Norman says that “affect is a vague sensation that may be either conscious or subconscious, but emotion is the conscious experience of such affect” (Norman 55). Emotions are not the result of a forced action; emotions occur naturally. Karin Koenig agrees with this statement by saying that “feelings belong to our primitive defense system and are rooted in our collective biology and the history of the species. They are neurological, biochemical reactions that happen on a cellular level in response to stimuli. They don’t require thinking” (Koenig “How Do I Know When I Have a Feeling or an Emotion?”). Emotions are used to differentiate the moral and the corrupt; the wrong and the right. We cannot survive without our emotions and feelings because our different emotions help us distinguish the good things from the bad things. “Our emotions help us make decisions. Studies show that when a person's emotional connections are severed in the brain, he cannot make even simple decisions” (Hein “Emotions- Importance Of; Management of Negative Feelings; Positive Value of”). People whose emotional needs are not fulfilled become depressed which usually leads to their death by committing suicide(Hein “Teen Suicide”). “Teenagers around the world are killing themselves to put an end to their intense emotional pain” (Hein “Teen Suicide”). Teenagers especially need their emotional needs to be fulfilled because…

According to the article it states that, “Sharing emotions and empathy", "Motivation to overcome difficulties and optimisms" and extroversion correlated proportionally with them. The function feeling correlated proportionally with the factor "Sharing emotions and empathy" and it correlated inversely with the factor "Recognition of nonverbal expression of emotion of the other people”. The article simply explains how one can use his or her emotions to complete task in many different forms. For me this article in this paragraph applies to me. I tend to use my emotions for decisions at times, and I definitely motivate myself with my emotions in order to motivate others to feel the importance of what he or she is…
According to the James-Lange theory, each specific emotion is accompanied by a unique pattern of physiological responses. James reasoned that emotion occurs when we become aware of our body’s physiological arousal and emotional behavior in reaction to an exciting stimulus. According to him, “The bodily changes follow directly the Perception of the exciting fact, and that our feeling of the same changes as they occur is the emotion” (James, 1884/1948, p. 291; italics in original).…
Mrs. Doubtfire is a film that focuses on a marriage going through a divorce. As a result of the divorce Daniel, the father, is only allowed to see his children once a week. In an attempt to spend more time with his children, Daniel disguises as the perfect old English nanny that his wife, Miranda, is looking to hire. As the new nanny, Daniel becomes the perfect father and spouse.

The first two concepts of interpersonal communication running through the film are those of relationship deterioration and repair.

In this paper I will explore these three concepts, and how they are applied in the film as well as throughout the characters relationships with one another.…

Ekmannn’s study suggests that cognitive factors affect our emotions after the biological factors do. The study’s aim was to find a relationship between the physical state and emotions. The participants were given different emotions, which they had to represent with their facial expressions and hold them for about 10 seconds. The participants physiological systems were measured after that and the results were that participants that picked different emotions had different responses in their physiological system. The participants that picked emotions such as anger had for example a higher increase of temperature in their bodies than the participants that did not have anger and picked an emotion such as sadness. Therefore what was found from this experiment was that emotions can be measured by the changes in their physiological system.…

Interpersonal communication is a form of communication involving people who are dependent upon each other and with a common history. There are various aspects of interpersonal communication that can be discussed. This paper looks at the principles of interpersonal communication, its barriers and relationship with emotional intelligence. Four principles are identified, which are: interpersonal communication is inescapable; interpersonal communication is irreversible; interpersonal communication is complicated and interpersonal communication is contextual. The barriers that are discussed include: psychological barriers; cultural barriers; language barriers; environmental barriers; and physical barriers. Emotional intelligence has been identified as a basis of interpersonal communication since it is the ability to control negative emotions, which is a communication barrier.…
That people think the spread of their foul moods affects on others’ emotion unexpectedly is considered the second reason. Psychologists have proved that freely expressed feelings can be infected easily from one to one. For instance, a staff loses his control over anger, and behaves rudely at a meeting; absolutely, he does infect the rest by his feeling. In turn, all members at the meeting use the same fury or even stronger to criticize him. Especially, when confiding something nasty to confidants who love us, we make them worry about us. As the result, their concern sometimes deteriorates into agitation. Briefly, the effect of emotional spread on others is another principal contributor to the bias in putting feelings in heart.…
