  • About Emotions There Are 8 Primary Emotions. You Are Born with These
    About Emotions There are 8 primary emotions. You are born with these emotions wired into your brain. That wiring causes your body to react in certain ways and for you to have certain urges when the emotion arises. Here is a list of primary emotions: Eight Primary Emotions Anger: fury, outrage, wrath, irritability, hostility, resentment and violence. Sadness: grief, sorrow, gloom, melancholy, despair, loneliness, and depression. Fear: anxiety, apprehension, nervousness, dread, fright, and panic. Joy: enjoyment, happiness, relief, bliss, delight, pride, thrill, and ecstasy. Interest: acceptance, friendliness, trust, kindness, affection, love, and devotion. Surprise: shock, astonishment, amazement, astound, and wonder. Disgust: contempt, disdain, scorn, aversion, distaste, and revulsion. Shame: guilt, embarrassment, chagrin, remorse, regret, and contrition. All other emotions are made up by combining these basic 8 emotions. Sometimes we have secondary emotions, an emotional reaction to an emotion. We learn these. Some examples of these are: o Feeling shame when you get angry. o Feeling angry when you have a shame response (e.g., hurt feelings). o Feeling fear when you get angry (maybe you’ve been punished for anger). There are many more. These are NOT wired into our bodies and brains, but are learned from our families, our culture, and others. When you have a secondary emotion, the key is to figure out what the primary emotion, the feeling at the root of your reaction is, so that you can take an action that is most helpful. .

  • Ethics – Handout 10 My Notes on Mill’S Utilitarianism
    24.231 Ethics – Handout 10 My Notes on Mill’s Utilitarianism (1) General concerns: • Are interpersonal comparisons of utility even possible? • What are we talking about – maximizing total utility or average utility? • Both seem to ignore issues of distributive justice (except instrumentally – diminishing marginal utility of resources) • Average utility has some implausible implications (especially when considering harms, rather than benefits – is it really not worse for a total population of 100 people to be suffering torture than for a total population of 10 people to be suffering it?), and seems not to sit comfortably with utilitarian intuitions. Total utility invites the repugnant conclusion (but it’s important to remember that this isn’t just a problem for utilitarianism). (2) On higher and lower pleasures: • Should a utilitarian make any distinction between these? Is “pushpin as good as poetry,” if the quatity of pleasure they produce is the same? • How are we to determine which of two pleasures is higher? Is Mill’s appeal to “competent judges who have experienced both pleasures” plausible? And if competent judges prefer the higher pleasures, should we think they do so because activities leading them are more pleasurable, or have a higher quality of pleasure? Isn’t it perhaps more plausible to think they value them more for some other reason, having nothing to do with pleasure? • Relatedly, even if competent judges do take more pleasure in engaging in “higher” activities, are these activities more valuable because they are more pleasurable

  • 25 Positive Emotions in Human-Product Interactions
    ORIGINAL ARTICLE Faces of Product Pleasure: 25 Positive Emotions in Human-Product Interactions Pieter M. A. Desmet Delft University of Technology, Faculty of Industrial Design Engineering, Delft, The Netherlands The study of user emotions is hindered by the absence of a clear overview of what positive emotions can be experienced in human- product interactions. Existing typologies are either too concise or too comprehensive, including less than five or hundreds of positive emotions, respectively. To overcome this hindrance, this paper introduces a basic set of 25 positive emotion types that represent the general repertoire of positive human emotions. The set was developed with a componential analysis of 150 positive emotion words. A questionnaire study that explored how and when each of the 25 emotions are experienced in human-product interactions resulted in a collection of 729 example cases. On the basis of these cases, six main sources of positive emotions in human-product interactions are proposed. By providing a fine-grained yet concise vocabulary of positive emotions that people can experience in response to product design, the typology aims to facilitate both research and design activities. The implications and limitations of the set are discussed, and some future research steps are proposed. Keywords – Emotion-Driven Design, Positive Emotions, Questionnaire Research. Relevance to Design Practice – Positive emotions differ both in how they are evoked and in how they influence usage behaviour. Designers can use the set of 25 positive emotions to develop their emotional granularity and to specify design intentions in terms of emotional impact. Citation: Desmet, P. M. A. (2012).

  • Righteous Indignation I
    John 2:13-22 13The Jewish Passover was near, so Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 14In the temple courts he found people selling cattle, sheep, and doves, and money changers sitting at tables. 15He made a whip of cords and drove everyone out of the temple courts, along with the sheep and oxen. He scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables. 16To those selling doves he said, “Get these things out of here! Stop turning my Father’s house into a place of business!” 17His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for your house will consume me.” 18So the Jews responded, “What sign are you going to show us to prove you can do these things?” 19Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up again.” 20The Jews said, “It took forty-six years to build this temple! And you are going to raise it in three days?” 21But Jesus was speaking about the temple of his body. 22When Jesus was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this. Then they believed the Scripture and what Jesus had said. Righteous Indignation I. You sigh as you enter church. It’s that time of year again—the time leading up to Passover. Jewish faithful from all over the world are coming to make their pilgrimage to the temple to make their sacrifices and pay their temple-tax. It probably all seems very practical and pragmatic to the Jewish out-of-town-ers. They’ll stop in the equivalent of the narthex area for all the necessary items for their sacrifices.

