Let’s try this out…
• You are camping and enjoying a nice picnic lunch. All of a sudden a bison jumps out of the woods and begins chasing you. Attack caught on tape- 1 min
• Let’s review and write out what would happen in the following theories
04/19/23 12Mollin
James Lang Theory-
Cannon Bard Theory-
Two Factor Theory-
Emotions and the Autonomic Nervous System
• Autonomic nervous system–Sympathetic nervous system
• arousing
–Parasympathetic nervous system• Calming
–Moderate arousal is ideal

Physiological Similarities Among Specific Emotions
• Different movie experiment• Four rooms with four different movies- From
control center the subjects perspiration, heart rate, and breathing were measured
• Movie 1- horror film• Movie 2- anger provoking film• Movie 3- film that evokes sexual arousal• Movie 4- “boring film”
04/19/23 17Mollin
What did this study show us?
• Very little difference in the physiological response your body has to such different emotional and cognitive responses from the different film. (Except the boring film)
04/19/23 18Mollin
Physiological Differences Among Specific Emotions
• Differences in brain activity– Amygdala- higher activity when experiencing
fear– Frontal lobes- more active when
experiencing a positive mood• Nucleus accumbens- in left frontal lobe. A
neural pathway the increases dopamine levels. Electrical stimulation in depressed patients has shown increased smiles, laughter, and giddy euphoria
04/19/23 19Mollin
Are you lying?
Polygraph- a machine, commonly used in attempts to detect lies, that measure several of the physiological responses accompanying emotion (such as perspiration and cardiovascular and breathing changes).
04/19/23 20Mollin
Don’t call me a liar…..
• Polygraphs are not very valid if you think about it
• Our physiological arousal is much the same from one emotion to another
• Many innocent people have been falsely accused because their emotions were heightened when they took the polygraph
• Many rape victims “fail” lie detectors when telling the truth about their assailants
04/19/23 Mollin 21
Does it ever work?
• No spy has never been detected by the FBI or CIA even though both agencies spend million of dollars a year testing their own employees
• The guilty knowledge test works- a person is shown photos or given certain information specific to a crime scene while on the lie detector test.
• This does show change in physiological response and can be effective.
04/19/23 Mollin 22
Cognition and EmotionCognition Can Define Emotion
• Spill over effect- emotions can spill over from one event to another. Think about the level of emotion from a major sports victory to a riot.– Schachter-Singer experiment- with adrenaline
shots• Arousal fuels emotions, cognition channels it
04/19/23 23Mollin
Detecting Emotion
• Nonverbal cues are usually enough for most of us to detect an emotion but we can often be tricked if one does not pay close attention to small details
• Lifting the inner part of your eyebrow, which is hard to consciously do reveals worry .
• Eyebrows raised and pulled together signal fear• Let’s try something out……..
04/19/23 24Mollin
Which smile is real and which one is fake?
04/19/23 Mollin 25
The smile on the right is real
04/19/23 Mollin 26
Gender, Emotion, and Nonverbal Behavior.. Which person is a male or a female?
04/19/23 27Mollin
The faces are gender neutral
• But…. People were more likely to view the face on the left as male because it looks more angry
04/19/23 Mollin 28
So what does this mean?
• Your gender interprets how you view others emotion
• It is normal to want to empathize with people to interpret their emotions and that empathy is based on your own gender and biases
04/19/23 Mollin 29
Here is an example
• The following chart comes from a study that measured how many facial expressions a viewer displayed by watching different films.
• As you will see it shows that women show their emotions more easily and guys are harder to read
04/19/23 Mollin 30
See for yourself…
04/19/23 Mollin 31
Culture and Emotional Expression: Are nonverbal expressions of emotions
universally understood?• The meaning of gestures varies with culture• Many of our facial expression displays rules
and are evident throughout cultures• Let’s take a look at the next slide and see how
we do…
04/19/23 Mollin 32
• From left to right, top to bottom: happiness, surprise, fear, sadness, anger, disgust
04/19/23 Mollin 33
How does the culture effect how one displays emotion?
• Cultures that encourage individuality like U.S display visible emotions
• In Chinese cultures, which encourage people to adjust to others, personal emotions are much less visibly displayed
04/19/23 Mollin 34
Let’s see how well we do when interpreting others facial expressions and
emotions• Facial Expression Test• Reading Faces Test• I will now pause this clip and want to see if we
can come up with a consensus on what each of you think the emotion is
What would you do Clip

The Effects of Facial Expressions
• Facial feedback
04/19/23 40Mollin
Some more examples of the effects of facial feedback
• One study used Botox injections to paralyze the frowning muscles of 10 depressed patients. Two months later, 9 out of 10 non frowning patients were no longer depressed.
• This study needs more replication to be validated
04/19/23 Mollin 41
The psychology of fear
04/19/23 Mollin 42
What is the function of fear?
• Fear is adaptive. It’s an alarm system that prepares our body to flee from danger
man texts into a bear• Fear can bind groups together• Fear helps us focus on a problem and rehearse
coping strategies
04/19/23 Mollin 43
How is fear learned?
• Observational Learning is a major factor• The Amygdala- Nerves running out of from these
knots of neural tissue, one on either side of the brain’s center, carry messages that control heart rate, sweating, stress hormones and attention that rev up in threatening situations
04/19/23 Mollin 44
Amygdala and Fear
• Rabbits learn to react with fear to a tone that precedes an impending small shock unless their Amygdala is damaged.
• Rat’s that have their Amygdala deactivated show no fear learning
• Humans with damage to the Amygdala can sometimes not even experience fear!
• Amygdala and Fear Clips- 7 min (safari)

Anger
04/19/23 Mollin 48
Anger
– Evoked by events, often times the anger is worst the event that “caused" it
– Catharsis– Expressing anger can increase anger– Can lead to heart disease

04/19/23 54Mollin
Let’s look at some research
• European 8-12 year olds with cerebral palsy experience normal psychological well being
• Studies show it takes about five weeks after being diagnosed with HIV to feel much less emotionally distraught
• Is happiness really just a state of mind?• Do we place to much emphasis on our environments
role in happiness?

