Mastering Emotions: Video Analysis
When watching the various brief clips by Dr. Paul Ekman I noticed how driven he was to get his findings out about how our emotions relate to our facial expressions and also how to spot how others feel and what they may be concealing. Most importantly he talked about Evolutionary Psychology, which is concerned with the evolutionary origins of behaviors and mental processes, their adaptive value, and the purpose they continue to serve (pg. 17).
Out of all videos I viewed a couple stood out the most. The video titled Mastering Emotions was my most favorite and what I considered to be the most effective and relatable. His findings stated in this video I believe were very accurate because if something matters to you then you do care, and you do

    A psychologist studying the behavior of Amy Winehouse using the neuroscience perspective may explain that her reason getting addicted to drugs is because the body and brain enable emotions

    Evolutionary Psychology is an approach to psychology, in which knowledge and principles from evolutionary biology are put to use in research on the structure of the human mind. This field really examines natural selection and how it favors behaviors that help keep a species going from one generation to the next. Psychologists studying the behavior of Amy Winehouse using the evolutionary perspective may explain why her children could be good singers or could also become addicted to drugs.…

    Cultural Equivalence Model

    The Cultural Equivalence Model predicts that "individuals should be equally accurate in understanding the emotions of in-group and out-group members" (Soto & Levenson, 2009). This model is rooted in Darwin’s (1872) evolutionary theory, where he noted that both humans and animals share similar postural expressions of emotions such as anger/aggression, happiness, and fear. These similarities support the evolution argument that social animals (including humans) have a natural ability to relay emotional signals with one another, a notion shared by several academics (Chevalier-Skolnik off, 1974; Linnan koski, Laasko, Aul-anko, & Leinonen, 1994).…

    Describe & Discuss the Biological Approach

    Psychologists from the biological approach assume that behaviour and experiences are caused by activity in the nervous system of the body. The things that people think and feel, say and do are caused, one way or another, by electrochemical events occurring within and between the neurones that make up their nervous system, particular those in the brain. Many biopsychologists also agree that because the development of the brain is determined (at least partly) by the genes a person inherits, that behaviour may be influenced by genetic factors. Furthermore, because the genes we inherit are the result of evolution, many biopsychologists think that behavioural and psychological characteristics may have evolutionary explanations.…

    Charles Darwin's Theory Of Emotions

    Emotions seem to rule our every day life. We make all of our decisions based on whether we feel happy, sad, scared, angry or disgusted. An emotion is a complex psychological state that involves three distinct components: a subjective experience, a psychological response, and a behavioural or expressive response (Hockenbury & Hockenbury, 2007). Charles Darwin (1809-1882) is the father of emotion; he published the first ever book about the study of biopsychology of emotion - “The Expression of Emotions in Man and Animals” (Darwin, 1872). In his book he made two major contributions, one, that animal emotions are similar to human emotions, and the other, that there are fundamental and basic emotions present across all species. For him, emotion…

    Mock Interviews

    -In order to exam psychology one must look to our past to determine that which lies in the future. By looking at the evolution of ones species, it should explain why we behave in the ways we do today. Evolutionary psychology (EP) will or possibly could be the standard someday in the future. I feel the object is when we look at what permits us to decode our past, this will help us accurately write our future. We may be decedents of animals; yet this does not mean that we have to constantly act as if we could be uncivilized. I have always felt that in my heart has been a string devotion to biology, and as an evolutionary psychologist, I understand that behavior is just an adaptation of body to ensure survival. This places EP more into the scope of biology than psychology. I prefer to understand and study the Animal-Human Connection (Schultz & Schultz, 2008: p. 153.).…

    AdlerianTheoryweek1

    Alfred Adler contributed groundbreaking theories to psychology that far surpassed his mentors and paved the way for modern psychology today. Adler was a contemporary of Sigmund Freud at the turn of the last century. Although he had great respect for Freud he felt restricted by Freud’s theories that put the cause of human behavior as constructs of biology, and that every person suffered from the same problems. Adler believed that human beings were more than mere repeating patterns physiology. Adler believed that humans created their own behaviors based on their experiences and emotions. This concept has led to an incredible field of study that encompasses every aspect of human nature, and understanding of the incredibly vast spectrum of human behavior.…

    How Do Anthropologists Understand Other People's Psychologies?

    How do anthropologists understand other people’s psychologies? It is believed that humans are both biological and cultural beings, making them biocultural. Despite being fairly new to the world of anthropology, the biocultural perspective has built on history of research on how cultural and social influences shape the psychology, emotion, and personality, of the individual. Anthropologists have made sense of individual psychologies through many different theories.…

    Evolutionary Psychology Controversy

    A new idea is never accepted easily; when an idea first comes into existence many questions are raised before the notion convinces anyone. Along with a new theory comes many new controversies and critiques which go against the bright new idea. An example of a brilliant idea which still has many controversies surrounding it is the notion of evolutionary psychology. As this field progresses into the world, many brilliant scientists from around the world reason why they think it’s false. Both supporters and adversaries not only helped shed light for each other, but also helped shed light in helping me decide whether I wanted to stand behind this new field, or be among the many that decline it.…

    Why Women Smile

    Psychology’s most persistent issue and oldest debate is over whether or not human traits and behavior are natural and inherited or if they develop as a product of one’s experience and environment, nurture. Modern day psychologists believe that nurture works on what nature endows. Cunningham agrees with these psychologists and argues in her essay that the behavior to smile is natural when a person is…

    Dealing With Stress Video Analysis

    I do not know where to start this reflection, however I clearly recall how long it took me to start to find a place in the house to sit in order to videotape. I basically procrastinated the videotaping itself, I have no idea why I was so against being in front of the camera, but something about it was making me uncomfortable. So at the time gotten closer I started calling one of my friends in this course to assist me with videoing, and so I can also return the favor, which worked out perfectly fine. On the other hand, the feeling I got from another person videoing me was weird and I felt insecure, especially under the eye of the camera was surreal. I mean, I am used to using the popular social media of snap-chatting, but when I put my head that this is a professional work, I automatically felt…

    Video Analysis: 6 Stumbling Blocks

    Situations where two or more people from different cultures have difficulties or hesitation in taking communications, are know as the “6 Stumbling Blocks”. As I watched the three videos, I realized that in all of them, there were at least one of the “6 Stumbling Blocks”, intercepting the communications made within two people from different cultures. Since it is hard to understand what the companion is thinking about. These stumbling blocks are indeed very cruel things. It can be a thing that triggers collapse among people’s relationship. Also, I really understand the feeling of misunderstanding the other’s thoughts, as I myself have actually lived abroad, where they have completely different cultures as the ones here in Japan. Therefore, I…
