Bryn Farnsworth, Ph. D PostDoc. Here is how they differ. Content : What are emotions? In Basic emotion theory i. Something like in the schematic drawing below:.
Figure 2. The measurement model for the classical view of emotion. At the opposite side of the continuum is the Construction approach. The schematic drawing below shows the measurement model for this theory of constructed emotion:. Figure 3. The measurement model representing the construction approach to emotion. The Construction approach to emotion does not provide mechanisms that cause emotion but only tries to explain how measures might configure to assess an instance of emotion.
The brain constructs an emotion based on information from inside the body, information from the outside world, and based on past experiences. I fell victim to the Classical view when I assessed the tearful woman as being sad.
Just like emotion Anger, according to the Classical view, always causes a person to start yelling, scowling and hitting someone. However, this is not how it works in real life, just like the fastest way out of a plane is not always by running forward. Variation is the norm when it comes to measures of emotion. One happy person might fall down to her knees and shed tears of joy like Simona Halep winning Wimbledon , while another person might just smile and look like he is going to get another beer from the fridge like Novak Djokovic winning Wimbledon.
Obviously, this poses a challenge when measuring emotions. Not only individual differences and the context need to be taken into account; optimal measurement of emotion requires a multimodal approach. Assessment of facial expressions, behavioral and physiological responses will not necessarily be correlated, so all need to be measured in order to assess experience of emotion.
In the next few blogs on 'How to measure emotions', we will have a look at how exactly we can use self-reports, behavioral and physiological markers, and facial movements to say something meaningful about emotion.
