Emotion is a state of biological arousal that is described along a spectrum ranging from anxiety to depression, with a non-aroused state of euthymia. It is a complex reaction pattern, produced by some stimulus that involves experiential, behavioral, and physiological elements. [1] As a distinct, integrated psychophysiological response system, emotion is described by three distinct response systems [2], which include:
Theories of Emotion
James-Lange three-stage theory
Schachter & Singer’s arousal-interpretation theory
Cognitive theories
Lazarus’s cognitive appraisal theory
Power & Dalgleish--SPAARS
