The Consequences Of Emotions

Sadness, fear, and anger are emotions that many people view as strictly negative. Society assumes these emotions’ only purpose is to damage people’s lives, and because these emotions are viewed as harmful, many people try to avoid them. However, these emotions are not given the credit they deserve. People encourage others to be optimistic and positive, but human beings are not supposed to be always happy. Negative emotions are surprisingly significant because they offer many benefits that positive emotions do not, but positive emotions are necessary as well. People’s lives are supposed to have a balance of each emotion in order to stay mentally and physically healthy. Even though people attempt to be happy all the time, they should accept

Lunsford, Ruszkiewicz and Walters (2016)... Chapter two of our textbook showcases how powerful emotions are in human beings and how they can be used in everyday life for arguments. Chapter two of our textbook begins by explaining to the reader how to identify and read for Pathos by using an example of Senator Marco Rubio’s speech on repression in Venezuela. Senator Rubio’s example flows perfectly into the next section of chapter two where the textbook explains how we can use Pathos to “feel the pain” of the group you are trying to connect to. Lastly, the textbook introduces its most important point for using Pathos to sustain an argument: when passionately fighting for change: use common human terms; you may be vastly more successful than using

Dayna was in a positive mood when she was first approached, but had a slight negative change in attitude when asked to pause her videogame before starting her intervention. The client's objective for today was to learn to regulate and express difficult emotions through the use of coping skills as evidenced by a decrease in verbal threats of harm to self or others to 1x per week. The skill used was "Opposite the Emotion". This skill requires the client to reflect on her emotions during a time of difficulty and do or think things that would make her feel the opposite. This writer asked the client if she could recall a time when she had threatened to hurt someone or herself to which the client responded that she has never done either and that

On one side stands the classical categorical approach that posits that genetically entrenched emotional categories exist universally across human beings. Meanwhile, the constructionist approach posits that our emotions are constructed by the same systems that “simulate” our reality and our sense of self inside our brains and thus hypothesizes that our emotions should also be susceptible to being neurologically informed by our own values, judgements, and experience. Because of this academic dance essential to moving science forward, humanity could be on the precipice of a paradigm shift in how we think about our emotions and finally resolve what neuroscientists call "the emotion paradox" by shining a spotlight on the constructed theory of emotion, which provides a richer framework for comprehending of how our emotions work and how they help simultaneously create and explain our reality while also, supposedly, conforming to the neurologic state of the evidence.

Ethical concerns come up every day but, when someone is a leader their decisions affect not only themselves but also their followers and the organization that they are associated with. Prior to this class, I have had very little experience in leadership roles. In my decision making process I always tried to consider how my decisions would impact others. If, in the event that a decision would be the best course of action for me, but may impact someone else in a less than positive way, I would do my best to minimize the negative impact or try to figure out a middle ground wherein the negative and positive impacts were shared and equally as possible. I feel that the insights gained in this class will prepare me for a leadership role in the future. By applying the servant-leadership model and enhancing my emotional intelligence I will be able to lead in an ethical way by being respectful of my followers and acknowledging their ideas and emotions as valid. Since I will likely be in various followership roles before I am in a leadership role I hope to employ emotional intelligence in this context as well and I hope that I will be able to be an effective servant follower, able to team build and critically think through situations to come to ethically sound decisions (Johnson, 2012).

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.

