Emotion in psychology 1
This document provides an introduction to psychology and the topic of emotion. It defines emotion as an evaluative response involving cognition, physiology, and behavior. It discusses the Schacter-Singer theory of emotion, which posits that emotion involves physiological arousal and cognitive interpretation. The document also addresses facial expressions and emotion, culture and emotion expression, gender differences in emotional expression, basic emotions, and additional emotions beyond the basic emotions.
Psychology_Emotion
The document discusses theories of emotion. It describes three major theories:
1. The James-Lange theory from 1885 which proposed that physiological responses generate emotions.
2. The Cannon-Bard theory from 1927 which argued that physiological and emotional experiences occur simultaneously rather than emotions resulting from physiological responses.
3. Schachter and Singer's two-factor theory from 1962 which suggested that emotional experience requires both physiological arousal and cognitive labeling of the arousal based on the situation.
The document also discusses other theories such as the activation theory which views emotion as a state of heightened arousal in the nervous system rather than a distinct psychological process.
Motivation & emotion
1) Instinct theory states that motivation stems from biological programming and instincts, suggesting humans and other species are hardwired to act in certain ways.
2) William McDougal was an influential early theorist who viewed instincts as behavior patterns, though theorists disagree on a definitive list of instincts.
3) Modern instinct theory takes a more biological perspective for specific motives but not all, and plays a strong role in animal behavior studies. The core idea is that survival is biologically programmed.
Discovering Our Reality
Reality is created in the mind and is unique to each individual based on their perceptions and interpretations of sensory data. Perception involves selectively noticing information, sorting and prioritizing it, and interpreting it based on psychological, physical, social, and other factors like expectations, language, and formal learning. While no two people have exactly the same reality, reality testing through comparing perceptions with others and examining a variety of realities can help develop a more accurate understanding of reality.
Emotions
This document summarizes a chapter on emotion. It discusses the elements of emotion including the body, mind, and culture. Regarding the body, it describes primary and secondary emotions and how facial expressions, the brain, hormones, and autonomic nervous system are involved. For the mind, it discusses cognitive appraisals and the two-factor theory of emotion. Regarding culture, it explains how display rules, body language, and emotion work are shaped by cultural norms. It concludes by analyzing differences in how emotion is experienced and expressed between genders.
Emotions
This document discusses emotions, defining them as complex psychological phenomena that occur as animals and people experience life. Emotions involve conscious experiences, expressions visible to others, and physiological arousal. There are positive emotions like happiness and joy that make one feel good, as well as negative emotions like sadness, fear, and shame that sap energy. Factors like personality, culture, gender, weather, and age can influence how emotions are experienced and expressed. Emotions are perceived through body language, speech, gestures, facial expressions, and physiological cues. Effectively managing one's own emotions and responding appropriately to others' emotions is an important part of emotional intelligence.

Sleep walking
Sleepwalking occurs when random electrical impulses hit the area of the brain that controls movement and speech during deep, non-REM sleep. It usually happens during stage 4 sleep, lasting 5-15 minutes. While their eyes may be open, sleepwalkers are not consciously awake and will not respond to communication. It is generally safe to gently guide a sleepwalker back to bed if they wander, as waking them up can be startling. Sleepwalking runs in families and may be triggered by illness, stress, or substances like alcohol.

psychological theories of stuttering and causes
The document discusses several theories regarding the psychological and behavioral aspects of stuttering. It summarizes theories that view stuttering as: 1) A learned behavior influenced by conditioning and reinforcement; 2) The result of an approach-avoidance conflict where the person experiences competing desires to speak and remain silent; 3) Caused by increased tension and fragmented speech patterns due to a learned preparatory set when anticipating difficult words. The document also discusses theories that stuttering arises from an imbalance between communicative demands and the developing capacities of children.
Stress (All about stress)
1) Stress refers to both environmental stressors and the physical and emotional reactions they cause. Stressors are events that disrupt one's normal routine, while stress is the response.
2) Hans Selye proposed that the body goes through three stages in response to stressors: alarm reaction, resistance, and exhaustion. In humans, what causes stress depends on one's subjective appraisal of an event.
3) Chronic stress can lead to both mental and physical health problems if the body cannot adapt, including depression, heart disease, obesity, and other issues. As much as 90% of doctor's visits may be for symptoms related to stress.
Essay On Word Stress
The document discusses word stress and its importance in English language learning. Word stress refers to accenting a particular part of a word and is a relatively consistent element. Stressed syllables are usually uttered with more force and have a higher pitch than unstressed syllables. Identifying word stress is important as it affects the quantity of energy used in articulation and helps learners produce clearer pronunciation.
4th Grading Mapeh7 L4
This document discusses different types of stress that adolescents may face. It defines eustress as positive stress that slightly challenges a person without overwhelming them, and can promote growth. Distress is negative stress that occurs when coping mechanisms are overwhelmed. The document also discusses factors like self-efficacy, flow, mindset, and methods for coping with stress like keeping things in perspective and seeking help. It provides definitions for dying, death, and discusses how children should be included during times of grief.
Philip Hilder presentation
This document discusses moving the NSW homelessness sector towards trauma-informed care. It notes that homeless populations experience high rates of trauma, especially women. Trauma-informed care focuses on safety, control, strengths and compassionate engagement through listening. Training teaches the impacts of trauma, complex trauma, and uses a neuroscience lens. It emphasizes relationship-building, predictability, stability and right-brain interactions over explicit trauma memory work. The goal is cultural change to better support consumers in a trauma-informed manner.
Emotional Trauma Issues and Children
This document provides information for those working with traumatized children. It discusses the effects of trauma on children's cognition, behavior, affect, and physical health. It describes common reactions in children like repetitive play, regression, and somatic complaints. The document also covers trauma-informed care, the impact of trauma on the brain, trauma bonding, and treatment options like CBT, prolonged exposure therapy, and EMDR. Key aspects of working with traumatized children are understanding developmental stages and communicating with parents about topics like boundaries and healthy sexuality.
Sex And Gender, Chapter 11
The document discusses various topics related to stress, including:
1. Cognitive appraisal theories of stress proposed by Richard Lazarus which emphasize the role of perception and evaluation in the stress response.
2. Hans Selye's general adaptation syndrome model of the body's nonspecific response to stressors.
3. Factors that can moderate the stress response like predictability, control, and social support.
4. Unhealthy and healthy coping strategies for dealing with stress.

