E.C. Inside Out
1. How do Riley's emotions balance out her personality and thought processes?
a. The delicate balance of dealing with these different emotions helps people best react to the situations life throws out. For example, if joy is control while playing and having fun and then that person stubs their toe, sadness would then take over.
2. How do our emotions affect our personality long term - for example - if Joy is our overriding emotion - what will our personality suggest? What about disgust? fear?
a. If joy is too overpowering then people would not know how to deal with pain and hardships when they come around. If Disgust was too overpowering then one would not be able to see also the sweet blessings or nutrients

Riley was in such a depressed and angry state that she was willing to do anything she could do to feel happy again. This is applicable to real life because we all are capable of making bad choices when in such a lost, hopeless and/or depressed state. We need to realize that even in those moments we need to still have morals and not let our emotions effect our actions.
6. When one island went down - how did it become a tidal wave of loss? (losing goofball island, then friendship, then hockey, then honesty, then family)
a. When one thing goes wrong in life we tend to dig ourselves into a deeper hole, so to speak. Meaning we get angry and frustrated and let that seep into all other areas of our life until we have nothing good left to lean on.
7. Why is "feeling" our emotions (all of them) so important?
a. We need to feel all of our emotions because they will always be there whether we feel them or not. Since they are always there you need to confront your emotions so you can once again balance out your emotional state of mind.
8. How does this movie explain "emotional balance"?
a. This movie shows emotional balance by showing in the end how they all work together to provide the best life for Riley. When Joy tried to control Sadness and not let her influence her it actually ended up hurting her because she could not feel all of our emotions fully.
9. How can memories be happy and sad at the same
Life is full of emotions, whether it be happy or sad. It is what keeps everyone going.
The emotions found within all of us have a deep relation towards perception and culture because people react to different emotional states, and often show emotion physically. However, emotions have always been the central point of an individual’s life because it is the cause that leads us to our personality. In many ways, our emotions define our existence without them, most of us would not feel truly alive.
At the beginning of the film, Riley and her parents live in Minnesota, where she has friends, enjoys her school, is a valued member of an ice hockey team, and has an all-around happy life. The movie’s introduction depicts a typical day of Riley’s life in Minnesota, during which all five of the emotion characters properly fulfill their functions and leave Riley in a normal state. Joy provides happiness for the young girl. Sadness provides Riley moments of comfort from her parents and emotional bonding between Riley and her parents. Fear keeps her from hurting herself by prompting a cautionary response. Likewise, Disgust and Anger fulfill their intended, beneficial roles, thereby fulfilling their manifest functions. At the end of the day, Joy congratulates her counterparts, telling them, “Nice job, everybody. Another perfect day.”
In conclusion, Riley’s reactions to her experiences led her to be generally downtrodden with no attempt to raise her attitude. Instead of taking positive outlooks on the events in her life, Riley had the most pessimistic thought process on each incident. This pertains to cognitive psychology because of the way Riley interpreted situations in different ways based on her current emotions in the movie. Although this is all about a character in a movie, this ABC technique is something one could use when assessing a situation to prevent an unnecessary
Joy and Sadness getting sucked out of headquarters and are having to remain committed to each other. Joy gets aggravated with Sadness since she has such a draining personality so after going to a bunch of lands they eventually get to an island and Joy gets in a tube without Sadness. Joy wants to leave her because she is tired of having to keep teaching Sadness what to do, but the tube ends up not working. People coming into ones life or problems that happen are happening for a reason because that helped Joy realize that she needed Sadness in her life and leaving her would not be the right thing to do. Headquarters also starts becoming a crazy mess because Disgust, Fear, and Anger are trying to fill in for Joy and Sadness which they are nothing alike. Disgust, Fear and Anger have to play with the buttons on the panel to act like Joy in order to see Riley act normal so they are trying to make memories replace her personalities that she is lacking, but that doesn't seem to be working. They still remain committed to the situation that is going on and continue to try new things until something
In “Your Emotional Mind” covered in Chapter 1, I learned many interesting things about emotional intelligence, such as an emotion being defined as a feeling state, distinguishing the difference between a thought and a feeling lays the foundation for emotionally intelligent behavior, and how emotional reactivity can become a bad habit. Although these subjects were interesting, I was more enthralled with the Temporal Theory of Primary Emotions and diagram showing three primary emotions of anger, sadness, and fear in relation to the past, present, and future.
There are social, mental, and even physical consequences to our ability to deal with our emotions. Since our emotions are a way our body can talk to us, we ignore them at our own peril. Not only will ignoring emotions ensure unhappiness, but it can lead to physical illness and even early
When there have been trying tribulations, more people will understand what it is like for emotions to take a toll mentally. When there is the constant hum of worry in their head, some will understand what it is like to be overcome with anxiety. Emotions are high and you feel out of place. When there is the prickling of happiness, people will know how hard it is not to act impulsively. Emotions influence the decisions humans make. When there is anxiety, some may decide to drink water or take a nap. When there is excitement, some may make bad choices because of the adrenaline rush. These feelings let humans know what would be the best thing to do. When there is danger, emotions let people know to be on high alert and watch for
The main and final point that I learned from the article The Power of Feelings: Emotion, Imagination, and the Construction of Meaning in Adult Learning, is that our emotions must be in balance in order for our minds to be focused and able to
Had I watched this Inside Out at different points over the semester, I would have been able to find different flaws each time. This movie is supposed to be about Riley, but it turns out to be centered around the journey that Joy and Sadness must take in order to return to headquarters, more specifically, it validates sadness as an emotion. Sadness spent her first eleven years with Riley being told to stay back and not to screw anything up, in reality, sadness is often frowned upon, because for some people, they are the opposite of Riley’s character. This movie shows that the happiest of children can go through life changing struggles and embrace their other emotions. You cannot appreciate being happy unless you have known being sad, this movie brings attention to the necessity of a balance in life.
Bliss, anger, fear, sadness, these are all emotions that we could feel on a daily basis. In one quick flip of a switch one decision made by an emotion can send our world racing, whether it is good or bad, our lives can be changed forever. This is how powerful emotions can affect us; can you imagine how it can affect our learning abilities? The brain, although divided, works together connecting everything we take in and feel.
Emotion is a distinguishing feature of human beings. It is not because other beings cannot express emotions, but we are good at grasping emotions of our fellow beings. Emotions play an important role in the decisions we make in our day-to-day lives. We express emotions in almost everything we do, such as; we express anger when we face atrocities, we express sadness when we hear news of demise, and we express happiness when we get what we want. Further, emotions are not just limited to our personal lives. In fact, conservatively, we express emotions in our professional life as well.
Since emotions have a role to play in overall mental health and wellness, and the key to well-being is a healthy balance between emotional awareness, emotional acceptance, and emotional expression so let’s begin our story of emotion by asking: Where does it all start?
It is vital to look at how emotion specifically affects the human body and emotional regulation, and there needs to be an understanding of how emotions effect mental health disorders as well as the limitations that current exist. Another important aspect to consider is the long-term affects of emotion on psychophysiology. By understanding each of these components, it is easier to grasp
Considering emotions are a huge part of daily life, one might have an interest as to why in the world they operate in such a fashion. A person might go through an entire lifetime without knowing how their actions might have impacted the emotion they experienced. Often times if one knew how to change the way the felt, they would. It is possible that it could have even benefited that person to be more aware of their actions. Emotions are a part of one’s personality and knowing the cause is important to make people aware of what impacts them, knowing the ways it can influence behavior, and how it can be changed.
