Emotions

   Under the emotions or understand the inner feelings of people, or manifestations of these feelings. Often the most powerful, but short-term emotion called passion, and deep and strong - feelings. Emotions - a psychological process control impulsive behavior, based on a sensual reflection requirements significance of external influences, their favorable or harmful to the individual's life.

   Emotions have resulted in the evolution of a better adaptation of the organism. Emotions always dvuvalentny (with two poles). They are positive or negative. Some essential properties of objects and situations, causing the emotions, the body adjust to the appropriate behavior. This mechanism directly assess the level of interaction between the body safely to the environment.

   Emotions, as well as a sense of - the basic phenomenon of the psyche. If your feelings affect physicality of life, the emotions - the subjective relation to various aspects of life.

   Emotions associated with the cortex of large hemispheres, in the first place - with the function of the right hemisphere. Impulses from outside influences coming into the brain in two streams. One of them is sent to the appropriate area of cerebral cortex, where the meaning and significance of these pulses are identified and deciphered in the form of sensations and perceptions. Another stream comes in subcortical Education (hypothalamus, etc.), which provides a direct bearing on these effects to the basic needs of the organism, as subjectively experienced by emotions. We found that in podkorki (in the hypothalamus), there are specific neural structures that are the centers of suffering, pleasure, aggression, calm.

   Being directly related to the nervous system, endocrine, and emotions may include the power mechanisms of behavior. Thus, the emotion of fear has arisen in a dangerous situation for the organism, provides a response to overcome the danger - active indicative reflex, hampered the work of all, for the moment secondary systems: strain necessary to control the muscles, increasing respiration, increases heart rate, changes of blood etc.

   Emotions are directly linked to the instincts. Thus, in a state of anger the person has the grin of teeth, the narrowing of eyelids, jam fists, flush-to-face, the adoption of threatening poses, etc. All basic emotions are innate in nature. Proof of this is that all people, regardless of their cultural development, the same gesture during the expression of any emotion. Even in higher animals - primates, dogs, cats and other we can see the same facial expressions as a person. However, congenital are not all the external manifestations of emotions, some are acquired as a result of training and education (eg special gesture as a sign of any emotion.

   Any form of activity is accompanied by emotional distress. Thanks to them, people can feel the condition of another person, feel it. Even other higher animals can evaluate the emotional state of each other.

   What is more difficult for organized living being, the richer scale endured emotional states. But for some smoothing of the manifestations of emotions in socialized man seen as a result of increasing the role of volitional control.

   All living organisms are initially seeking to ensure that matches their needs and to ensure, through which these needs can be met. Man is only when his actions make sense. Emotions are innate, spontaneous signal these meanings. Cognitive processes form a mental image, presentation, and emotional processes provide selectivity behavior.
