Cognitive Theories: Schachter-Singer Theory of Emotion01:20

Cognitive Theories: Schachter-Singer Theory of Emotion

335
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...

The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison

49.8K
According to Charles Cooley, we base our image on what we think other people see (Cooley 1902). We imagine how we must appear to others, then react to this speculation. We don certain clothes, prepare our hair in a particular manner, wear makeup, use cologne, and the like—all with the notion that our presentation of ourselves is going to affect how others perceive us. We expect a certain reaction, and, if lucky, we get the one we desire and feel good about it. But more than that, Cooley...

Cognitive Theories: Lazarus Mediational Theory of Emotion

721
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.

Lazarus proposed that...

Self-Evaluation: Self-Enhancement and Self-Verification

5.2K
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...

Labeling Emotion01:20

Labeling Emotion

118
Emotional labeling is a cognitive process that involves identifying and naming one's emotions, such as anger, fear, happiness, or sadness. It allows individuals to recognize and express their internal emotional states, a critical aspect of emotional regulation and communication. Labeling emotions requires more than mere recognition; it also involves drawing upon memory and contextual cues to understand the current situation and apply a corresponding emotional label. For instance, feeling...

Factors Affecting Perception01:25

Factors Affecting Perception

1.5K
Perception is influenced by perceptual set, context, motivation, and emotion. Perceptual set, or perceptual expectancy, refers to the tendency to perceive things in a particular way, influenced by previous experiences and expectations. This phenomenon affects the interpretation of stimuli, creating a set of mental tendencies and assumptions that impact sensory perceptions of sound, taste, touch, and sight.
An illustrative example of a perceptual set is the scenario where an airline pilot told...

Area of Science:

  • Neuroaesthetics
  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Philosophy of Art

Background:

  • Objective features (e.g., symmetry) explain little of aesthetic appeal variability.
  • Multiprocess models suggest self-reference influences subjective aesthetic judgment.
  • Previous research explored objective and subjective factors in art appreciation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To test if self-reference underlies aesthetic judgment idiosyncrasy.
  • To disentangle self-reference from emotional reactions in aesthetic evaluation.
  • To investigate the role of self-relevance appraisal in aesthetic appeal.

Main Methods:

  • Two behavioral studies conceptually replicating prior work.
  • Utilized the self-reference effect on memory.
  • Compared aesthetic judgment encoding with self-reference and emotional evaluation conditions.

Main Results:

  • Artworks encoded for aesthetic judgment showed a memory advantage, similar to self-reference and emotional encoding.
  • Retrospective emotional judgments correlated with self-reference and aesthetic ratings.
  • Self-relevance appraisal appears to be a fundamental mechanism in aesthetic judgment.

Conclusions:

  • Self-relevance appraisal may be a foundational mechanism for aesthetic judgments.
  • Subjective factors, particularly self-reference, play a significant role in art appreciation.
  • Aesthetic appeal is influenced by both objective features and personal relevance.
