「感覺及其特有的思想、生理與心理的狀態,以及相關的行
為傾向。」
• Emotional Intelligence (EQ): this means being aware that emotions can
drive our behavior and impact people (positively and negatively), and
learning how to manage those emotions – both our own and others.
• Richard Lazarus (2000) 指出
「情緒是我們因外在或內在環境轉變而產生的生理上、主觀
意識上和行動傾向上的反應。」
• The cognitive appraisal theory asserts that your brain first appraises a
situation, and the resulting response is an emotion.

Emotion, arising from the basic feeling 情緒起於感受, adds to it
likes or dislikes of varying intensity 加上喜歡或不喜歡不同的
強度, as well as other thought processes 和其它心的過程. In
other words, feeling gets converted into an emotion--a
combination of perceptions, feelings, desires, beliefs, appraisals,
and physiological arousal. 令一方面來說、感受變成情緒--包括
一切想法、感受、願望、信仰、評審、生理等的影響。
Thanissaro Bhikkhu

voice) or by using nonverbal communication, including the use of
body language or facial expressions.
情緒可以用言語 (以字和語氣) 或非言語的溝通、包括身體來
表示或面色的表情。
26. Emotions are generally regarded in the mind of the Buddhist as
aspects of our personality that interfere with the development of a
spiritual life, as unwholesome states ethically undesirable, and
roadblocks to be cleared in the battleground between reason and
emotion. In keeping with this perspective emotions are described
as states of "agitation" or "imbalance.” Dr. Padmasiri de Silva
在佛教信徒的心來說、情緒被視為人的性格、對心靈生活發展
有干擾、是不善的心狀態、是要清除的路障、在理性和情緒的
戰場里。情緒可以描述為激動或不平衡的心。
