What is Emotions

In humans: mental states subjectively experienced as (typically) positive or negative feelings that are usually directed toward a specific object, and more or less frequently accompanied by physiological arousal, expressive reactions, or emotional behaviors. Typical examples are joy, sadness, fear, hope, anger, pity, pride, and envy. In artificial agents: corresponding processing states intended to simulate emotions of natural agents, usually humans. Note that depending on context, ‘emotion’ may also refer to the mechanism that produces emotions rather than to its products.

The consequences of sensations, as a puzzle that becomes action and effect of feeling something or feeling oneself. Emotions are rooted in the “state of feeling” the world that allows sustaining perceptions. These are associated with socially constructed forms of sensations.

Socially configured cognitive-affective states, experienced in the subjects' bodies.

Set of affective reactions of the organism characterized by an excitement before significant events, internal or external, and a short term.

Psychological and physiological reactions produced in response to a stimulus.

A natural intuitive feeling driving from an individual’s interactions with various sources.

This chapter deals with pleasure, arousal and dominance.

Refer to mental states (Cornelius, 1996). The cognitive perspective of emotions focuses on the role that thought plays in the process of emotions (Arnold, 1960).

The experience of feeling that guides our thoughts.

One’s temporary reaction to a person, event, or situation.

One of the STEPPS. Emotions are the states of feelings that result in physical and psychological changes that influence consumers’ behaviors and the tendencies for consumers to operate those behaviors. Emotions drive positive and negative motivations.

Defined as very complex psychological states, which include three distinct components: physiological state and response, subjective experience based on cognitive interpretation of emotion and behavioral answer. There are six universal and basic emotions: fear, disgust, anger, surprise, happiness and sadness.

A strong feeling deriving from one's circumstances, mood, or relationships with others.

Feelings generated by listening to AI-made music.

Emotions constitute an important subset of motivational systems. They are triggered by various antecedents that typically involve gain or loss, threat to one’s stock of resources or opportunity to get new ones. In the present model, these resources are viewed as second-order, in the sense that they refer to those that could be acquired through the action of other agents well disposed to provide them. While needs manage direct access to first-order resources such as food, water or shelter, emotions provide access through the intervention of other agents, such as parents nurturing their offspring. The critical point here is that the resources that emotions manage are not so much the agents themselves as their willingness to provide the desired access or protection. This predisposition is called commitment in the model. Emotions are thus viewed as commitment operators that play their role through communicative acts between committed partners.

Emotions are defined as “complex but coordinated feeling-arousal-purposive-expressive reactions to the significant events in our lives (e.g., an opportunity, a threat, a loss; Izard, 1993 AU174: The in-text citation "Izard, 1993" is not in the reference list.

Reeve (2015) further defined emotion as generating “brief, attention- getting busts of energy-like adaptive behavior” (p.10).

One of the cognitive parameter emerged from the interaction among various core cognitive processes according to the given external stimulus.

“Sensations as a result and as an antecedent of perceptions give rise to emotions as an effect of the processes of adjudication and correspondence between perceptions and sensations. Emotions understood as consequences of sensations can be seen as the puzzle that comes as an action and effect of feeling. Emotions are rooted in the states of feeling the world that allow us to hold perceptions associated with them. socially constructed forms of sensations” (Scribano, 2013: 102 AU53: The in-text citation "Scribano, 2013: 102" is not in the reference list.

Natural instinctive states of mind which derive from one's circumstances, mood, or relationships with others.

An individual’s feelings of anger, joy, excitement, frustration, fear, anxiety, sadness, etc.

In its social character, emotions are understood as built and constructed from the interaction of the subject with the world and with others, affecting the production and regulation of the social order.

A Generic term referring to subjective, conscious experiences that are characterized by psychophysiological expressions, biological reactions and mental states. Emotions are often associated with other human affective dimensions like mood and personality.

refer to mental states (Cornelius, 1996). The cognitive perspective of emotions focuses on the role that thought plays in the process of emotions (Arnold, 1960).

Physiological, psychological, and behavioral reactions in mammals (especially humans) before some stimuli. Feelings that mediate human rationality.

Phenomena present in biological systems by which an adaptive agent is capable of appraising the concern-relevance of situations and provide flexible responses through generation of physiological, cognitive and behavioral readiness.

One of the STEPPS. Emotions are the states of feelings that result in physical and psychological changes that influence consumers’ behaviors and the tendencies for consumers to operate those behaviors. Emotions drive positive and negative motivations.

Changes in states of action readiness, mediated by physiological processes.

These are psycho-biological reactions that people experience with different intensity depending on the information and the perceptions they receive from the environment and after a subjective assessment that each person makes, and which directly affects their personal well-being.

Reaction to the information received from our environment, the intensity of which depends on the subjective evaluations we make and where previous knowledge and beliefs have a great influence.

Should be understood as a state of the mind brought by neurophysiological process and changes associated with feelings.

They, however, have no precise and undisputed de??nition, neither of basic emotions (such as sadness) nor of more complicated emotions (such as embarrassment).

The experience of feeling that guides our thoughts.

Complex neurophysiological systems with visceral, behavioural and reflective levels operating on biological, neurological and psychological systems.

Emotions are basic cognitive elements necessary to explain not only human thinking but also to design systems that must take decisions under complex, dynamic and fuzzy conditions. At the same time emotions can be considered as informational data about real or symbolic objects that any entity adds as a personal meaning to the meanings socially shared about those objects.

The individual’s personal awareness of humor, mood, attitude and feelings. The individual’s ability to deal with personal and work life as well as to build and cope with the idiosyncrasies of personal and workplace relationships.
