  • 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. .

Little attention has however, been 10 September 2013 directed towards what functional aspects emotions ought to have in fish. If fish have emotions – why? Accepted 11 September 2013 The elucidation of this question and an assessment of the scientific evidences of emotions in fish in an evolutionary and functional framework would represent a valuable contribution in the discussion on Keywords: whether fish are emotional creatures. Here parts of the vast amount of literature from both biology and Emotions Behaviour psychology relating to the scientific field of emotions, animal emotion, and the functional aspects that Cognition emotions fulfil in the lives of humans and animals are reviewed. Subsequently, by viewing fish behaviour, Psychology physiology and cognitive abilities in the light of this functional framework it is possible to infer what Fish functions emotions may serve in fish. This approach may contribute to the vital running discussion on Evolution the subject of emotions in fish. In fact, if it can be substantiated that emotions are likely to serve a function in fish similar to that of other higher vertebrate species, the notion that fish do have emotions will be strengthened.

  • A New Look on Regret Regulation Process for Risky Decisions Nawel
    “I should not have been so cautious!” A new look on regret regulation process for risky decisions Nawel AYADI Maîtres de conférences IAE de Toulouse, Université Toulouse I Capitole CRM, EAC-CNRS 5032 [email protected] Laurent BERTRANDIAS Maîtres de conférences IAE de Toulouse, Université Toulouse I Capitole CRM, EAC-CNRS 5032 [email protected] « Je n’aurais pas dû être aussi prudent ! » Un nouveau regard sur le processus de régulation du regret pour les décisions risquées Résumé Le consommateur essaie de réguler son émotion de regret en prenant des décisions capables de minimiser le regret ressenti. Les conséquences des décisions risquées sont inconnues amenant le consommateur à anticiper le regret éprouvé pour les différentes situations possibles. L’article suggère que le regret anticipé est ambivalent et distingue le classique regret anticipé d’une prise de risque excessive (ARERT) du regret anticipé d’une recherche excessive de sécurité (ARESS). Les résultats de notre expérience montrent que ces deux regrets exercent des effets contraires sur la prise de risque mais que ces effets sont modérés par l’intelligence émotionnelle du consommateur. Mots-clés : régulation du regret, regret anticipé, intelligence émotionnelle, prise de risque “I should not have been so cautious!” A new look on regret regulation process for risky decisions Abstract Consumers try to regulate regret by taking decisions which minimize regret experience. Risky decisions consequences are unknown leading consumers to anticipate regret for all possible situations. The article suggests that anticipated regret is ambivalent and distinguishes between “traditional” anticipated regret of an excessive risk-taking (ARERT) and anticipated regret of an excessive safety-seeking (ARESS).

  • The Empathy Connection
    The Empathy Connection Creating Caring Communities through the Human-Animal Relationship The Doris Day Animal Foundation (DDAF) is a national nonprofit organization working to create caring communities. Thanks to a generous grant from the Claire Giannini Fund, we are pleased to present “The Empathy Connection,” a publication designed to help parents, teachers, and other adults instill the important skill of empathy in our youth. As a mother of two school-age children, president of the parent teacher’s association of a middle school, and as the Executive Director of the Doris Day Animal Foundation, I know how important empathy is in children’s development. Empathy is an important skill, related to success in many areas of development—social, academic, and personal. Learning how to respond empathetically is also the best antidote to violence, bullying, and other unwanted, aggressive behavior in children. The basic tenet of DDAF’s “creating caring communities” mission is that the protection of, and respect for, animals is closely linked to human welfare. The development of empathy is a case in point: one of the best—and probably one of the most enjoyable—ways to teach children empathy is through the human-animal relationship. The Doris Day Animal Foundation offers training workshops and materials designed to help professional and lay communities address the problem of violence and promote positive development in children, families, and communities. We do this by demonstrating how paying attention to the animal-human welfare link builds safer, more creative communities for all living creatures. We hope you will let us know how you used “The Empathy Connection,” or other DDAF materials.

  • A Theory of Regret Regulation 1.0
    JOURNAL OF CONSUMER PSYCHOLOGY, 17(1), 3–18 Copyright © 2007, Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, Inc. HJCP A Theory of Regret Regulation 1.0 Regret Regulation Theory Marcel Zeelenberg and Rik Pieters Tilburg University, The Netherlands We propose a theory of regret regulation that distinguishes regret from related emotions, specifies the conditions under which regret is felt, the aspects of the decision that are regret- ted, and the behavioral implications. The theory incorporates hitherto scattered findings and ideas from psychology, economics, marketing, and related disciplines. By identifying strate- gies that consumers may employ to regulate anticipated and experienced regret, the theory identifies gaps in our current knowledge and thereby outlines opportunities for future research. The average consumer makes a couple of thousands of concerning regret. Regret research originated in basic decisions daily. These include not only the decision of research in economics (Bell, 1982; Loomes & Sugden, 1982), which products and brands to buy and in which quantity, and psychology (Gilovich & Medvec, 1995; Kahneman & but also what to eat for breakfast, what kind of tea to Tversky, 1982; Landman, 1993).

  • Behavioral Finance: Loss and Regret Aversion
    Commentary September 2014 Behavioral Finance: Loss and Regret Aversion Prospect Theory proposes that investors’ decision-making processes are contingent on the perceived values and costs of gains and losses, rather than the likelihood of each outcome. Loss aversion suggests that investors tend to be disproportionately risk averse in relation to their expected outcomes in order to avoid the pain associated with financial loss. Regret aversion posits that investor indecision and failure to take action typically stems from wanting to avoid responsibility for a poor result. Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky (K&T) conceived However, securities prices often rise or fall for good Prospect Theory in 1979, three years after the reason, after new information comes to light (see publication of their seminal Judgment Under Uncertainty: Behavioral Finance: The Three A’s – Availability, Heuristics and Biases. Anchoring and Adjustment for a more thorough explanation). Prospect Theory was a critique of and alternative offered to the “expected utility theory,” which stated that people When investors fail to appropriately adjust the estimated can assess the value of decisions by combining outcome value of their investments as a result of new information, probabilities with the values of those outcomes. On the causing them to sell winners too early or losers too late, contrary, K&T sought to explain, decision-making they change the risk-reward profile of their portfolios for processes are contingent on the values and costs the worse. investors associate with gains and losses rather than the likelihood of each outcome. According to Prospect Such loss aversion, combined with myopia (or short-term Theory, investors tend to qualify these gains and losses perspective), accounts for the “equity premium puzzle,” through the lens of various heuristics (rules of thumb), according to theorists Shlomo Bernatzi and Richard further limiting their ability to make reasonable decisions.

The main objective was to determine whether criminals feel shame? Another objective was to assess whether old criminals feel less shame? First, the profile of violent criminals was made who were currently incarcerated. The profile included age, crime, marital status, education, occupation, victim, crime occurrence (1st time, 2nd time) and circumstances of the crime. Semi-structured interview design was used to assess moral emotions. Self made questionnaire was developed for this purpose. A sample of 10 criminals was taken from District Jail Kotlakhpat Lahore. Interview was conducted with criminals individually. Content analysis of the data was carried out. Frequencies and percentages of the data were obtained. For further analysis data from 20 policemen and 10 lawyers was also taken, to determine if they noticed feelings of shame and guilt among criminals. Another self made questionnaire was developed. Analysis was carried out through Spss (16.5). Frequencies and percentages of the data were obtained. The finding of the results showed that criminals had feelings of guilt as well as shame, whether they were first time offenders or re-offenders.
