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. . -

The Neuroscience of Animal Welfare: Theory 80-20
Review Article The neuroscience of animal welfare: theory 80-20 La neurociencia del bienestar animal: teoría 80-20 Genaro A. Coria-Avila, DVM, PhD1*, Deissy Herrera-Covarrubias, BSc, MSc2 1Centro de Investigaciones Cerebrales, Universidad Veracruzana, Xalapa, Ver., México 2Doctorado en Neuroetología, Universidad Veracruzana, Xalapa, Ver., México. Recibido: 28 de agosto de 2012 Aceptado: 16 de octubre de 2012 Puedes encontrar este artículo en: http://www.uv.mx/eneurobiologia/vols/2012/6/6.html Abstract Animal welfare is commonly regarded as the physical and psychological well-being of animals, fulfilled if animals are free: 1) from hunger, thirst and malnutrition, 2) from discomfort, 3) from pain, 4) to express normal behavior, and 5) from fear and distress. This paper is meant to provoke the reader to re-think the concept of welfare. Evidence indicates that animal welfare is not a constant state, but rather it must be fulfilled several times a day. A theory is proposed arguing that well-being occurs when the proportion of desiring and obtaining something occurs in a 80-20% proportion, respectively. The neurobiological bases of motivated behaviors are discussed to support a new view on animal welfare. Key words: Dopamine, Opioids, Environmental enrichment, Well-being, Desire, Reward. Resumen Comúnmente se considera al bienestar animal cuando los animales están bien física y psicológicamente. Esto se logra cuando están libres: 1) de hambre, sed y malnutrición, 2) de incomodidad, 3) de dolor, 4) para expresar conducta normal, 5) de miedo y estrés. Este artículo tiene la intención de provocar al lector para reconsiderar el concepto de bienestar animal. -
The Relationship Between Dispositional Empathy, Psychological Distress, and Posttraumatic Stress Responses Among Japanese Unifor
Nagamine et al. BMC Psychiatry (2018) 18:328 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12888-018-1915-4 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access The relationship between dispositional empathy, psychological distress, and posttraumatic stress responses among Japanese uniformed disaster workers: a cross-sectional study Masanori Nagamine1* , Jun Shigemura2, Toshimichi Fujiwara3, Fumiko Waki3, Masaaki Tanichi2, Taku Saito2, Hiroyuki Toda2, Aihide Yoshino2 and Kunio Shimizu1 Abstract Background: Disaster workers suffer from psychological distress not only through the direct experience of traumatic situations but also through the indirect process of aiding disaster victims. This distress, called secondary traumatic stress, is linked to dispositional empathy, which is the tendency for individuals to imagine and experience the feelings and experiences of others. However, the association between secondary traumatic stress and dispositional empathy remains understudied. Methods: To examine the relationship between dispositional empathy and mental health among disaster workers, we collected data from 227 Japan Ground Self-Defense Force personnel who engaged in international disaster relief activities in the Philippines following Typhoon Yolanda in 2013. The Impact of Event Scale-Revised and the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale were used to evaluate posttraumatic stress responses (PTSR) and general psychological distress (GPD), respectively. Dispositional empathy was evaluated through the Interpersonal Reactivity Index, which consists of four subscales: Perspective Taking, Fantasy, Empathic Concern, and Personal Distress. Hierarchial linear regression analyses were performed to identify the variables related to PTSR and GPD. Results: High PTSR was significantly associated with high Fantasy (identification tendency, β =0.21,p < .01), high Personal Distress (the self-oriented emotional disposition of empathy, β =0.18,p <.05),andnoexperienceofdisaster relief activities (β =0.15,p < .05). -
Acute Stress Responses in Chinese Soldiers Performing Various Military Tasks Peng Huang1, Tengxiao Zhang2, Danmin Miao1* and Xia Zhu1*
Huang et al. International Journal of Mental Health Systems 2014, 8:45 http://www.ijmhs.com/content/8/1/45 RESEARCH Open Access Acute stress responses in Chinese soldiers performing various military tasks Peng Huang1, Tengxiao Zhang2, Danmin Miao1* and Xia Zhu1* Abstract Background: To examine Chinese soldiers’ acute stress responses, we did this study. Methods: The soldiers completed the Acute Stress Response Scale (ASRS) when engaged in major tasks, such as earthquake rescue in Wenchuan, Sichuan, and maintaining social stability in Urumchi, Xinjiang. The ASRS has good reliability and validity. The study enrolled 1,832 male soldiers. Results: The results showed significant differences among five dimensions and the overall response index when comparing four diverse military tasks. Further analysis found that reduced work efficiency and 24 symptom clusters were significantly positively correlated. Conclusions: The acute stress response of soldiers performing various tasks was influenced by many factors, including the task characteristics and external factors. In addition, the acute stress response affected their work efficiency.
