Basic emotional states: characteristic
Emotions are characterized by three parameters:
- Valence. This is the so-called tone of emotions: they can be negative and positive. An interesting fact is that negative emotions emit much more than positive ones.
- Интенсивность.The power of emotional experience is evaluated here. External physiological manifestations are the more pronounced, the stronger the emotion. This parameter is closely related to the autonomic nervous system and the central nervous system.
- StenosisThis parameter affects the activity of human behavior. It is presented in two options: sthenic and asthenic. Asthenic emotions contribute to the paralysis of actions: a person is lethargic and apathetic. Stenicus, on the contrary, encourage action.
Kinds
Emotional states of a person are divided into 5 categories, which are identified by the strength, quality and duration of manifestation:
- Mood.One of the longest emotional states. It affects human activity and can occur both gradually and suddenly. Moods are positive, negative, temporary, and stable.
- Affective emotional states.This is a group of short-term emotions that suddenly cover a person and are characterized by a bright manifestation in behavior. Despite the short duration, the effects of affects on the psyche are very large and have a destructive character, reducing its ability to organize and an adequate assessment of reality. This state can be controlled only by individuals with a developed will.
- Stressful emotional states.They occur when a person gets into an extreme situation from a subjective point of view. Strong stress can be accompanied by an affect if great emotional damage has been incurred. On the one hand, stress is a negative phenomenon that adversely affects the nervous system, and on the other hand, it mobilizes a person, which sometimes allows him to save his life.
- FrustrationIt is characterized by a feeling of difficulties and obstacles, introducing a person into a depressed state. In the behavior there is anger, sometimes aggressiveness, as well as a negative reaction to the events taking place, regardless of their nature.
- Emotional states of passion.This category of emotions is caused by the human reaction to material and spiritual needs: for example, a strong desire for something causes in him a desire for an object that is difficult to overcome. There is activity in behavior, a person feels an increase in strength and, more often, becomes more impulsive and initiative.
Together with this classification, there is a more detailed one that divides all emotions into 2 categories.

- joy;
- anger;
- contempt;
- surprise;
- fear;
- disgust;
- sadness
The essence of the main emotions is that everyone experiences them.people who had a harmonious development without pathologies from the nervous system. They are equally manifest (albeit in varying degrees and quantities) among representatives of different cultures and social environments.
This is due to the presence of certain brain structures that are responsible for one or another emotion. Thus, a certain set of probable emotional experiences is laid in a person initially.
On the other hand, there is another category.emotions - variable. These are the experiences that are caused by the specifics of the environment, education, culture. Their difference from the basic ones is that they are manifested in human behavior unequally.
