dog causes arousal and a facial expression. The facial expression then provides feedback to the brain about the emotion. The brain then interprets the emotion and may also intensify it

A

Facial Feedback Hypothesis

41
Q

stimulus + (ans arousal in face + facial expression + cognitive interpretation of the facial interpretation) = emotion

A

Facial Feedback Hypothesis

42
Q

a stimulus must be interpreted (appraised) by a person in order to result in a physical response and an emotional reaction

A

Cognitive Mediational Theory or Lazarus’s Cognitive-Mediational Theory of Emotion

43
Q

a stimulus causes an immediate
appraisal (e.g., “The dog is snarling and
not behind a fence, so this is dangerous”).
The cognitive appraisal results in an
emotional response, which is then followed
by the appropriate bodily response.

A

Cognitive Mediational Theory or Lazarus’s Cognitive-Mediational Theory of Emotion

44
Q

stimulus + appraisal + emotion = ans/bodily response

A

Lazarus’s Cognitive-Mediational Theory of Emotion

Q

Lazarus’ cognitive-mediational theory
facial feedback hypothesis
James-Lange theory of emotion
Cannon-Bard theory of emotion
Schachter-Singer cognitive arousal theory of emotion

A

5 theory on emotions

46
Q

suggests that physiological arousal and the actual interpretation of that arousal based on cues from the environment must occur before the emotion itself is experienced

A

Schachter-Singer Cognitive Arousal Theory of Emotion

47
Q

suggests that emotion and physiological arousal occur simultaneously

A

Cannon-Bard Theory of Emotion

48
Q

suggests that specific stimuli result in physical arousal and leads to labeling of the emotion

A

James-Lange Theory of Emotion

49
Q

suggests that facial expressions (and other behaviors) provide feedback to the brain that can intensify or cause a specific emotion

A

Facial Feedback Hypothesis

50
Q

places the emphasis on the cognitive appraisal and interpretation of the stimulus that causes the emotional reaction

A

Cognitive Mediational Theory or Lazarus’s Cognitive-Mediational Theory of Emotion

51
Q

The Latin root word mot, meaning _ is the source of both of the words we use
in this chapter over and over again, motive and emotion.

A

“to move”

52
Q

Physically, when a person experiences an emotion, an is created by the

A

sympathetic nervous system

53
Q

The heart rate increases, breathing becomes more rapid, the pupils dilate, and the mouth may become dry.

A

The Physiology of Emotion

54
Q

_ are difficult to distinguish from one another on the basis of physiological reactions alone.

A

EMOTIONS

55
Q

a small area located within the limbic system on each side
of the brain, is associated with emotions such as fear and pleasure in both humans and
animals

A

amygdala

56
Q

There are facial expressions, body movements, and actions that
indicate to others how a person _.

A

feels

57
Q

_ EXPRESSIONS can vary across different cultures, although some aspects of fa-
cial expression seem to be universal.

A

FACIAL EXPESSIONS

58
Q

the labeling process is a matter of retrieving memories of previous similar experiences, perceiving the context of the emotion, and coming up with a solution—a label.

A

COGNITIVE ELEMENT

59
Q

what theory states is the arousal of the “fight-or-flight” sympathetic nervous system (wanting to run), produces bodily sensations such as increased heart rate, dry mouth, and rapid breathing.

A

James-Lange Theory of Emotion

60
Q

“I am afraid because I am aroused,”, “I am embarrassed because my face is red,” “I am nervous because my stomach is fluttering,” and “I am in love because my heart rate increases when I look at her (or him).”

A

James-Lange Theory of Emotion

61
Q

who wrote The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals

A

CHARLES DARWIN

62
Q

process facial muscles send msgs to the brain abt the basic emotion being expressed

A

facial feedback

63
Q

stated that facial expressions evolved as a way of communicating intentions, such as threat or fear, and that these expressions are universal within a species rather than specific to a culture.

A

CHARLES DARWIN

64
Q

He also believed (as in the James-Lange theory) that when such emotions are expressed freely on the face, the
emotion itself intensifies—meaning that the more one smiles, the happier one feels.

A

CHARLES DARWIN

65
Q

One of the more modern versions of cognitive emotion theories

A

Cognitive Mediational Theory or Lazarus’s Cognitive-Mediational Theory of Emotion

66
Q

in this theory, the most important aspect of any emotional experience is how the person interprets or appraises the stimulus that causes the emotional reaction

A

Cognitive Mediational Theory or Lazarus’s Cognitive-Mediational Theory of Emotion

67
Q

to mediate means to “come between”and in this theory the cognitive appraisal mediates by coming between the stimulus and the emotional response to that stimulus
