 WHAT IS IT?

According to C.G. Morris, “…a complex

affective experience that involves diffuse
physiological as well as psychological changes
and corresponding expressions manifested
through overt behaviours”.

The word ‘emotion’ comes from the Latin

word ‘emovere’, that means ‘to agitate’, ‘to
excite’, ‘to stir up’.

 CHARACTERISTICS OF EMOTION
 Emotions are subjective.
 Same stimulus may not create similar emotions in all.
 Similar emotions can be developed by different stimuli in different
situations.
 An emotion may lead to the generation of similar other emotions.
 Emotions rise abruptly and subside slowly.
 Emotional experience involves physiological arousal and agitations like
bodily changes and glandular secretions.
 Every emotion arises from certain instinctual drives.
 Emotion is primarily the experience of pleasant or unpleasant feelings.
 Emotion ensues from a stimulus present in the environment or from our
imaginations or thoughts.
 Emotion and intelligence are inversely related.
 Emotion is sometimes displaced from its actual situation.
 Emotion arises due to cognition of the stimulus and consequently results
in behavioural reactions.
