3. Chapter5
1. Emotion and its physiological and
behavioral components (Theories of
Emotion)
2. Eradicating Undesirable emotions
3. Indirect adjustments to Frustration

4. Objectives:
 Define emotion and its characteristics
 Identify the components and the categories of basic
human emotions
 Describe the factors affecting emotions
 Recognize the methods of eradicating undesirable
emotions and indirect adjustments to frustration

5. Introduction
 One characteristic of the
learner is temperament which
refers to certain emotional
predispositions of an
individual.
 Experience affects our
emotions to varying degrees
thereby rendering our
emotional state pleasant or
unpleasant.

6. Whatis
emotion?Definition:
 The term emotion is derived from
the Latin verb ‘movere’ means stir
up, agitate, disturb or move.
Woodworth has defined emotion as
“conscious stirred up state of the
organism”.

7. Emotion:
 The word 'emotion'
encompasses a broad range of
feelings, behavior and changes
in the body and mind.
 The Oxford Dictionary definition
of emotion is "A
strong feeling deriving from
one's circumstances, mood, or
relationships with others.
"Emotions are responses to
significant internal and external
events.

8. Emotion and its physiological
and behavioral components
Components of Emotions (3):
a. Cognition:
 This component serves primarily to
influence an evaluation of given situation,
prompting us to become emotional in
one way or another, or not at all.
 Subjective conscious experience

9. b. Feeling:
 In daily life we think of feelings. The feelings are
most readily evident changes in an aroused
person. Feelings have immediate motivational
significance.
 They give rise to many physiological processes in
the cardiovascular system and produce increased
blood pressure, changes in sexual urge. They
also stimulate nervous system and prompt
widespread electrochemical activities.

10. c. Behavior:
The behavioral component
involves facial, postural, gestures
and vocal responses.

11. Changes during Emotions:
Changes during emotions are
divided into external and
internal changes.

12. External changes:
 There are many external or observable changes during
emotion.
a. The voice changes according to the type of emotion.
Experiments have proved that emotions can be identified
on the basis of voice.
b. Facial expressions change. We can identify emotion
experienced by a person by looking at his face.
c. There will be changes in the body language like stiffness
of muscles, twisting of fingers, movements of hands and
legs.

13. External changes:
d. Sweating.
e. Wrinkles on forehead.
f. Redness of eyes.
g. Erection of hairs on the skin,
etc.

14. Internal changes:
 Many internal changes take place during
emotions. The ANS has 2 subdivisions.
Sympathetic division prepares the body for facing
emergency either by fight or by flight, i.e. fights if
possible, otherwise escapes from the situation. It
stimulates the adrenal glands and causes the
excess release of adrenaline and nor-adrenaline.
Adrenaline gets circulated all over the body and
stimulates vital organs leading to following internal
changes.

15. Internal changes:
a. Increase in heart rate thereby increase in
BP
b. Increase in rate of respiration
c. Increase in blood sugar level
d. Decrease in functioning of GI tract-that is
why we do not experience the feeling of
hunger during emotional states

16. Internal changes:
e. Changes in frequency of brain waves
f. Dilatation of pupils
g. Decreased secretion of saliva and
dryness of mouth.

17. CATEGORIES OF EMOTIONS

20. BASIC TYPES OF HUMAN EMOTIONS

UNDESIRABLE
EMOTIONAL BEHAVIOR

27. Disuse
Frequent application of the stimulus
Ridicule or Scorn
Social Imitation
Verbal appeal
Reconditioning

28. MEANS OF INDIRECT
ADJUSTMENT TO
FRUSTATION

29. MEANS OF INDIRECT
ADJUSTMENT TO FRUSTATION
 Adjustment
- Process by which living organism maintain a balance
between it’s need and the circumstances.
- Continual process by which a person varies his behavior
to produce a more harmonious relationship between himself
and environment.
- Psychological survival in much the same way as biologist
uses the term adaptation to describe physiological survival.

30. Frustration
In psychology, frustration is a
common emotional response to
opposition, related to anger, annoyance
and disappointment, frustration arises
from the perceived resistance to the
fulfillment of an individual's will or goal
MEANS OF INDIRECT
ADJUSTMENT TO FRUSTATION

31. MEANS OF INDIRECT
ADJUSTMENT TO FRUSTATION
Sublimation or Substitution
Is an indirect but socially acceptable expression
of emotion or drive.
When we transform our negative emotions or
instincts, mainly, to acceptable behavior and
positive actions. For example, a person
experiencing extreme anger might take up kick-
boxing as a means of venting frustration.

32. MEANS OF INDIRECT
ADJUSTMENT TO FRUSTATION
Displacement
Displacing or shifting of thought
from one person or situation to
another - Transferring emotion
from situation to other situation.

33. MEANS OF INDIRECT
ADJUSTMENT TO FRUSTATION
Intellectualization
 Thinking about events in a cold, clinical way.
 Allows us to avoid thinking about the
stressful, emotional aspect of the situation
and instead focus only on the intellectual
component

34. Intellectualization
 Example; a person who has just been diagnosed
with a terminal illness might focus on learning
everything about the disease in order to avoid
distress and remain distant from the reality of
the situation.
