Topic: Emotions (disambiguation)


  
  Emotion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Emotions are physical expressions, often involuntary, related to feelings, perceptions or beliefs about elements, objects or relations between them, in reality or in the imagination.
Emotion is sometimes regarded as the antithesis of reason.
Current research on the neural circuitry of emotion suggests that emotion makes up an essential part of human decision-making, including long-term planning, and that the famous distinction made by Descartes between reason and emotion is not as clear as it seems.

Emotion is the realm where thought and physiology are inextricably entwined, and where the 'self' is inseparable from our individual perceptions of value and judgement toward ourselves and others.
Emotional experiences consist of thoughts, feelings, affective responses (e.g., sadness, anger, joy, determination), physiological responses (changes in internal bodily functioning), cognitive responses (e.g., a conceptual representation of an event), and behavioural responses (an outward expression such as flight or resistance).
This understanding of emotions may be considered the epiphenomenal account; emotions may be the end-product of cognitive processes -- such as a feeling of anger upon realizing that one's been cheated -- but they can never take their place among other mental states, such as believing, as equals.

Emotional indicators include behaviors that are organized through the endocrine, visceral and somatic nervous systems that may induce changes in heart rate, breathing, capillary circulation, sweating, lacrimation, pupillary size, endocrine secretion and sphincter control, freezing, flight or fight, arousal, and species-specific vocalizations and emotional displays.
The concept of primary emotions evolved from the work of Darwin who suggested that certain emotions have as their substrate an innate neural basis since they are universally expressed and understood across cultures.
Although social emotions have a more balanced distribution of valence, in most formal situations positive emotional displays, such as cheerfulness or attentiveness, are expected in keeping with social "display rules", a term first coined by Ekman and Friesen.

 Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology: The perception of four basic emotions in human and nonhuman faces by children ...
Children with autism may establish emotional relationships with family members and may be sensitive to their emotional states although they may be less likely to monitor and respond to the emotional states of unfamiliar others (e.g., Capps and Sigman, 1996; Sigman and Mundy, 1989).
It might be anticipated that children who experience autism would make emotion identification errors when lower facial features are ambiguous, that is, the features are common to more than one emotion and when disambiguation requires attention to the upper face.
In this particular study, the use of facial emotion schema by children with disabilities was assessed by having children identify facial expressions of emotion (happy, sad, angry, and surprise) in more familiar human and less familiar nonhuman (canine and orangutan) faces (cf.