While there were theories surrounding the human system of emotions as was aforementioned, these concepts were still known to be speculative, and the inner workings of the human body as a whole remained enigmatic for centuries. Therefore the notion that any one person could harbor the ability to sway the passions that were supposedly dictated by humours, which were believed to be stagnant and involuntary, was mysterious and menacing. Roach encapsulates the fantastical and suspicious perception of actors as held by those of the pneumatic ideal,

The goal of the experiment conducted by Renner, Schwarz, Peters, and Huibers (2014) was to determine the effects of emotions in healthy individuals with a best possible self (BPS) writing and imagery exercise following a negative mood induction. The study included a total of 40 participants from Maastricht University, thirty-two women and 8 men. Initially, participants were assigned to either the experimental or control group. In the experimental group, subjects wrote about their best possible self for fifteen minutes and engaged in a mental imagery task for five minutes to reflect on what they had written in order to induce positive emotions. In the control group, subjects instead wrote about their typical day for the

Understanding individual Emotions and Moods in my career field is a crucial part of ensuring mission success. As defined by Robins and Judge, “Emotions are intense feeling that are directed at someone or something. Moods are feelings that tend to be less intense than emotions and that lack a contextual stimulus.” ( Robins & Judge, 2009). Emotions have the potential to shape an employee’s mood. From there, a mood can affect a lot in a person’s life from work productivity, job satisfaction, personal and family life (Carlson, Kacmar, Zivuska, Feguson, & Whitten, 2011). Moods have a high negative affect, a high positive affect, a low positive affect or a low negative affect (Robbins & Judge, 2009). Evolutionary Psychology and Affect Events theory are two important concepts to fully understand how important Emotions and Moods are, especially in my personal career field as a military policewoman.

It is believed that emotions are contagious and this would affect how other people feel also. We all know that every day when we walk into the office we don’t intend to spread bad mood around the office but circumstances happens and this leads us to get upset either way it’s not predicted. Emotions are intense feelings that are directed at someone or something. Moods are feelings that tend to be less intense that emotions and that often lack a contextual stimulus (Robbins &Judge, 2009). Leadership literature is full of studies attesting to consequences of a leader 's mood. One such study involved CEO’s and their top management teams and it showed that the more upbeat, energetic and enthusiastic the executive team was, the more co-operatively they worked together, and the better the company 's business results. The study also showed that an executive team that didn’t get along well managed the longer a company, the poorer the company 's market return.

Various types of theories have been established throughout history to help analyze social behavior in both animals and people. Psychologists use the six main perspectives to better rationalize human behavior and motivation: these perspectives are (but not limited to) the biological, social-cultural, cognitive, developmental, psychodynamic, and behavioral perspectives. These approaches helps psychologists and individuals further their understanding of social behavior and inner emotion.

There was the taste of blueberries in her mouth that did nothing to help with the discomfort and had only added more sorrow to what she was now experiencing. Wherever this hot dark place was and where the tang of blueberry in her mouth came from, only the gods knew and she was too young to be recognized by them as one of their servants to ask those questions. This only added to the enormous mountain of confusion her mind was unsuccessfully trying to sort out. The last thing she remembered was of a wonderful bed bell dream gift, but it had suddenly turned dark and scary.

Emotions and moods are part of our everyday lives. From the time we awake in the morning until the moment we close our eyes to sleep, we experience some type of emotion or mood. What are emotions and moods? Emotions are intense feelings that are directed at someone or something. Moods are feelings that tend to be less intense than emotions and that often (though not always) lack contextual stimulus (Robbins & Judge, 2009). A number of lifestyle events affect or emotions and moods. A new position at work that carries more responsibilities, moving to a new state or city, having a child, losing a loved one, and getting engaged or married can all have a bearing on our emotions and moods. These same lifestyle events can affect our emotions and moods and carry over into our work environment. A recent study determined that a person who starts his or her day in a “good mood” may experience a work event differently than when he or she is in a “bad mood”. Moreover, start-of-workday mood and the way employees feel after encountering work events may have an important relationship with daily work performance (Rothbard & Wilk, 2011).

“Anybody can become angry-that is easy, but to be angry with the right person, to the right degree, at the right time, for the right purpose, and in the right way - that is not within everybody 's power and is not easy” (Leonard, Miles & Ban der Kar, 1994, p. 203). This is a quote from Aristotle, which is consistent with what has been called emotion regulation (Gross, 1998).
