Cognitive Theories: Schachter-Singer Theory of Emotion01:20

Cognitive Theories: Schachter-Singer Theory of Emotion

1.7K
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

2.1K
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.

Causes of Social Behavior II: Cognitive Processes

205
Cognitive processes affect social behavior by guiding how individuals perceive, interpret, and respond to social stimuli. These mental processes enable individuals to assess others' behaviors, attribute causes to their actions, and form expectations based on past experiences.Causes of Behavior and Social JudgmentsIndividuals determine the causes of others' behaviors by distinguishing between personal traits and external circumstances. For example, if a friend frequently arrives late, an...

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

3.4K
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...

Emotional Expression01:26

Emotional Expression

1.1K
Emotional expression encompasses how individuals convey their emotions through verbal communication and non-verbal cues. These non-verbal actions include facial expressions, body language, and physical gestures, such as frowning or smiling. Among these, facial expressions play a crucial role in emotional expression and are understood universally, indicating a biological basis for how humans communicate emotions.
Universal Facial Expressions
Psychologist Paul Ekman identified seven basic...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Dermatology
  • Neuroscience

Background:

  • Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition often linked to psychological distress.
  • Difficulties in emotion regulation are suspected to play a role, but evidence is limited.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate implicit emotion regulation in psoriasis patients.
  • To examine cognitive and physiological responses to emotional stimuli under varying cognitive loads.

Main Methods:

  • Emotional N-Back task assessing working memory performance with emotional images.
  • Functional Infrared Thermal Imaging (fIRI) to measure autonomic nervous system activity via facial temperature.
  • Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS) to assess self-reported emotion regulation.

Main Results:

  • Psoriasis patients reported higher difficulties in emotional clarity compared to controls.
  • Patients showed less performance difference between low and high cognitive load conditions.
  • Psoriasis patients exhibited reduced sympathetic activity under high cognitive load, particularly with neutral/negative stimuli.

Conclusions:

  • Psoriasis patients demonstrate distinct patterns of implicit emotion regulation.
  • Cognitive load influences emotional processing differently in psoriasis.
  • Therapeutic interventions focusing on cognitive strategies for emotion downregulation may benefit psoriasis patients.
