Emotions:
Why do we have emotions ?
There's a reason we all have a wide range of emotions: we need them. Emotions
help us to communicate with others, such as when we feel sad and need some help.
They also can help us to act quickly in important situations.
Definition
There is no single, universally accepted definition of emotion.
Emotions are generally understood to be complex psychological states that involve
cognitive, physiological, and behavioral responses to internal and external stimuli.
These responses can vary in intensity and duration, and can be expressed in a
variety of ways, including facial expressions, body language, and verbal
communication.
What different types
Classified into primary emotions and secondary emotions:
Primary:
Happiness
Sadness

, Anger
Fear
Disgust
Secondary:
To a large extent, genetics may be responsible for the development of the primary
emotions. However, social and cultural influences shape the subsequent experience
of emotions.
A culturally specific example is the appropriateness of emotions in certain situations.
Anger is either manifested (e.g., rage) or controlled. Social roles shape emotional
behavior even further (e.g., “boys shouldn’t cry”).
Function
Autonomic nervous system is really linked to emotions so emotions trigger
sometimes the autonomic system
Broaden and build theory on positive emotion - barabara

Theories:
Canon-Bard theory
Physiologic and cognitive responses to stimuli occur simultaneously and
independently → behavioral reaction
This model can explain the overlap in physiologic states between emotions (e.g.,
fear and sexual arousal).
This theory cannot explain the phenomenon in which a behavioral response
influences the physical and cognitive aspects of emotion (e.g., smiling leads to
happiness).
