Reminder: No class Monday, but we meet here on both Tuesday and Wednesday next week.
Index Card Assignment due Tuesday: When was the last time you got really angry at someone? Who was it with? What did you do? How did they react?
- emotions most often occur when we are with other people
- emotions most often occur in close relationships
- it is difficult to disentangle events from our interpretations
- Appraisal theories
- Some common concerns
- physical well being
- knowing what is going on
- maintaining relationship ties
- acheiving goals
- more generally, concerns are things we value
- concerns habituate as they become familiar
- emotion often declines as we move from novelty to familiarity
- appraisal unfolds over time
- primary appraisal (first impression)
- secondary appraisal
- thinking about things
- moving beyond novelty
- getting used to a state of affairs
- working through their implications
- involves
- knowledge
- beliefs
- experiences
- plans
- sense of self and others
- emotion is social
- conversation and appraisal
- conversation is about
- something new
- maintaining relationships
- exploring
- avoiding silence
- we can evoke emotions when we are poor conversationalists
- poor listeners
- interruptive
- self-involved
- emotion is grounded in the fate of personal goals
- emotion entails complex physiological changes
- there is no magical biochemical emotion detector
- physiological reactions can be slow
- the same reactions can occur under very different circumstances
- and yet they clearly play a role in our emotion and behavior
- associating action with emotion can be difficult
- the signs aren't always entirely clear
- but we do have persistent action tendencies
- regulation isn't a distinct component
- it occurs as an interaction effect in all of the other component areas
- precipitating events (objects, causes)
- appraisal
- physiological changes
- expression (action tendencies, action)
Emotional experience does not equal emotional behavior
- "having an emotion and feeling an emotion are not the same thing"
- Experience is inside us
- We may not signal it to the outside
We should value our emotions.
