What are emotions?
Feeling Psychologists have been debating about the nature of emotions for years, though it is understood that it has the following four main components:
- Feeling. This is the label that we use to describe the emotion.
- Thinking. What goes on in our logical mind and what we actually think of the event and its interpretation
- Body Reaction. Our physical body response such as heart rate, sweating, breathing rate, etc.
- Behaviour. How we respond to the emotion by our behaviour.
