Different components
1. Physiological component
  1. Proper inference of psychophysiology
    1. Peripheral nervous system
      1. Produces a physiological response stating that an emotion has occured
      2. Emotions cannot be identified by peripheral responses
      3. Response indicates degree of arousal or intensity
    2. Central nervous system
      1. Processes emotional stimuli

        Amygdala
        Hypothalamus
        Laughter
        Fear and anger
        Frontal cortex
    3. Physiological profiles help us understand arousal, intensity and possible circuits
  2. James-Lange theory of emotion
    1. Directed facial action task
      1. Participants can identify emotions from instructions
    2. Each emotion has a physiological profile
2. Cognitive component
  1. Cognitive appraisals
    1. The meaning of an event affects our emotional response to it
      1. Someone punched you by accident or on purpose
  2. Two factor theory of emotion
    1. Physiological arousal is generalized, not specific
      1. Label arousal based on cognitive appraisal
        Dutton and Aron bridge study
        People were scared on a bridge were more attracted to people b/c of physical responses to being on a bridge
3. Behavioural component
  1. Can determine emotions from:
    1. Facial display
      1. Body posture
        Vocal tone
        Touch
  2. Action tendencies
    1. Approach/avoid the stimulus
    2. Basic functions of emotions
  3. Universality of emotion
    1. Ekman studies
      1. Prototypical expression is universal
      2. Cultural display rules apply
    2. Culturally specific emotions
