Chapter 13: Emotion AP Psychology

What is emotion? Emotions – A response of the whole organism involving physiological arousal, expressive behaviors, and conscious experience, including thoughts and feelings Debate: Chicken or the egg? Emotion question #1: Does physiological arousal come before or after the emotional experience? Emotion question #2: Does cognition (thinking) always come before the emotion?

Theories of Emotion James-Lange theory – theory that our experience of emotion is our awareness of our physiological responses to emotion-arousing stimuli We feel emotion because of biological changes (physiological changes cause emotion) Example: Your car slides on ice and you struggle to regain control. You notice your heart racing after the incident. Fear follows the body’s response.

Theories of Emotion Cannon-Bard theory - an emotion-arousing stimulus simultaneously triggers physiological responses and the subjective experience of emotion Example: Your heart begins to pound as you experience fear One does not cause the other

Theories of Emotion Two-factor theory – the Schachter- Singer theory that to experience emotion one must be physically aroused and cognitively label the arousal Emotional experience requires a conscious interpretation of the arousal

Emotion & the Autonomic Nervous System Emotion definitely involves the body. Autonomic Nervous System controls physiological arousal Sympathetic division prepares the body for action (arousal) Releases epinephrine (adrenaline) & norepinephrine (noradrenaline) Parasympathetic division calms the body down Acetylcholine

Emotion & the Autonomic Nervous System

The Brain and Emotion Amygdala - (limbic system) processes fear Active with recognition of emotional expressions Information passes through the cortex straight through to the amygdala Interacts with the hypothalamus to send signals to release hormones Damage to the amygdala = no fear & trouble reading emotions

The Brain and Emotion Left Hemisphere: Positive emotions People show more left frontal lobe activity when they experience positive moods. Many dopamine receptors Right Hemisphere: Negative emotions Depression-prone people and people with negative personalities show more right frontal activity

Arousal and Performance We perform best when we feel moderately aroused. The level of arousal varies for different tasks. Performance peaks at lower levels of arousal for difficult tasks and higher levels for easy or well-learned tasks.

Cognition can define emotion Spillover Effect – (Schachter & Singer) Our arousal response to one event spills over into our response to the next event. If you just finished running, then you receive exciting news, does the arousal from the run spill over into the new excitement about the good news? Arousal from a soccer match can fuel anger, which can descend into rioting or other violent confrontations Arousal fuels emotion: cognition channels it

Cognition Does Not Always Precede Emotion Robert Zajonc – We sometimes experience emotional reactions apart from or even before we interpret a situation Some emotions take the “low road” (shortcut) via neural pathways that bypass the cortex Causes a quick reaction often outside of our conscious awareness Example – see snake, message sent directly to amygdala for quicker response before intellect takes over

Cognitive Appraisal Theory Richard Lazarus - Some emotional responses do not require conscious thinking, but even instantaneously felt emotions require some sort of appraisal of the situation This quick appraisal may be effortless, we may not be conscious of it, but it is still a mental function that happens Emotions arise when we appraise an event as beneficial or harmful to our well-being, whether we truly know it or not

Lie Detection Polygraphs (lie detectors) - measure physical responses that may indicate a person is lying (changes in breathing, cardiovascular activity, perspiration) Response to critical questions compared to response to control questions Two problems: Our physiological arousal is much the same from one emotion to another Lie detectors err about 1/3 of the time, especially when innocent people respond with heightened tension to the accusations implied by relevant questions

Nonverbal Communication We’re good at detecting nonverbal threats. An angry face will “pop out” in a crowd faster than a happy one. We read fear and anger mostly from the eyes, and happiness from the mouth. Introverts are better at reading others’ emotions; extroverts are easier to read Experience can sensitize us to particular emotions.

Gender, Emotion, and Nonverbal Behavior Women generally are: better at reading people’s emotional cues better at spotting lies more emotionally responsive in both positive & negative situations have greater emotional literacy more likely to describe themselves as emphatic more likely to express empathy

Detecting & Computing Emotion Hard-to-control facial muscles reveal signs of emotions you may be trying to conceal Most people find it difficult to detect deceiving expressions Eckman & O’Sullivan – found they could teach researchers to watch for signs of lying Our brains can easily detect subtle expressions

Culture and Emotional Expression Facial expressions are somewhat universal, but people differ in how much emotion they express The meaning of gestures varies Children all over the world cry, laugh, smile, etc. Even isolated groups of people share universal facial expressions. Facial expressions even among the blind are universal. Evolutionary Psychology: Prehistoric ancestors without detailed languages had to rely on facial expressions to survive

Which emotion is it? • Anger • Disgust • Fear • Happiness • Sadness • Surprise

The Effects of Facial Expression William James – We can control emotions by going “through the outward movements” of any emotion we want to experience Expressions not only communicate emotion, they also amplify and regulate it. People instructed to mold their faces in ways that express other basic emotions also experienced those emotions Facial feedback - When a facial expression intensifies emotional feelings
