Cognitive Theories: Schachter-Singer Theory of Emotion01:20

Cognitive Theories: Schachter-Singer Theory of Emotion

1.8K
Stanley Schachter and Jerome Singer proposed the two-factor theory of emotion, which emphasizes the interplay between physiological arousal and cognitive labeling in forming emotional experiences. This theory suggests that emotions are not simply a result of physiological responses but rather a combination of these responses and the individual's cognitive interpretation of them.
Physiological Arousal and Cognitive Labeling
According to this theory, when an individual experiences...

Cognitive Theories: Lazarus Mediational Theory of Emotion

2.2K
Richard Lazarus' cognitive mediational theory highlights the pivotal role of cognitive appraisal in shaping emotional responses. According to this theory, the evaluation of a stimulus — based on personal values, goals, beliefs, and expectations — mediates the emotional response. This appraisal process is immediate and often occurs unconsciously, influencing the intensity and nature of the resulting emotion.

Impulse

21.7K
According to Newton’s second law of motion, the rate of change of the momentum of an object is the net external force acting on it. The total change in momentum between two timepoints thus depends on both the external force acting on it and the time over which it acts. Describing this mathematically, the total change of an object’s motion is proportional to the force vector and the time over which it is applied. This product is called impulse.
Additionally, it can be shown that the...

Impulse Response01:17

Impulse Response

The impulse response is the system's reaction to an input impulse. In an RC circuit, the voltage source is the input, and the capacitor's voltage is the output. The system's state and output response before and after input excitation are distinctly defined.
Kirchhoff's law forms an input signal equation, with the capacitor's current and voltage providing the output. Substituting the current and dividing by RC yields a differential equation. The output for an impulse input is the impulse...

Cognitive Dissonance

37.5K
Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Physiology of Emotion01:20

Physiology of Emotion

3.5K
The physiology of emotions is a multifaceted process involving the autonomic nervous system, brain structures, hormones, and neurotransmitters. This intricate interplay dictates how emotions manifest in the body and influence behavior.
Autonomic Nervous System
The autonomic nervous system (ANS) plays a critical role in emotional responses by regulating involuntary physiological functions. It consists of two main components: the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems. The sympathetic system...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Neuroscience
  • Cognitive Science

Background:

  • Emotion-related impulsivity is linked to psychopathology and cognitive control deficits.
  • Understanding interventions for emotion-driven impulsivity is crucial for mental health.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of a cognitive control training program in reducing emotion-related impulsivity.
  • To assess the impact of training on emotion regulation and cognitive task performance.

Main Methods:

  • A two-week, six-session cognitive control training program targeting working memory and response inhibition.
  • Participants (N=52) with elevated emotion-related impulsivity were assessed pre- and post-training, with a waitlist control group.
  • Measures included impulsivity, emotion regulation, and near/far-transfer cognitive tasks.

Main Results:

  • Emotion-related impulsivity significantly decreased post-training and at follow-up, unlike the waitlist control group.
  • Improvements were noted in brooding rumination (decrease) and reappraisal (increase).
  • Participants enhanced performance on trained cognitive tasks and an inhibition transfer task.

Conclusions:

  • Cognitive control training is well-tolerated for individuals with high emotion-driven impulsivity.
  • Preliminary evidence supports cognitive training as an effective intervention for reducing emotion-related impulsivity.
  • This approach may offer a novel therapeutic avenue for related psychological conditions.
