They are grouped by few criteria
Motivation
is a need or desire that serves to energize behavior and to direst it toward a goal
Theories of motivationInstincts
Drive-reduction theoryOptimum arousal
The Secondary Emotions
The cognitive interpretations that accompany emotions—known as cognitive appraisal—allow us to experience a much larger and more complex set of secondary emotions.
Emotions and motivation
involve arousal, our experiences of the bodily responses created by the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system (ANS). “hot”—they “charge,” “drive,” or “move” our behavior
Emotions or strong motivations
the sympathetic nervous system provides us with energy to respond to our environmentthe liver puts extra sugar into the bloodstream, the heart pumps more blood, respiration increases, we begin to perspire to cool the body.
The stress hormones epinephrine and norepinephrine are released
The Two-Factor Theory of Emotion
• James-LangeAccording to the James-Lange theory of emotion, our experience of an emotion is the result of the
arousal that we experience.
Schachter & Singer the experience of emotion is determined by the intensity of the arousal we are experiencing, but that the cognitive appraisal of the situation determines what the emotion will be. an arousal factor and a cognitive factor
Emotion = arousal + cognition
Conclusions• Emotions are the normally adaptive mental and
physiological feeling states that direct our attention and guide our behavior.
• Emotional states are accompanied by arousal, our experiences of the bodily responses created by the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system.
• Motivations are forces that guide behavior. They can be biological, such as hunger and thirst; personal, such as the motivation for achievement; or social, such as the motivation for acceptance and belonging.
Conclusions• The most fundamental emotions, known as
the basic emotions, are those of anger, disgust, fear, happiness, sadness, and surprise.
• Cognitive appraisal allows us to also experience a variety of secondary emotions According to the Cannon-Bard theory of emotion, the experience of an emotion is accompanied by physiological arousal.
Conclusions• According to the two-factor theory of emotion, the
experience of emotion is determined by the intensity of the arousal we are experiencing, and the cognitive appraisal of the situation determines what the emotion will be.
• When people incorrectly label the source of the arousal that they are experiencing, we say that they have misattributed their arousal.
• We express our emotions to others through nonverbal behaviors, and we learn about the emotions of others by observing them.
