THE SCIENCEOF EMOTION
Exploring the Basics
of Emotional Psychology
,INTRODUCTION
How we interpret and respond to the world around
us makes up who we are and contributes to our
quality of life. The study of emotional psychology
allows researchers to dive into what makes humans
react as they do to certain stimuli and how those
reactions affect us both physically and mentally.
While the study of emotional psychology is vast
and complex, researchers have discovered quite a
bit about what constitutes our emotions and our
behavioral and physical reactions to them.
