2. Emotion Emotion consists of three components:
Physiological changes – arousal of the autonomic nervous system and the endocrine system that are not conscious.
The person’s own subjective feeling of an emotion (e.g. happiness)
associated behavior, like smiling or running away.

3. Emotion
Emotions serve as a guide to evaluate how important situations, and it is not necessarily a conscious effort.
Fight or flight occurs when a perceived dangerous event or stimulus (stressor) will result in a physiological response which prepare the individual for direct action to confront the danger or avoid it, and a decision about what to do based on previous experience.
Cognitive psychologists Lazarus and Folkman have suggested that it is not the emotion that is important, but rather how people appraise the situation and cope with it.

4. Emotion
Problem-focused coping – change problematic situations that causes the emotional stress.
Emotion-focused coping – when the purpose is to handle the emotions rather than changing the problematic situation.
Methods: escape, self control over expression of emotions, seeking social support.
