DEFINITION OF EMOTION

Emotion is a complex set of interactions among subjective and objective factors, mediated by neural hormonal systems, which can :
  • give rise to affective experiences such as feelings of arousal, pleasure/displeasure.
  • generate cognitive processes such as emotionally relevant perceptual efffects, appraisals, labelling processing.
  • activate widespread physiological adjustments to the arousing conditions.
  • lead to behaviour that is often, but not always, expressive, goal directed and adaptive.
There is four components of emotion, that is :
  • A feeling state
  • Cognitive process
  • Physiological changes
  • Associated behaviour
