<div class="topicTextNotes"><div align="left"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size:12pt">What is the purpose
|
|
of emotions? What do they do for us? They certainly have a significant
|
|
effect on us, but what is it all for?</span></font><span></span></div>
|
|
<div align="left"><font face="Times New Roman" size="5"><span style="font-size:18pt"><b>Motivation</b></span></font><span></span></div>
|
|
<div align="left"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size:12pt">First of all, motivation
|
|
are 'e-motions'. They act to motivate us. Without emotions we would
|
|
probably not do very much and hence would not survive - at least in the evolved form we are in
|
|
now.</span></font><span></span></div>
|
|
<div align="left"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size:12pt">Motivations are
|
|
felt in the body. Our muscles tense or relax. Our blood vessels dilate or
|
|
contract. When we feel emotionally, we also feel physically. Our emotions can thus make us
|
|
feel uncomfortable or comfortable, sending us signals to do something urgently or to stay in our
|
|
comfortable state.</span></font><span></span></div>
|
|
<div align="left"><font face="Times New Roman" size="5"><span style="font-size:18pt"><b>Internal signals</b></span></font><span></span></div>
|
|
<div align="left"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size:12pt">Internally, for
|
|
example when we are trying to make understand something or make a decision,
|
|
we use our emotions to deduce whether what we have concluded is a good idea. Self-
|
|
Perception Theory and the Cognitive Appraisal Theories of Emotion explain how we deduce
|
|
our emotions by watching ourselves.</span></font><span></span></div>
|
|
<div align="left"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size:12pt">When we think about
|
|
something that contradicts our values, our emotions will tell us that it is
|
|
bad. When we think about something that could hurt us, our emotions will tell us that this is not
|
|
a good idea. Just by imagining what might happen, our emotions are still triggered and hence let
|
|
us make better decisions.</span></font><span></span></div>
|
|
<div align="left"><font face="Times New Roman" size="5"><span style="font-size:18pt"><b>Social signals</b></span></font><span></span></div>
|
|
<div align="left"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size:12pt">We generally wear
|
|
our hearts on our sleeves as our inner emotions are displayed on our outer
|
|
bodies. Our faces, in particular, have around 90 muscles, 30 of which have the sole purpose of
|
|
signalling emotion to other people.</span></font><span></span></div>
|
|
<div align="left"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size:12pt">Signals are generally
|
|
very useful, as they help others decide how to behave towards us. If
|
|
someone is looking angry, then attacking them is probably not a good idea. If they are looking
|
|
afraid then you could attack them or you could help them and thus earn their gratitude.</span></font><span></span></div>
|
|
<div align="left"><font face="Times New Roman" size="6"><span style="font-size:24pt"><b>So what?</b></span></font><span></span></div>
|
|
<div align="left"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size:12pt">You can use emotions
|
|
to motivate people. Connect good emotions with what you want them to
|
|
do, and bad emotions with what is not wanted.</span></font><span></span></div>
|
|
<div align="left"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size:12pt">Respond to the
|
|
signals you see in other people. Also notice how what you do affects those
|
|
emotions, thus connecting what you do with a real inner effect on them.</span></font><span></span></div>
|
|
<div align="left"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size:12pt">Also watch your
|
|
own emotions. They are signals that tell you something about what is
|
|
happening in the inner you. This can be very useful as we often do not realise what is going on
|
|
in that deep, dark subconscious inside of us.</span></font><span></span></div>
