UNIVERSAL
FACIAL
EXPRESSION
BY DR. EKMAN
 EMOTION
• Six emotions, known as universal
emotions, are recognized globally
through consistent facial expressions:
happiness, sadness, fear, disgust,
anger, and surprise. These emotions,
believed to be innate, play a crucial role
in human survival.
EMOTION
• They vary in intensity, duration, and
can be positive or negative. Emotions,
vital to our daily experiences, it
consist of three components:
physiological, cognitive, and
behavioral.
 3 COMPONENTS OF
• COGNITIVE
EMOTION
The cognitive component is described as
how we interpret emotions and think
about situations.
Cognitive processes (thinking) play an
important role in interpreting the events
that triggered the emotional response in
 3 COMPONENTS OF
• COGNITIVE
EMOTION
Your heart starts racing and you can feel
yourself trembling. You label your rapid
heart rate and trembling as a result of
fear. You feel fear.
 3 COMPONENTS OF
• PHYSIOLOGICAL
EMOTION
The physiological component is how the
body reacts to an emotion. For example,
before sitting an exam, your body feels
sweaty, and your heart beats faster. The
behavioural components is how you
express and show your emotion.
 3 COMPONENTS OF
• BEHAVIORAL
EMOTION
The behavioural components is how you
express and show your emotion. A good
example of this is after good news you
smile and behave more positively to those
around you.
FUNCTIONS OF EMOTION
• Emotions drive our actions – for example, a
fight, flight or freeze response.
• Emotions tell others that we’re dealing with
stressors and may need support.
• Emotions have wisdom. They tell us
something important in our life is changing
or needs attention.
FUNCTIONS OF EMOTION
• In each of these cases, ignoring or
suppressing our emotional response keeps
us from learning and taking action.
• This means we may keep negative
emotions around longer because we don’t
see how they can be useful and learn from
them.
 JAMES-LANGE
The James-Lange theory of emotion
THEORY
is one of the earliest attempts to
explain what causes emotions.
James-Lange theory proposes that
people have a physiological
response to environmental stimuli
and that their interpretation of that
physical response is what leads to
an emotional experience.
 JAMES-LANGE
Suppose you are walking in the
woods, and you see a THEORY
grizzly bear. You
begin to tremble, and your heart
begins to race. The James-Lange
theory proposes that you will interpret
your physical reactions and conclude
that you are frightened ("I am
trembling. Therefore I am afraid.")
 CANNON-BARD
The Cannon-Bard theory of emotion

THEORY
states that stimulating events trigger
feelings and physical reactions that
occur at the same time.
For example, seeing a snake might
prompt both the feeling of fear (an
emotional response) and a racing
heartbeat (a physical reaction)
 CANNON-BARD
When a triggering event occurs, the thalamus might send
THEORY
signals to the amygdala. The amygdala is responsible for
processing strong emotions, such as fear, pleasure, or
anger. It might also send signals to the cerebral cortex,
which controls conscious thought. Signals sent from the
thalamus to the autonomic nervous system and skeletal
muscles control physical reactions. These include sweating,
shaking, or tense muscles. Sometimes the Cannon-Bard
theory is referred to as the thalamic theory of emotion.
 TWO-FACTOR
Schachter and Singer's (1962) Two-Factor Theory of Emotion
THEORY
suggests that physiological arousal determines the strength
of the emotion, while cognitive appraisal identifies the
emotion label. So, in this theory, the “two-factor” represents
physiological change and cognitive appraisal change.
STRESS, ADJUSTMENT
AND COPING
STRESS
It can come from any event or thought that
makes you feel frustrated, angry, or nervous.
Stress is your body's reaction to a challenge
or demand. In short bursts, stress can be
positive, such as when it helps you avoid
danger or meet a deadline
Stress is a normal feeling. There are
two main types of stress:
• Acute stress. This is short-term
stress that goes away quickly.
• Chronic stress. This is stress that
lasts for a longer period of time.
STRESS
Your body reacts to stress by releasing
hormones. These hormones make your brain
more alert, cause your muscles to tense, and
increase your pulse. In the short term, these
reactions are good because they can help you
handle the situation causing stress. This is
your body's way of protecting itself.
When you have chronic stress, your body stays alert, even
though there is no danger. Over time, this puts you at risk
for health problems, including:
• High blood pressure
• Heart disease
• Diabetes
• Obesity
• Depression or anxiety
• Skin problems, such as acne or eczema
• Menstrual problems
 ADJUSTME
• NT
A sequence of adjustment begins when
a need is felt and ends when it is
satisfied.
• Hungry people, for example, are
stimulated by their physiological state to
seek food. When they eat, they reduce
the stimulating condition that impelled
them to activity, and they are thereby
 ADJUSTME
NT involves
In general, the adjustment process
four parts: (1) a need or motive in the form of
a strong persistent stimulus, (2) the
nonfulfillment of this need, (3) varied activity,
or exploratory behaviour accompanied by
problem solving, and (4) some response that
removes or at least reduces the initiating
stimulus and completes the adjustment.
 COPI
What are some common coping NG
strategies?
Some common coping mechanisms may challenge
you to:
• Lower your expectations.
• Ask others to help or assist you.
• Take responsibility for the situation.
• Engage in problem solving.
• Maintain emotionally supportive relationships.
• Maintain emotional composure or, alternatively,
expressing distressing emotions.
• Challenge previously held beliefs that are
no longer adaptive.
• Directly attempt to change the source of
stress.
• Distance yourself from the source of
stress.
• View the problem through a religious
perspective.
