Physical / Emotional feelings

Page 2: Physical & emotional feelings

Introduction • Emotions are physiological, behavioral, and/or communicative reactions to stimuli that are cognitively processed and experienced as emotional.

• Primary emotions are innate emotions that are experienced for short periods of time and appear rapidly, usually as a reaction to an outside stimulus.

• The primary emotions are joy, distress, anger, fear, surprise, and disgust. 

Page 3: Physical & emotional feelings

• Secondary emotions are not as innate as primary emotions, and they do not have a corresponding facial expression that makes them universally recognizable. 

• Secondary emotions are processed by a different part of the brain that requires higher order thinking; therefore, they are not reflexive. 

• Secondary emotions are love, guilt, shame, embarrassment, pride, envy, and jealousy.

Perspectives on Emotion

How did you learn to express your emotions?

•  Like many aspects of communication and interaction, you likely never received any formal instruction on expressing emotions. 

• Instead, we learn through observation, trial and error, and through occasional explicit guidance (e.g., “boys don’t cry” or “smile when you meet someone”).
