Cognitive behavioral psychology pertains to how someone interprets feelings and how he or she reacts to this interpretation. Cognition indicates how one thinks and this interacts with emotion and behavior. In other words, an activating event takes place and provokes an assumption which leads to resulting consequences that are normally negative. In the movie Inside Out, Riley leads a happy life in Minnesota which is turned upside-down when her family moves to San Francisco. The stress of the move causes a major disruption in Riley’s life and emotions. Using cognitive behavioral psychology, Riley’s thoughts can be analyzed through the ABC technique; this technique begins with A (activating event), then B (belief), which results in C (consequence). Under Riley’s circumstances, the stress she experiences causes her beliefs to be mostly negative, which therefore leads to poor consequences. In San Francisco, Riley’s dad was very busy with work and the family’s new home and …show more content…
As she was skating down the ice with the puck, she made a mistake and tumbled. She thought that she was worthless and did not see the point in trying. She then quits the hockey team, something so important to her, just because of one mistake. This is unhealthy because one needs to fail in order to succeed; she must work through the errors to come out stronger. 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
The film Inside Out tells the story of a young girl named Riley and her changing emotions after she is forced to move from her home town in Minnesota to San Fransico for her father’s job. The story is told from the perspective of her five emotions. Riley’s emotions are led by Joy, who attempts to guide her through the stressful event. Although Joy puts forth great effort, Sadness takes over. When trying to protect Riley’s core memories from Sadness, Joy is swept from headquarters through the dump tube and Sadness follows. With Joy and Sadness gone, Anger, Fear, and Disgust are the only emotions left in headquarters; therefore, Riley cannot be happy or sad. Because Joy and Sadness are absent, Riley’s personality islands diminish one by one. Riley fights with her family, pushes away from her friends back home, and loses interest in hockey. As Joy and Sadness navigate through Riley’s brain in search of a way back to headquarters, they encounter many obsticles. Back in headquarters, Anger, Fear, and Disgust place the idea of running away into Riley’s head. Joy witnesses the transformation of a sad memory into a happy memory, and finally realizes the importance of all emotions, including Sadness. With the help of Bing Bong, Riley’s imaginary friend, Joy and Sadness find their way back to headquarters and are able to stop Riley from running away. An update in headquarters takes place, and more personality islands develop. Joy learns to accept the

According to Adler and Proctor (2011), it talks about responding to transgressions and some examples to that would be coming to an acceptance, rejection and discussion.

Throughout the movie something happens to Riley and her emotions

The movie Inside Out describes the inner workings of an adolescent girl named Riley’s mind. It especially examines the processes of emotions and memory. The memories she makes- either short term or long term- regulate the emotions within Riley’s mind (Talarico, 2015). This regulation is greatly developed during middle childhood. During this time, a child’s mind begins to associate emotions with memories, and more clearly store memories, understand how events affect them. In Inside Out, the function of the glass orbs demonstrate these processes of the stages of memory.

Through out the course of the movie Inside Out, there were many examples and demonstrations of different strands of psychology. The first one is an example of cognitive psychology. When Joy, Sadness and Bing Bong were traveling to get back to headquarters they ran into Riley subconscious. This part of the brain that you are not fully aware of while thinking, and talking using that little voice in your head, but the thoughts and feelings that reside in your subconscious impact your personality and decisions. For example, your fears are stored in that portion of the brain and if something occurred during your day that reminded you of that fear, your body and mind would react, you would most likely physically move away from
As the film begins, it is clear from the start that the emotions care a great deal for Riley. As the primary emotion, Joy takes it upon herself to be the leader of the group and does everything in her power to make sure every moment of Riley’s day is a happy one. Sadness, voiced by Phyllis Smith, is not sure of her purpose in Riley’s mind, so her fellow emotions attempt to keep her involvement to a minimum, in fear of putting a damper on Riley’s mood. The rest of the emotions, Anger (Lewis Black), Disgust (Mindy Kaling), and Fear (Bill Hader), keep Riley’s life fair, poison free, physically and socially, and safe, respectively (Inside Out). A stand out character who appears is Bing Bong, voiced by Richard Kind, Riley’s imaginary friend from when she was a
Inside Out is a movie based on the emotions of the life progression of Riley. The movie starts off when Riley was born. In a dark room Joy ascends to a button, which is the control center in Riley’s mind, and touches it which makes Riley give a little baby giggle. As a result of Riley’s giggle, a glowing little ball is produced, a memory, and because the memory was created by Joy, the memory ball is yellow. Then after 33 seconds, Sadness comes and touches the button to make Riley cry. As Riley grows into a toddler Fear comes into Headquarters. He helps Riley in her interaction with her surroundings as she plays, and keeps her safe from electrical outlets and cords. Then when Riley is introduced to a plate of broccoli we first encounter Disgust

The film Inside Out (2015) produced and directed by Pixar Animation Studios and Walt Disney Pictures, is a movie based on the emotions of a 11-year-old girl called Riley. The film’s principal characters are five emotions located in Riley’s brain. These emotions are Joy, Sadness, Disgust, Fear, and Anger. All of them work together inside Riley’s mind to accomplish one goal: Her Happiness. Everything revolves around Riley because she is facing a hard move with her family from Minnesota to San Francisco, leading to big changes around his life, attitude, and behavior. Most of the movie is set inside Riley’s mind, where the emotions operate her brain’s control center. The film explains that our brain has functions that control our responses to certain situations, and the ways that we handle these situations are controlled by our emotions. Also, it explains that our personalities and identities are defined by certain emotions, which shape how we handle and express to specific situations. The decisions and actions that the emotions choose to do in Riley’s life will drive the plot. Inside Out (2015) will not only explain through its colors, lighting, and camera shots the storyline of the movie, but also the importance of emotions and how they play a big role in our lives.
