Description

Emotions are complex whole-person responses that involve behavioral dimensions as diverse as muscular activity, subjective experience, attention and thinking, and not infrequently (but not necessarily) have a rapid onset outside awareness (Lang, 1970; 1988; Leventhal, 1984; Mauss, Levenson, McCarter, Wilhelm & Gross, 2005). Their seemingly imperative quality and the fact that we feel them come from within may sometimes distract us from seeing they are signals that tell about our contact with the outside world. However, that is exactly where their value lies. The contribution emotions can have to our wellbeing is directly related to the way they influence our interaction with our environment. Emotions often involve salient bodily sensations and appraisals related to what is going on at the moment between us and our environment and to what action we are prepared to take. They also involve focusing our attention to identify specific data that make particular sense in the context of the ongoing emotion. These include, for instance, options for creative activity in the context of positive emotions (Frederickson & Branigan, 2005) or potential threats and options for avoidance in the context of anxiety (Leventhal, 1984; Lang, 1988).
