Distinguishing between emotion, affect, and mood is challenging due to their shared physiological basis. This study proposes a refined model to clarify these dynamic states for better research definitions and understanding of pathological changes.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Neuroscience
  • Psychiatry

Background:

  • Emotion, affect, and mood are difficult to differentiate, often considered part of a single 'background' physiological activity.
  • Existing definitions are frequently contradictory, hindering precise research and clinical application.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a refined framework for precisely defining emotion, affect, and mood.
  • To improve the description of pathological modifications in psychological 'background' activity.

Main Methods:

  • Review of commonly used and contradictory definitions of emotion, affect, mood, and related terms.
  • Adaptation of Janzarik's 'structural-dynamic coherency' model to create a reference frame.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • A modified Janzarik model is presented to enhance the definition of distinct 'dynamic states'.
  • The study discusses clear distinctions between emotional resonance, mood, and drive.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed model offers a clearer framework for differentiating psychological states.
  • Improved definitions are crucial for accurately describing pathological alterations in background physiological activity.
