Women better than men at IDing emotions (BART), high self-monitorers better than low for men only
Parts of PNS
Autonomic, Somatic
Parts of autonomic NS
Sympathetic, parasympathetic
SNS, PNS in
ANS
Expends energy, bodily resources
sympathetic NS
Regulates/conserves bodily resources
parasympathetic NS
which part of the ANS is activated as a unit?
sympathetic
which part of the ANS works with homeostasis functions?
parasympathetic
lie detection: ancient China to 19th century
rice in mouth: dry = guilty
lie detection in Arabia
hot iron test: burned tongue = guilty
4 ways to fool polygraph
drugs, internal/external stimuli, biofeedback training, distraction
common sense view of emotion
perception --> emotion --> behavioral/physiological changes
James
perception --> behavioral/physiological changes --> emotion
subjective experience is ____ of bodily changes
result
components of emotion according to James
subjective, behavioral, physiological
Cannon
perception --> thalamic arousal --> emotional feeling and bodily changes
Cannon's major contributions
emphasized role of brain, deemphasized role of body
Bermond (’91)
Subjects with spinal cord injury- physiological experience lower, but subjective experience is not
Bermond counters...
James
Chwalisz et al. (’88)
In control group, used people who were wheelchair bound for reasons other than spinal cord, no group differences in intensity of emotion
intensity of _____ correlated with ____
anger and other emotions, lesion locations
STUDY: Generalized ANS activation
Hess and Selya
Walter Hess
Defense response
Increased SNS activity, hair stands on end
Defense response
Hans Selya

defined how body reacts to stress
General Adaptation System
General Adaptation System
stress --> hypothalamus --> cortisol and sympathetic NS
3 phases of General Adaptation System
alarm, resistance, exhaustion
where does cortisol come in in General Adaptation System?
resistance
Schachter & Singer (1962)- RESULTS
Non-specific arousal elicits emotions, but cognitions arising from event have “steering function” to differentiate emotions
Schachter’s two-factor theory
Event --> ANS arousal --> cognition --> emotion
Schachter & Singer (1962) claim to participants
Said was study of “effects of vitamin supplement on vision” (actually adrenaline)
STUDY: Groups that didn’t know about effects of drug showed more of emotions similar to condition that they were in
Schachter & Singer (1962)
STUDY: Placebo group was happier than epinephrine-informed group in euphoria condition

modulation, initiation
Amplification or de-amplification of feelings elicited by appropriate stimuli
