Emotions are often experienced as bodily sensations. Studies have found that the way we respond to emotions help us adapt to our ever changing environment. Several models have stated that we experience subjective emotional feelings because of our bodily sensations. This helps us to over think our behaviour and adjust it to the situation. However, it is still debated
..... read morePeople understand the human mind and relationships with the social world trough emotions. Within the science discipline, there is still no consensus about the fundamental nature of emotions. Researchers are trying to find evidence to explain the connections between emotions, moods, feelings and the embodiment of emotions within the brain (affective neuroscience). Many researchers think emotions are action plans
..... read moreAccording to William James we experience (subjective) emotions because of bodily signals and not, as commonly thought, the other way around. Both expressive behaviour (like crying or laughing), facial expressions and responses of the autonomic nervous system (visceral changes including an increased heart rate) contribute to our experience of emotion. There has been critique on especially the influence of
..... read moreStudies have found that we show specific patterns (reflexes) to emotional cues. Moreover, there are two primary reactions: increased sensory processing and mobilization for action. This is thought to be caused by brain structures that learned in the early days of humanity which actions are most protective for
..... read moreBeing able to regulate our emotions comes with a lot of advantages, like enhanced social functioning and maintaining mental health. Most emotions are elicited by the environment and are associated with different degrees of physiological arousal. This physiological effect is usually generated by the autonomic nervous system, which is divided in the sympathetic nervous system and the para-sympathetic nervous
..... read moreIt has been suggested in the past that animals can only experience a few emotions and that the biggest difference between animals and humans is that animals can’t experience mixed emotions. However, more recent observations made clear that animals are also able to experience mixed emotions. When researchers talk about emotions in animals, the emotions are usually put

The bonobo is the closest living human relative, together with the chimpanzee. Researching emotions from our ancestors can provide insight in the evolutionary nature of human emotions. Bonobos can show consolatory,

Currently, social interaction in real life has been more and more replaced with social interaction through social media. Not being able to see someone during a conversation has an effect on how the content
..... read moreMimicry can be described as the adaptation or imitation of non-verbal behavior of others. Emotional mimicry is the tendency to mimic other’s emotions in order to share minds. Examples are mimicking discrete emotions, body movements, or even pupil dilation can occur. A distinction is made between neutral imitation (behavior) and emotional imitation (attitudes, gestures and facial expressions). The difference
..... read moreEvidence has been found that we have shared affective neuronal networks that are the basis for our capacity for empathy. There is overlapping brain activation when our own emotions are felt and when we perceive emotions in others. This means that these neuronal networks make us feel the emotions of others as if they were our own emotions. This
..... read moreMany people who suffer from a mental illness have more than one diagnosis. This is also referred to as comorbidity. Several explanations have been given for the common existence of comorbidity, for example similar risk factors or an inconclusive diagnostic system. The DSM is widely used as a diagnostic system and holds the view that mental illnesses can be
