feelings and the way we express ourselves are strange and powerful. And emotions are not just chronic psychological phenomena, but affect our bodies and our health. Because so many emotions have an infectious quality, our emotions and the behaviors that drive you also affect the minds, bodies, and health of those around us. This is true even if your current feelings are for a variety of good feelings. Or not. Your power of both good and bad is stronger than you can possibly imagine. Numerous studies have shown that people with a positive outlook on life tend to live longer, more fulfilling lives than their irrational and aggressive neighbors. Fear, anger, and other extreme emotions and the way we deal with them are closely linked to what is called depression. And stress is so powerful that it can kill you directly in any number of ways, if you are given the right opportunity. For better or worse we spend most of our lives revolving around leaves like a spirit of competition. Before we can hope to exploit these feelings, we must first understand them. [Introduction] How do you think this person feels? What about him? And he? What about this one? It’s not really hard to tell, is it? Most of us are better off than we think we are at learning the mean words and phrases.
Understanding, among others, but not all, psychologists, such as psychiatrist Paul Ekman, that facial expressions are generally cultural. So Greek, British, American, Samoan, or Nigerian would all be able to discern the same basic emotions; joy, sorrow, disgust, anger, fear, and wonder, just by looking at your face. And our conversations do not simply involve emotions. According to the Facial Feedback Hypothesis, they can help control our emotions, too. The act of smiling too much, even if you are not happy, can actually raise your mood just as much as teasing can. This way, strangely enough, a recent randomized controlled clinical trial suggested that a small Botox injection into the forehead may reduce depression. Because it seems hard to feel down when your muscles are frozen. Yes whether your face is paralyzed or not, some people are better at learning your feelings than others. For example, introverts are generally better at expressing human emotions, while extroverts are generally better at expressing themselves. And you may have heard embarrassing stories or have seen firsthand how different cultures express feelings through the touch of a remote object. For example, in the United States, this is a symbol of peace, but you do not want to investigate it in the UK. And a thumbs up is a "good job" in many countries, but if you throw that thumb in Greece, let's say you can't make new friends.
Emotions, however, involve more than facial expressions and gestures, and it is all about our sense of touch. So how do we feel about all these feelings, and how many different emotions are there? Back in the 1970's, American psychologist Carol Izard identified ten basic human emotions that range from infancy to childhood. They are: happiness, surprise, sadness, anger, disgust, contempt, shame, fear, regret, and interest or happiness. Some have since suggested that "pride" should be added to the list, while others believe that love should be defined as a basic emotion, but Izard has argued that these and other emotions are a common combination of the ancient decade. Today, some psychologists describe our emotional experience as using a 2-dimensional model. The prevailing view is that any feelings you may have at a time, such as, reading Harry Potter or something are expressed on the spectrum, and as a combination of valence, speaking almost "good" or "bad", and arousing - happy or not happy, basically. So if you both feel really happy and optimistic when Harry finally makes Voldemort happy, you can say he is happy. On the other hand, if you are in that part of Deathly Hallows where Harry, Ron and Hermoine are simply wandering over the lam in a difficult situation, perhaps your feelings are very low on the other side of the spectrum. In this situation, feeling depressed can be a combination of negative emotions and a lack of happiness. So almost all emotions can drop by degrees on this 2-dimensional scale.
Like panic means you are more fearful if you are just scared, just as anger is a form of extreme anger rather than just madness. These symptoms - good versus bad, arousal arousal compared to low arousal - affect our moods, and so do our bodies. Because, you will remember that psychology is biological. And when it comes to the physical effects of our emotions, it goes well with the way you would expect.