Section 4.1Stress and Its Connection to Well-Being
Vanessa is in her second year of college. She is the first person in her family to attend a 4-year
college. She is both proud of that and a little bit scared; she wants to live up to her parents’
expectations but also feels a tremendous weight every day in meeting the lofty expectations
she has for herself. Her parents made great sacrifices to send her to school, and the most
important thing in the world to her is that she not waste this opportunity. Unfortunately,
Vanessa is struggling right now. She chose biology as a major, with the hope that she would
become a doctor and make her parents proud. But she is finding her studies hard, mainly
because they are not as interesting as she had hoped.
Lately, Vanessa has started having trouble sleeping and has found it hard to concentrate. She
is constantly worrying about her grades and what will happen if her GPA is too low for medi-
cal school. She has tried studying extra hard and cutting out social activities, but that has left
her feeling even more anxious and isolated.
Her roommate thinks she is simply stressed out, but Vanessa is not even sure what the term
stress means. Of course she is anxious; she is under a lot of pressure! How is that going to
change? Her parents worked very long hours in custodial jobs all their lives, and they never
complained about stress. How could she? But last week, Vanessa was so anxious she decided
to visit her university counseling center to see if they could help with her stress. Vanessa is
not really sure what to expect. What is stress, anyway? And what can a mental health profes-
sional do to help her?
4.1 Stress and Its Connection to Well-Being
Stress is a widely acknowledged phenomenon. Mental health practitioners have many clients
reporting stress symptoms (Ivey & Ivey, 2015), but what exactly is meant by the term? Does
it refer to a feeling, such as when we are “stressed out”? Or does it refer to events in our lives,
such as taking a “stressful” exam? Or should we think about stress in terms of what it does to
us emotionally and physically, such as causing anxiety or high blood pressure?
While the term has been used in many ways by theorists, today st.
Paige Keister
Stress can negatively impact cognitive functions like memory, executive function, and motor skills. Prolonged or intense stress can cause the brain to shrink and deregulate processes like sleep and immune response. Chronic stress is particularly harmful and has been linked to increased risk of depression. The level of stress experienced at home can carry over and influence performance at school or work. While some stress is normal, too much stress over a long period of time can damage both physical and mental health.
Emotional Regulation
This document discusses emotional stability and lability. It defines emotional stability as calmness and freedom from anxiety/depression while emotional lability refers to loss of emotional regulation where emotions dominate brain functions. Causes of lability include brain injury, trauma, stress, anxiety, and depression. Symptoms are being emotionally impulsive, low frustration tolerance, impatience, and excitability. Methods to enhance stability discussed are building resilience, meditation, exercise, and maintaining a hopeful outlook.

New microsoft office word document
1. Stress is a feeling created when reacting to challenging events and prepares the body to meet tough situations with focus and strength.
2. The human body responds to stressors by activating the nervous system and hormones like adrenaline and cortisol. This stress response is critical for emergency situations but can cause problems if overactivated or fails to shut off properly.
3. Young children are more vulnerable to stress due to their developmental capabilities. Excessive stress can have immediate and long-term negative effects on children's adaptability, behavior, and health. Chronic stress from poverty, violence or bullying poses more risks to children than acute short-term stress.

Trauma & Recovery
What is trauma?
What are some of the ways that you or people you know have experienced trauma?
What is (1) hyperarousal, (2) intrusion and (3) constriction.
What surprised you from the readings?
The systems that give people a sense of control, connection and meaning are overwhelmed.
The incident includes threats to life or bodily integrity, a close personal encounter with violence, or witnessing grotesque death.
The event engenders a feeling of intense fear, helplessness, loss of control, and threat of annihilation.
Trauma often occurs when…
So the healing process must address the reestablishment of control, connection and meaning!

Editor's Notes
- Heather T. Forbes, LCSW www.beyondconsequences.com
- Heather T. Forbes, LCSW www.beyondconsequences.com Chapter 2. A Theory for Life The Stress Model is the groundbreaking theory which has been applied to countless cases for astounding and rapid healing. This simple formula is routinely applied to the most complex cases and situations for new insight and understanding. The Stress Model contends: All behavior arises from stress and it is in between the behavior and stress which lies our two primary emotions: Love and Fear; it is through understanding our own emotional experience and that of others that we can calm the stress, hence diminishing the behavior. From Love only loving feelings and behaviors will arise, such are joy, happiness, reciprocity, empathy, conscience, morals, responsibility and the ability to understand deeply the experience of others. From Fear only fear based feelings and behaviors will arise, such are anger, worry, frustration, envy, jealousy, anxiety, shame, blame and depression. When understanding children of trauma, we must understand that at their deepest core and driving their behavior is the presence of fear rather than anger. Our perception of anger in others creates fear in us which rapidly transforms to anger. When this occurs, we will be unable to truly see the fear experience in another.
