25
Q

circumplex structure found in studies of?

facial expressions, semantic similarity, experienced affect

26
Q

discrete emotion models have a ______ approach

A

categorical

27
Q

what does the discrete emotion models propose?

A

there is a limited set of basic discrete emotions from which more complex emotions are derived

28
Q

basic emotions =

innate, universal, irreducible , correspond to specific neurophysiological systems

29

how are compound emotions constructed?

A

constructed from 2 or more basic emotions with distinct features

30
Q

give examples of compound emotions?

happily surprised, happily disgusted

31
Q

what are the different ways of measuring affect?

32
Q

what is the most common method for measuring affect?

self report scales

33
Q

what are the disadvantages of diary studies?

requires self-awareness and understanding go emotion, items may not be relevant to ppts, socially desirable responses

34
Q

what are the advantages of diary studies?

high ecological validity, minimises memory recall problems so response less stereotyped, examines changes over time

35
Q

what dimensions does the affect grid use?

A

pleasure-displeasure, activation-sleepiness

36
Q

using physiological measures to map to specific emotions is ______

imprecise

Q

when recording facial expressions what must be overcome?

coding = complex, and must overcome suppression and faking emotions

38
Q

why may a multi method approach to measuring affect be needed?

limited convergence across methods, no gold standard measure, all types of measure relevant, choice depends on research Q

photos that have been normatively rated on dimensions of pleasure, arousal and dominance

40
Q

left, right, valence hypothesis

41
Q

peoples facial activity influences their affective response = what hypothesis?

A

facial feedback hypothesis (FFH)

42
Q

what are the 2 possible mechanisms of FFH?

A

cognitive (people make inferences about what they are feeling based on their facial expression) and physiological (affective response can occur in the absence of cognitive interpretation)

43
Q

idea that we mimic other peoples expressions without realising it =

motor mimicry

44
Q

45
Q

46
Q

emotion contagion occurs through what 2 types of processes?

Q

what factors influence contagion?
