Paper Summary:

This paper explores the definition of an emotion. While everyone experiences emotions, defining what an emotion is can be difficult. The paper states that an emotion is not a single thing but a multi-dimensional definition with cognitive, physiological, purposive, and social components. The paper then looks at all the components and issues related to emotions including what creates them and what outcome do they have on the person. The paper reviews two recent and common theories on emotions, known as the organismic model and the interactional model.

From the Paper:

"Explanations offered by the organismic model and the interactional model differ, and the differences between the two models indicate different links between social factors and emotion. In the organismic model, social factors trigger biological reactions and steer how these reactions are expressed into customary channels, while in the interactional model, social factors enter into the very formulation of emotions by means of codification, management, and expression."
