emotion

[Guest agitateddist]

I know its easy but I've been staring at books for that long my brain has ceased and my head is spinning(doesn't help being dyslexic) can anyone help and please, please keep it simple.

 

James-Lange and cannon-Bard theories of emotion give one criticism of each theory.

 

Thanks

In psychology and common use, emotion is the language of a person's internal state of being, normally based in or tied to their internal (physical) and external (social) sensory feeling. Love, hate, courage, fear, joy, and sadness can all be described in both psychological and physiological terms. Emotion is the realm where thought and physiology are inextricably entwined, and where the 'self' is inseparable from our individual perceptions of value and judgement toward ourselves and others.

I like that definition.
