Definition Slides Emotion = a response of the whole organism, involving (1) physiological arousal, (2) expressive behaviors, and (3) conscious experience. James-Lange Theory = the theory that our experience of emotion is our awareness of our physiological responses to emotion-arousing stimuli. 19
Cannon-Bard Theory = the theory that an emotion-arousing stimulus simultaneously triggers (1) physiological responses and (2) the subjective experience of emotion. Two-factor Theory = the Schachter-Singer theory that to experience emotion one must (1) be physically aroused and (2) cognitively label the arousal. Polygraph = a machine, commonly used in attempts to detect lies, that measure several of the physiological responses accompanying emotion (such as perspiration and cardiovascular and breathing changes). 20
Facial Feedback = the effect of facial expressions on experienced emotions, as when a facial expression of anger or happiness intensifies feelings of anger or happiness. Catharsis = emotional release. The catharsis hypothesis maintains that releasing aggressive energy (through action or fantasy) relieves aggressive urges. Feel-Good Do-Good Phenomenon = people s tendency to be helpful when already in a good mood. 21
Well-being = self-perceived happiness or satisfaction with life. Used along with measures of objective well-being (for example, physical and economic indicators) to evaluate people s quality of life. Adaptation-level Phenomenon = our tendency to form judgments (of sounds, of lights, of income) relative to a neutral level defined by our prior experience. Relative Deprivation = the perception that we are worse off relative to those with whom we compare ourselves. 22
Behavioral Medicine = an interdisciplinary field that integrates behavior and medical knowledge and applies that knowledge to health and disease.. Health Psychology = a subfield of psychology that provides psychology's contribution to behavioral medicine. Stress = the process by which we perceive and respond to certain events, called stressors, that we appraise as threatening or challenging. 23
General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS) = Selye s concept of the body s adaptive response to stress in three phases alarm, resistance, exhaustion. Coronary Heart Disease = the clogging of the vessels that nourish the heart muscle; the leading cause of death in North America. Type A = Friedman and Rosenman s term for competitive, hard-driving, impatient, verbally aggressive, and anger-prone people. 24
Type B = Friedman and Rosenman s term for easygoing, relaxed people. Psychophysiological Illness = literally, mind-body illness; any stressrelated physical illness, such as hypertension and some headaches. Psychoneuroimmunology (PNI) = the study of how psychological, neural, and endocrine processes together affect the immune system and resulting health. 25
Lymphocytes = the two types of white blood cells that are part of the body s immune system; B lymphocytes form in the bone marrow and release antibodies that fight bacterial infections; T lymphocytes form in the thymus and other lymphatic tissue and attack cancer cells, viruses, and foreign substances. 26
