Emotional Expression01:26

Emotional Expression

383
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.

Coping Strategies: Emotion Focused01:20

Coping Strategies: Emotion Focused

156
Emotion-focused coping refers to a set of strategies aimed at managing the emotional impact of stressors, rather than directly addressing their causes. This approach involves altering one's emotional response to stressful situations to reduce their psychological effects. For example, individuals might talk with a friend or engage in activities like journaling to express their feelings. Such actions can help achieve emotional clarity or release, providing the psychological stability needed...

Labeling Emotion01:20

Labeling Emotion

247
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...

Surveys

15.4K
Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Cognitive Theories: Schachter-Singer Theory of Emotion01:20

Cognitive Theories: Schachter-Singer Theory of Emotion

611
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.

According to this theory, when an individual experiences...

Cognitive Theories: Lazarus Mediational Theory of Emotion

1.2K
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.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Sociology
  • African American Studies

Background:

  • Understanding emotion expression among African American college students is crucial for their well-being.
  • Existing research often overlooks the contextual nuances of emotional expression within this demographic.
  • Theoretical frameworks like Triple Quandary Theory provide insight into navigating racial and emotional complexities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate patterns of self-reported emotion expression in familial and college campus settings among African American college students.
  • To examine the association between these emotion expression patterns and campus contextual factors, including racial demographics and experiences of discrimination.
  • To identify distinct profiles of emotion expression and their predictors within this population.

Main Methods:

  • Online survey data collected from 169 African American college students across three campuses.
  • Latent profile analysis (LPA) used to identify emotion expression profiles in familial and campus contexts.
  • Statistical analysis to determine predictors of profile membership, including campus racial demographics, friend group composition, and racial discrimination experiences.

Main Results:

  • Four distinct emotion expression profiles were identified: Positive Low Expressors, High Family - Low Campus Expressors, Consistent Expressors, and Low Family Positive - Consistent Negative Expressors.
  • Campus type was not a significant predictor of profile membership.
  • Experiences of racial discrimination and the racial composition of friend groups significantly predicted profile membership.

Conclusions:

  • Emotion expression patterns among African American college students vary significantly between familial and campus contexts.
  • These variations are linked to students' racial experiences on campus, particularly racial discrimination and social integration within friend groups.
  • Colleges must acknowledge and address how campus environments shape the emotional functioning and competence of African American students.
