Cognitive Theories: Lazarus Mediational Theory of Emotion01:17

Cognitive Theories: Lazarus Mediational Theory of Emotion

1.1K
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.

Cognitive Theories: Schachter-Singer Theory of Emotion

561
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...

Theoretical Approaches to Psychological Disorder01:29

Theoretical Approaches to Psychological Disorder

290
The development of psychological disorders, which are characterized by deviant, maladaptive, and personally distressing behaviors, has been explored through several theoretical approaches.
Biological approach
The biological approach posits that internal, organic factors are the primary causes of such disorders. This perspective emphasizes brain structure and function, genetic predispositions, and neurotransmitter imbalances. For example, schizophrenia has been associated with both genetic...

Traits, Mood, and Subjective Wellbeing01:22

Traits, Mood, and Subjective Wellbeing

118
Subjective well-being (SWB) refers to an individual's self-evaluation of their overall life satisfaction, happiness, and fulfillment. This multifaceted construct is typically assessed by analyzing the balance of positive and negative emotions alongside perceptions of life satisfaction. Personality traits such as neuroticism and extraversion are strongly associated with variations in SWB, offering critical insights into the underlying mechanisms of emotional well-being.
Neuroticism and...

Depressive Disorders: Etiology01:27

Depressive Disorders: Etiology

160
Depressive disorders result from a complex interplay of biological, psychological, and sociocultural factors, each contributing uniquely to the development and persistence of the condition. Understanding these factors provides critical insight into the multifaceted nature of depression.
Biological Factors in Depression
Biological predispositions significantly influence the risk of developing depressive disorders. Genetic studies highlight the role of variations in the serotonin transporter...

Physiological Theories: Cannon-Bard Theory of Emotion

749
The Cannon-Bard theory of emotion, proposed by Walter Cannon and Philip Bard, challenges the notion that emotions are solely the result of physiological responses. Instead, this theory suggests that emotional experiences and physiological arousal occur simultaneously but operate through independent mechanisms. This dual response is initiated by the brain, specifically by the thalamus, which plays a critical role in processing sensory information.
Upon perceiving a stimulus, such as a dangerous...

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Cognitive Science
  • Psychiatry

Context:

  • The precise definition and conceptual boundaries of mood remain ambiguous in psychiatric nosography and cognitive science.
  • Existing distinctions between emotion and mood are insufficient to explain clinical realities of mood disorders or their impact on behavior and cognition.

Purpose:

  • To propose a multidimensional and computational theory of mood.
  • To offer an operational distinction between emotion and mood.
  • To provide a computational framework for understanding mood's emergent and dispositional properties.

Summary:

  • Mood is conceptualized as an emergent state arising from the cumulative succession of emotions over time.
  • Mood functions as a dispositional state influencing perception, belief, and action through interaction with the environment.
  • A computational model formalizes mood as a layer of third-order Bayesian beliefs, regulated by interoceptive prediction errors.

Impact:

  • This framework sheds light on the processes underlying mood disorders, such as unipolar depression and bipolar disorder.
  • It elucidates the emergence of mood-congruent beliefs.
  • It offers insights into the mechanisms of antidepressant treatments in clinical psychiatry.