The End
Definition Slides
Emotion
= a response of the whole organism, involving (1) physiological arousal, (2) expressive behaviors, and (3) conscious experience.
04/19/23 72Mollin
James-Lange Theory
= the theory that our experience of emotion is our awareness of our physiological responses to emotion-arousing stimuli.
04/19/23 73Mollin
Cannon-Bard Theory
= the theory that an emotion-arousing stimulus simultaneously triggers (1) physiological responses and (2) the subjective experience of emotion.
04/19/23 74Mollin
Two-factor Theory
= the Schachter-Singer theory that to experience emotion one must (1) be physically aroused and (2) cognitively label the arousal.
• This is very similar to Cannon Bard theory except this time a cognitive appraisal or thought needs to trigger the emotional response
04/19/23 75Mollin
Polygraph
= a machine, commonly used in attempts to detect lies, that measure several of the physiological responses accompanying emotion (such as perspiration and cardiovascular and breathing changes).
04/19/23 76Mollin
Facial Feedback
= the effect of facial expressions on experienced emotions, as when a facial expression of anger or happiness intensifies feelings of anger or happiness.
• For example: The woman was asked to touch the golf tees together forcing her to frown.
• When showed scenes of war, sickness, and start without the tees a level of sadness was reported.
• That level of sadness was increased when the scenes were shown with the artificial frown
04/19/23 77Mollin
Catharsis
= emotional release. The catharsis hypothesis maintains that “releasing’ aggressive energy (through action or fantasy) relieves aggressive urges.
• Expressing anger can sometimes calm us down but only if the anger is directed against the provoker, it is justified, the target is not intimidating and little guild is felt afterwards
04/19/23 78Mollin
Feel-Good Do-Good Phenomenon
= people’s tendency to be helpful when already in a good mood.
04/19/23 79Mollin
Well-being
= self-perceived happiness or satisfaction with life. Used along with measures of objective well-being (for example, physical and economic indicators) to evaluate people’s quality of life.
04/19/23 80Mollin
Adaptation-level Phenomenon
= our tendency to form judgments (of sounds, of lights, of income) relative to a neutral level defined by our prior experience.
• We adapt to our current level of achievement or happiness, consider it normal, and require something better to have another surge of happiness
• Consider getting a new t.v (surge), getting a raise (surge). Having the surge wear off and wanting more
04/19/23 81Mollin
Relative Deprivation
= the perception that we are worse off relative to those with whom we compare ourselves.
• Consider: Alex Rodriguez signed a 10 year 275 million dollar contract. Another player would then feel bad about their 20 million dollar contract who played the same position
04/19/23 82Mollin
Behavioral Medicine
= an interdisciplinary field that integrates behavior and medical knowledge and applies that knowledge to health and disease..
• Health psychology is a branch of behavioral medicine
04/19/23 83Mollin
Health Psychology
= a subfield of psychology that provides psychology's contribution to behavioral medicine.
• Asks: How do our emotions and personality influence our risk of disease?
• What attitudes and behaviors help prevent illness and promote health and well being?
04/19/23 84Mollin
Stress
= the process by which we perceive and respond to certain events, called stressors, that we appraise as threatening or challenging.
04/19/23 85Mollin
General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS)
= Selye’s concept of the body’s adaptive response to stress in three phases
Stage One- Alarm- Mobilize resources- you experience an alarm reaction due to the sudden activation of your sympathetic nervous system
Stage Two- Resistance- Cope with stressor- Your temperature, blood pressure and respiration remain high
Stage Three- Exhaustion- Reserves depleted- Now you are more vulnerable to illness, or even in extreme cases collapse or death
04/19/23 86Mollin
Coronary Heart Disease
= the clogging of the vessels that nourish the heart muscle; the leading cause of death in North America.
• Correlation between prolonged stress and heart disease
04/19/23 87Mollin
Type A
= Friedman and Rosenman’s term for competitive, hard-driving, impatient, verbally aggressive, and anger-prone people.
04/19/23 88Mollin
Type B
= Friedman and Rosenman’s term for easygoing, relaxed people.
04/19/23 89Mollin
Psychophysiological Illness
= literally, “mind-body” illness; any stress-related physical illness, such as hypertension and some headaches.
04/19/23 90Mollin
Psychoneuroimmunology (PNI)
= the study of how psychological, neural, and endocrine processes together affect the immune system and resulting health.
04/19/23 91Mollin
Lymphocytes
= the two types of white blood cells that are part of the body’s immune system; B lymphocytes form in the bone marrow and release antibodies that fight bacterial infections; T lymphocytes form in the thymus and other lymphatic tissue and attack cancer cells, viruses, and foreign substances.
