negative.
ⶠEmotions influence behavior
.

10. Basic Emotions
ⶠEkman's findings have led some to propose that there are a set of
basic emotions that are shared cross culturally and that combine to
make up more complex emotions.
Basic Emotions
ï Happiness
ï Sadness
ï Fear
ï Anger
ï Surprise
ï Disgust
There can be combined to yield more complex emotions like-

16. Cannon-Bard Theory
Walter B. Cannon and
Phillip Bard
questioned the James-
Lange Theory and
proposed that an
emotion-triggering
stimulus and the
body's arousal take
place simultaneously.
1871-1945
1898-1977
16
17. James-Lange Theory
William James
(Eminence = 14th) and
Carl Lange proposed
an idea that was
diametrically opposed
to the common-sense
view. The James-Lange
Theory proposes that
physiological activity
precedes the emotional
experience.
1842-1910
1834 -1900
15
18. Two-Factor Theory
Stanley Schachter and
Jerome Singer
proposed yet another
theory which suggests
our physiology and
cognitions create
emotions. Emotions
have two factorsâ
physical arousal and
cognitive label.
1922-1977
17
19. Facial feedback Hypothesis
ⶠItissimilar to the James-Lange Theory.
ⶠA hypothesis indicating that facial expression can produce changes
in emotional state.
ⶠIt says that we determine our emotions by sensing whether we are
smiling or frowning.
ⶠThis suggests that people might be happier if they would just smile
more...!
19
20. Opponent-Process Theory
ⶠEmotional reactions to a stimulus are followed by an opposite
reaction; repeated exposure to a stimulus causes the initial reaction
to weaken and the opponent process ( opposite reaction ) to
strengthen.

Stimulus Guilt
Delight
21. Emotional Set Point Theory
ⶠSome recent research has shown that how happy or unhappy you
are on average may not be a function of what happens to you.
ⶠAccording to emotional set point theory our happiness is
determined by a Biological Set Point ( perhaps innate ) and
average happiness always returns to that set point.
21
22. Why does this occur ?
ⶠAdaptation Level Principle: Emotions are relative to our current
state.
ⶠRelative Deprivation Principle: Compare your state to those of others
in your social group.
ⶠThe pessimistic view of this finding: It does not matter what you do,
you are never going to be any happier with your life than you are
right now.
ⶠThe optimistic view of this finding: Happiness is more a matter to how
you feels events in your life than the events themselves. If you want
to be happier than you are now, you should change your outlook
on events.
22
23. The Biological Basis of Emotion
ⶠRight cerebral hemisphere plays important role in emotional
functions. Right hemisphere is specialized for processing emotional
information.
ⶠActivation of the left cerebral hemisphere is associated with positive
affect.
ⶠActivation of the right cerebral hemisphere is associated with
negative affect.
ⶠActivation of anterior portion of both hemisphere is associated with
Valence (pleasantness/unpleasantness) of emotion.
ⶠActivation of the posterior portion of both hemisphere is associated
with Arousal-the intensity of emotion.
23
24. Emotional Processing & The Brain
Modern affective neuroscience focuses on the four brain regions in the
regulation normal emotion:-
ⶠThe Prefrontal Cortex
ⶠThe Anterior Cingulate Cortex (ACC)
ⶠThe Hippocampus
ⶠThe Amygdala.
24
27. Polygraphy
ⶠMeasure physiological responses of the autonomic nervous system
in an attempt to detect the feelings of anxiety that often
accompany deception.
Typesof polygraphy :-
ⶠGuilty/ innocent Test
ⶠControl Question T
est
ⶠGuilty Knowledge Test
27
28. Expressed Emotion
ⶠEmotions are expressed on the face, by the body, and
by the intonation of voice. Is this nonverbal language of
emotion universal?
28
29. Detecting Emotion
ⶠMost of us are good at deciphering emotions through
nonverbal communication. In a crowd of faces a single
angry face will âpop outâ faster than a single happy
face (Fox et al, 2000).
29
30. Detecting Emotion
ⶠHard-to-control facial muscles reveal signs of emotions you may be
trying to conceal. A feigned smile may continue for more than 4-5
seconds while a genuine smile will have faded by then.

31. Hindu Dance
ⶠIn classical Hindu dance, the body is trained to
effectively convey 10 different emotions.

32. Emotions are Adaptive
Darwin speculated
that our ancestors
communicated with
facial expressions in
the absence of
language.
Nonverbal facial
expressions led to
our ancestorâs
survival.
Charles Darwin (1809-1882)
