Marshmallow tower building What type of emotions did you experience during this activity? What type of physiological responses did you have to this activity?

4 components of emotion Interpret, appraise some stimulus (ex. Shark = serious threat) Experience a feeling (fear, terror) Physiological response (heart rate or breathing change) Show observable behaviors (cry, panic, freeze)

Physiological Theories There is a large debate on the order that the four basic components occur in. Therefore, we have different theories on Emotion: Physiological Theories 2. Cognitive Theories

Physiological Theories of Emotion Main Belief – Emotions derive from physical changes in the body Physiological changes MAY NOT CAUSE emotions but they certainly increase their intensity. i.e. fear heightened when heart races (panic attack)

Cognitive Theories of Emotion Main Belief – Emotions result from mental processes and physiological changes working together *DO NOT PUT THIS IN YOUR NOTES, BUT WE WILL DISCUSS EACH OF THESE THEORIES IN THE NEXT CLASS. JUST WANTED TO GIVE YOU A HEADS UP!
