    Module 5
    The Emotional Self

    Name: ______________________________ Rating: ___________


    Course: __________________ Date: _____________

    Learning Outcomes:

    At the end of this module, you are expected to:

    1. Discuss the nature and kinds of emotions;


    2. Identify the physiological reactions to emotions;
    3. Enumerate ways of controlling and managing emotions; and
    4. Explain the primary emotional responses of the self to achieve emotional
    maturity.

    EXPLORE

    Emotions are complex; they are a state of feeling that results in physical and
    psychological changes that influence our behavior.
    The physiology of emotion is closely linked to arousal of the nervous system, with
    various states and strengths of arousal relating, apparently, to particular emotions.
    Emotion is also linked to behavioral tendency. Extroverted people are more likely to be
    social and express their emotions, while introverted people are more likely to be more
    socially withdrawn and conceal their emotions.
    Emotion is often the driving force behind motivation, positive or negative.
    According to other theories, emotions are not causal forces but simply syndromes of
    components, which might include motivation, feeling, behavior, and physiological
    changes, but not one of these components is the emotion. Nor is the emotion an entity
    that causes these components.
    Emotions involve different components, such as subjective experience, cognitive
    processes, expressive behavior, psychophysiological changes, and instrumental
    behavior.
    The different components of emotion are categorized somewhat differently,
    depending on the academic discipline. In psychology and philosophy, emotion typically
    includes a subjective, conscious experience characterized primarily by
    psychophysiological expressions, biological reactions, and mental states. A similar multi-
    componential description of emotion is found in sociology.

    Lesson 5.1 - Fundamentals of Emotions


    Based on Plutchik's (1980) configuration of emotion, there are eight fundamental
    emotions, namely joy, trust, fear, surprise, sadness, disgust, anger, and
    anticipation.through quality and free education.

    Plutchick's wheel of emotion demonstrates how emotions are related to one


    another (Figure 3). Emotions adjacent to one another in the wheel are closely related
    and can be combined. The combinations can be found on the outer part of the wheel;
    for instance, love is the combination of joy and trust. Meanwhile, emotions across each
    other are conceptual opposites. For example, sadness is the opposite of joy, and
    anticipation is the opposite of surprise. The eight fundamental emotions also come in a
    variety of intensities. Those nearest to the center signify the most intense forms of while
    those farthest from the center are the weaker forms.

    Lesson 5.2 - Emotion Management Strategies


    In any social interaction, feelings may arise. These emotions may be positive or
    negative and may affect relationships as well. Thus, people should always keep their
    emotions in check to avoid misunderstanding and miscommunication.

    What are the best strategies for managing emotions? How can you avoid
    outbursts and negative feelings towards others? Langley (2012) lays out some tips on
    managing emotions:

    1. Smile to make yourself feel good. Face a mirror and smile. After some time, your
    mood will be better and you might even laugh naturally. Do it for at least 30
    seconds.
    2. Smile to make others feel good. Smiling opens up your connection with others. It
    also leads to experiencing empathy.
    3. Get up and move. Exercise activates happy hormones that include endorphin,
    dopamine, and serotonin, among others. Movement is also important for the
    lymphatic system to get the toxins out of your body. Get up from your desk and
    jump and bounce regularly.
    4. Check in with your body. Scan your body by feeling the tensions building up. Learn
    to relate these tensions with the emotion you feel to understand how your feelings
    affect your physiology.
    5. Physically remove the tension. If you feel tense in your arms, shake them. Likewise,
    if there is tension in your chest, stretch and breathe deeply.
    6. Breathe. Perform diaphragmatic or deep breathing by contracting your
    diaphragm. Let your lower lungs fill with oxygen to pass around your body and
    brain. You will feel a tingly sensation and your belly will expand. Do this exercise for
    at least 60 seconds. The body cannot sustain anger when you are breathing
    deeply.
    7. Talk to someone. It is healthier to vent your anger and frustrations to a friend rather
    than to suppress them. Express your feelings so you can start to resolve the
    situation.
    8. Disengage and re-engage emotions. Learn to park your emotions to deal with at
    a later time, but do not avoid them. You must acknowledge your feelings then
    utilize your emotional intelligence to improve them.
    9. Label your emotions. After acknowledging your emotions, label them. This activity
    reduces the intensity of your emotions.
    10. Label emotions for others. You can often defuse a tense situation by
    acknowledging the feelings of others. When you ask, "I sense that you are angry.
    Can you tell me how you feel the other person will be encouraged to consider
    and label his/her emotion as well. He/She may respond with Yes, I feel angry," or
    "No, I am not angry; I am annoyed."
