Components of emotions

Emotions have two components.

They are;

1. Feeling of Emotions

2. Facial expression of emotions.

Feeling of an emotion is due to isometric contraction or hardening of a pair of muscles of facial expression and facial expression is due to isotonic contraction or shortening of the same muscle.

We have many sensations like touch, pressure, vision, hearing, taste, heat, etc. How is it possible for us to compare these with one another?

Emotions enable us to compare sensations. Every sensation produces a sensory emotion. By comparing the sensory emotions produced we can indirectly compare the sensations.

Usually sensations occur in combination. Thus, taste may be associated with smell and heat. Emotions enable us to compare two groups of sensations also. Thus, it can enable us to compare a Pizza with a movie!

Thus, feeling of emotions enables us to determine our preferences and priorities.

Sensory and motor emotions:

There are two basic emotions that we can feel and express.

1. Sensory emotions - pleasure and displeasure

2. Motor emotions - anger and fear.

Sensory emotions enable us to know whether a sensation is good or bad. Motor emotions inform us whether something has to be done or not and also whether something can be done or not.

Facial expression of emotions:

While we can feel sensations we can't convey their magnitude to others. Facial expression of emotions enable us to convey to others the magnitude of the sensation we feel to others.

1. Purposes of feeling of emotions:

1. Feeling of Sensory and motor emotions act as compasses and guide us to take the right path while taking care of our sensations.

2. Feeling of emotions also plays a vital role in thinking and dreaming.

2. Purposes of facial expression of emotions:

1. Facial expression of emotions enable us to convey the magnitude of our sensations to others and also to what extent we are ready to go to rectify them.

2. Since these muscles are under our control they enable us to create an illusion in others that we are greater or simpler than what we actually are.
