INT RODUCTION

ÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀ This project is to customizing my own emotional spin cycle with the threefold-self concept.À We as a human function in three areas: (1) affective behavior (feeling), (2) cognitive behavior (thinking), and (3) sensorimotor behavior (acting).À In report one it will define the terminology of emotion, feeling, threefold-self, and the hierarchy of needs through a annotated bibliography, which includes the past generation curriculum, news media, and websites and articles.À For report two it will be my data collection and analysis of the threefold self.À

EMOTIONS

ÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀ Is there a difference between emotions and feelings? Yes, but emotions deals with physiological and the feelings deals with sensation.À Emotion is a physiological reflex and feelings, reflects our sensation.À Emotion is a physiological arousal that judges the levels of fear or anxiety.À It also determines if we are happy or unhappy.À An example of emotion is when we are in a relationship our physiological arousal allows us to reflect the love and compassion to the person.À If we are watching a horror movie, our physiological arousal allows us to have a rapid heart rate or heavy breathing that follows fear or anxiety.À Emotions affect the spin cycle through others and self.À We must have emotions to the things or people that we interact in life.À Emotions tag along with feelings in the threefold self, with fear, love, compassion and etc.ÀÀ

Citation: ?Methods for Controlling Conscious Emotions?-website articles.

http://mentalhelp.net/psyhelp/chap12/chap12b.htm

ÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀ This site reports that emotions are frequently unrealistic and irrational.À Our emotions are what we express in our minds.À Usually we exaggerated the emotions, such fear, hopes, or needs.À This article said that emotions involve behavior, subjective feelings, and physiological responses.À It said that these three aspects are often correlated with the other two.À Meaning, you may (subjectively) feel very tense but not show it overtly (behaviorally) and not respond internally (physiologically).À Example: a person can feel quite relaxed but have an upset stomach or low back pain and appear to others, as either laid back or very nervous.À This is related to the emotional spin cycle when our emotions are put into feeling and we express those feelings.

Citation: ?The Emotion Page?-website articles

http://members.tripod.com/emotioncube/index.html

ÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀ This site is another way to look at emotion, through a cube.À The emotion cube is based on the assumption cognitive development.À At this site you will find the general discussion of what emotion is the purpose and function of emotion, emotion and the brain, emotional dynamics, and etc.À This relates back to the emotional spin cycle when we have these emotion and learn how to cognitively put it in our situation, such as rage, depression, satisfaction, and passion.À ÀÀÀ

Citation: ?For Arab Americans, a Familiar Backlash?-Washington Post

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A20953-2001sept12.html

ÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀ In this article it talked about the emotion of the American towards Arab Americans or Muslim looking people.À These people expressed their emotion with languages, graffiti and words.À For example: ?it is frustrating,? said Abdul Raouf of the center.À ?We are citizens of this country, and we share in the sorrow and sadness.?À Another example of expressing emotion is ?I?m not saying its okay,? he began.À ?But there?s a reason these people are angry.À A reason why they bombed America.À It?s because Israel oppresses the Palestinian people and America tries to cover it up.À Nobody listen to these people.À They don?t have a voice.À So they act out of their frustrations.?À This is one example of one persons? emotion of why the terrorist bombed America.À Last example is when a woman spray-painted the word ?murders? on the wall of the King Fahad Mosque in Culver City, California.À The director of the mosque did not pressed charges because he felt that this is how this woman was overcome with her emotions.À This is related to the emotional spin cycle of how the people were acting out on the rage towards the Arab American.À They didn?t care if they have nothing to do with it they just took out their frustration on the Arab American.À They were displaying the negative red zone.À

Citation: ?The Definition of Traffic Psychology? Generation Curriculum Sandra Scarbrough 459f96

http://www.soc.hawaii.edu/leonj/leonj/459f96/scarbrou/report1.html

ÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀ In this report she believes that traffic psychology deals with emotions.À When we are driving our emotion tends to control our behavior.À Therefore, if we cannot control our behavior we will bring negative energy out on the road.À One of her statement is:? I believe the impatience and hostility some drivers? feel is due to the fact that they are frustrated.À The frustration is caused by the lack of control of their emotions felt while driving.À What many of these drivers don?t understand is that there negative attitude usually rubs off on the other drivers, thus making the highway hostile.À This is related to the emotional spin cycle in the negative blue zone, where the feeling and the thinking of the driver affect the way they are driving.À

Citation: ?Self-conscious emotions?-magazine article (Gale Encyclopedia of Psychology)

http://www.findarticles.com/cf_dls/g2699/0006/2699000612/print.jhtml

ÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀ In this article it explains the concept of self-conscious emotion.À According to the article, self-conscious emotions is living up to one?s own internalized set of standards of failing to live up to them is the basis of complex emotions.À Self-conscious emotions are guilt, pride, shame, and hubris and in order to feel these emotions an individual must have the sense of self as well as a set of standards.À It is said that self-conscious emotions are difficult to study due to the fact that we don?t know what elicit these emotions.À

ÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀ Cognitive processes are likely to be the elicitors of the emotions, because if people think about the emotions maybe the emotion will display in a behavior.À Self-conscious emotions depend on the development of a number of cognitive skills.À First, an individual must absorb a set of standards, rules, and goals.À Second, they must have a sense of self. Last, they must be able to evaluate the self with regard to those standards, rules, and goals and then make a determination of success or failure.À That is where emotional spin cycle is related, how we think is how we behave in a situation.ÀÀ

ÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀ In shame and guilt, it is said that an individual will hide, disappear, or die, which these are negative emotions displays.À Guilt is produced when an individual evaluates his or her behavior as a failure, but focuses on the specific features of the self that led to the failure.À Guilt is associated with a corrective action that the individual can take to repair the failure and prevent it from happening again.À This is the negative blue zone of the emotional spin cycle that we experience these feeling.

ÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀ The positive emotion is called the hubris and pride.À Hubris is defined as exaggerated pride or self-confidence.À Hubris is the emotion that builds up success with one?s standards, rules, and goals.À Having the positive emotions a person would feel joy at the things they do and the people they are with.ÀÀ

ÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀ With shyness and embarrassment, this emotion makes an individual express fear and discomfort.À This article said the shyness and fear is very much related.À They are related in how we act in the social world.À When we express shyness we are showing fear, for example speaking in front of a group (presentation).

FEELINGS

ÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀ Feelings are behaviors with sensation feelings such as pain.À If we are hurt and have a cut, we can feel the pain as a tingling feeling.À For those who get shots from the doctors we can feel the needle going into our skin.À But when we say we feel depressed or feel that we are in love the sensation to depressed is feeling lonely, feeling nothing, and etc.À When we are to describe the feeling of love, we would say words like, giddy, feels like you?re floating on air.À But we really don?t know what the feeling of floating is.À Feelings are just words to describe the moment or the situation.À As it was said in emotions, feelings affect the spin cycle in others and self.À Feelings are one of the components in the spin cycle.À

ÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀ This Website article explains the brain function affect our feelings and emotions.À According to this article there are possibilities to decrease the feelings.À The article have an example when you are anxious and feel anger your doctor would prescribe you ansiolitic to control the feelings.À When you are feeling depressed your doctor would prescribe an antidepressant in order to eliminate the negative behavior.À Therefore chemical substance can control your feelings.À In our brain there is a nervous system, which is called the neuron; it affects our feelings toward love/compassion and fear/anxiety.À In our limbic system there is a thing that is called the amydala, which is a motivator towards our feelings.À It is said that our brain is a compound of numerous synaptic.À It is like electrical static that stimulate or feelings whether positive or negative.ÀÀ This article is related to the emotional spin cycle through a better understanding the feelings that produce in our brain.À There is a chemical reaction and affect the feeling and allows us to behave in a certain way.

THREEFOLD SELF

ÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀ The threefold self is a three-part function that works together in habits of feelings, habits of thinking, and habits of acting.À It has two arenas, the self and the other and both arenas have a positive and negative behavior.À The other is also known as the red zone and the self is known as the blue zone.À Figure 1 shows the four zones in a circle.À

HIERARCHY OF MOTIVES

ÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀ Abraham Maslow developed the hierarchy of motives, which consist of a five level of needs.À Once a person desire is satisfied another pops up in place.À The five levels are (1) physiological needs, (2) safety needs, (3) love and belonging needs, (4) esteem needs, and (5) self-actualization needs.À The physiological needs are the bottom of the triangle and the basic in human needs and self-actualization needs are the top of the triangle, which majority of the people cannot reach.À Figure 2 is Maslow?s hierarchy of motives (needs).

In the physiological needs it is the biological necessities such as food, water, and oxygen.À These needs are the strongest because a person would die if they did not have the basic needs in life.À For the safety needs it is consider as the shelter, this is where we need physical security, dependence, stability, structure, and order in life.À This will be the need to have a job and to have the money to take care of ones? physiological needs.À The third need is called the love and belongingness, which is also called the companionship. In this need, we would find love, affection, belonging to a family or group, and friendship.À This would be having a special someone to spend the rest of your life with.À Able to share the love and pain that is happening in life.À The fourth need is called the esteem need, also known as the feeling component.À This is where we can see the self-esteem and the esteem from others.À This allows us the need to feel valuable, to have self-respect and the respect of others.À If the person does not fulfill these needs, they will feel inferior, weak, helpless, and worthless.À For self-esteem you can find achievement, confidence, mastery, and strength.À For esteem from others you will find recognition, appreciation, attention, status and reputation.À These are the things that you will want to achieve from others so you call achieve self-esteem for yourself.À Once you have achieve this you can get into the last level and the highest, which majority of the people could not reach, the self-actualization needs.À The self-actualization needs are also called the creativity.À At this level, you will feel that you can do anything you want to do.À For this needs you will find things like living up to the potential, accepting the strength and limitation, accepting other people for whom and what they are, being spontaneous, and acting independently and creativity.À The hierarchy of needs also affect the threefold self through the esteem needs, and love and belonging needs.À These two needs are connected to the feelings aspect of the threefold self.ÀÀÀÀÀ

With traffic psychology it is like the hierarchy of needs, in order to become a good driver you must take it step by step to achieve the hierarchy of driving.À

Conclusion

ÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀ In conclusion we behave according to the emotional spin cycle, where we feel, act, and think about the things that are happening around us.À We may experience negative and positive behavior at times but we must be aware of our behavior in the things that we are doing.À For a better understanding in our self and others we observe our feeling, thoughts and doing at the moment of times.À