  • Righteous Vs. Misguided Anger Know the Difference
    1.13.2018 Righteous Vs. Misguided Anger Know The Difference We live in a culture that simultaneously promotes Angry Responses while at the same time rewards Keeping Cool at all costs. Twitter, YouTube and nightly news reports are filled with Angry Videos that have millions of views. We see on a daily basis some politician with crocodile tears foisting some new victimhood narrative. At the same time, real injustice with life and death consequences is being dealt with lukewarm conviction. More so, real Discipline is being ignored altogether because a Righteous Anger has been muffled, stifled, suppressed, repressed, throttled and otherwise choked out of existence. Anger is a completely normal and usually healthy human emotion. It is a natural adaptive response to hazards, dangers, threats and perils to one’s personal safety and security. Anger inspires powerful, often aggressive, feelings and behaviors, which allow us to fight and defend ourselves when we are attacked. A certain amount of anger is necessary for our survival and for the survival of the loved ones placed in our care. Civil Society however, has mitigated the need for one to walk around in a constant state of assertive belligerence. However, we still have feelings of anger and frustration because of very real and inescapable problems in our lives. Everyone needs to learn the difference between Righteous and Misguided Anger. While anger is not in itself wrong, it is accurately grouped into the concept of Wrath, one of the 7 Deadly Sins. If left unchecked, anger can lead to Wrath. The difference is in intensity, force and passion.

  • Happy to Help? a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of the Effects of Performing Acts of Kindness on the Well-Being of the Acto
    Happy to help? A systematic review and meta-analysis of the effects of performing acts of kindness on the well-being of the actor Oliver Scott Curry ([email protected]) Lee Rowland Sally Zlotowitz John McAlaney Harvey Whitehouse September 2016 Abstract Does being kind make you happy? Recent advances in the behavioural sciences have provided a number of explanations of human social, cooperative and altruistic behaviour. These theories predict that people will be ‘happy to help’ family, friends, community members, spouses, and even strangers under some conditions. As a preliminary test of whether and to what extent these predictions are supported by the existing literature, here we conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of the experimental evidence that kindness interventions (for example, performing ’random acts of kindness’) boost subjective well-being. Our initial search of the literature identifies 376 articles; of which 19 (21 studies) meet the inclusion criteria (total N=2,685). We find that the overall effect of kindness on well-being is small-to-medium (d = 0.38). There is also some indication of publication bias – lower quality studies tended to find larger effects – suggesting that the true effect size may be smaller still (0.31 ≤ d ≤ 0.34). We also find that the design and methodological limitations of existing studies preclude the testing of specific theories of kindness. We recommend that future research: distinguish between the effects of kindness to specific categories of people (for example, family, friends, strangers); take kindness- specific individual differences into account; and consider a wider range of distal outcome measures.

  • Not-So Random Acts of Kindness: a Guide to Intentional Kindness in the Classroom
    Volume 7, Number 2, November 2015 pp 49-62 www.um.edu.mt/cres/ijee Not-so Random Acts of Kindness: A Guide to Intentional Kindness in the Classroom 1 John-Tyler Binfet Faculty of Education, University of British Columbia, Okanagan, Canada Much has been written about random acts of kindness – acts performed spontaneously and often to strangers. The topic of kindness and the benefits arising from performing kind acts holds both empirical and applied interest in the fields of education and psychology. Encouraging students to reflect upon and perform intentional acts of kindness develops perspective-taking, increased social membership, and a structured way of encouraging kindness within the school context. This paper provides an overview of kindness research and argues for the need to promote intentional acts of kindness by providing a framework for teachers to support students in the performance of intentional kindness. Keywords: kindness, kindness definitions, teaching, social and emotional learning, positive education First submission 10 th August 2015; Accepted for publication 15 th October 2015. Introduction “The self is not something ready-made, but something in continuous formation through choice of action.” (Dewey, 1916, p. 351). Even more than honesty, gratitude, or hope, the trait of kindness is identified as one of the top-ranking character strengths valued in Western society (Karris & Craighead, 2012; Park, Peterson, & Seligman, 2004). When parents are asked what they wish for their children, ‘being good’ or ‘being kind’ is consistently indicated to be a top trait (Diener & Lucas, 2004; Seligman, Ernst, Gillham, Reivich, & Linkins, 2009; Wang & Tamis-LeMonda, 2003). Although kindness and other elements of a child’s behavior was often seen as something solely within the purview of parents and the moral authority of religion, increasingly, the mandate of schools has broadened beyond a unique focus on the promotion of core academic abilities to 1 Corresponding author.

  • Mindfulness and Loving-Kindness
    MINDFULNESS AND LOVING-KINDNESS Sharon Salzberg Mindfulness, as the word is commonly used in contemporary meditation teaching, refers to both being aware of our present moment’s experience, and relating to that experience without grasping, aversion or delusion. All three habitual tendencies distort our perception of what is happening, and lead us to futile and misguided efforts to deny or control our experience. Loving-kindness is a quality of the heart that recognizes how connected we all are. Loving-kindness is essentially a form of inclusiveness of caring, rather than categorizing others in terms of those whom we care for and those who can be easily excluded, ignored or disdained. Any reduction in our tendency to fall into attachment, aversion or delusion helps refine and expand the force of loving-kindness. A deepening of insight will inevitably include seeing how all of our lives are inextricably interconnected. The diminishing of grasping, aversion and delusion and the increase in insight are both reasons mindfulness naturally leads us to greater loving-kindness. In contemporary meditation teaching, the word mindfulness is used in several different ways—as meaning the act of recollecting, as being present, and very commonly, as a kind of compound which in Pali, the language of the original Buddhist texts, would be sati-sampajan˜n˜a, or awareness and clear comprehension combined. One way of seeing this is to say that mindfulness is a relational process— mindfulness is not just knowing what is happening, such as ‘In this moment I am hearing a sound.’ Being mindful is knowing that we are hearing a sound in a certain way, that is, hearing it free of grasping, aversion and delusion.
