   Passion - suddenly appearing in an acute conflict situation, excessive mental overexcitation, manifested in the temporary disruption of consciousness (the narrowing of consciousness) and extreme activation pulse reactions.

   Passion, as a rule, hindered the normal organization of behavior. It is with passion governed not premeditated purpose and a sense of order, which fully captures the personality and causes impulsive actions. Sometimes people are so bessoznatelen at the time of passion, which then can not restore the memory of their actions.

   Affects arise in critical conditions, the inability of the subject to find a quick and reasonable way out of dangerous situations. It is a way of "emergency" resolve the situation. The heat of passion can manifest itself in a stampede out of the situation, in the form of stupor (stupor), in the form of uncontrolled aggression.

   Emotional tension, accumulated as a result of affektogennyh situations (situations that contribute to passion) can be added, and if it does not give out, it could lead to a turbulent emotional detente. The general direction of chaotic behavior in passion - the desire to eliminate traumatic stimulus.

   Development of passion is subject to the following laws: the more powerful is the source of motivational stimulus, the more effort had to spend to implement it, the less the total generated by all this, the stronger the resulting affect.

   Facing the heat of passion left strong traces in the steady long-term memory. In contrast to the passion, the emotions and feelings associated mainly with short-term and operative memory.

   The experience of passion associated with rapid, uncontrolled loss of large amounts of energy (turbulent emotions, active uncontrolled movements, etc.). As a result, the final stage of passion, as a rule, against the background of a sharp breakdown, apathy. Perhaps even poluobmorochnoe state.

   In all of the multiple manifestations of passion (the horror, anger, despair, the flash of jealousy, passion, etc.) can be divided into three stages:

   Dramatically disrupt all mental activity, orientation violated in reality.

   Overexcitation is accompanied by a sharp, poorly controlled actions.

Among the techniques to overcome passion include: an arbitrary delay of motor reactions, changing environment, switching to another activity. A very big role in the possibility of overcoming the passion play as a person, her upbringing. The tendency to affective behaviors can be overcome by self.

   Affective state may manifest itself in different forms. Here are some of them.

   Fear - of course-reflex emotional reaction. Fear has emerged as the bio-defense mechanism. Many of the inborn fears persist in humans, even though the civilization they greatly changed.
