emotion and motivation
Margaret.m.bradley
chapter 22
One aspect of emotion that is generally agreed upon,
however, is that it is associated with physiological reactions: in emotional
situations, the body acts. The heart pounds, flutters, stops, and drops; palms
sweat; muscles tense and relax; blood boils; faces blush, flush, frown, and
smile. We note these reactions in ourselves, and we make inferences about the
emotional life of others based on visible bodily responses.
emotion stems from latin work ‘movere’ meaning to move
both emotion and motivation are
fundamentally realated to action
Emotional events can be differentiated on the basis of
whether they are good or bad (Arnold 1960), appetitive or aversive (Dickinson 6c
Dearing 1979), agreeable or disagreeable (MacLean 1993), positive or
negative (Cacioppo & Berntson 1994), pleasant or unpleasant (Lang,
Bradley, & Cuthbert 1990), hospitable or inhospitable (Cacioppo, Bernston,
& Crites 1996). These valenced events differ in the degree to which they
arouse or engage the individual.
