Behaviour and emotions

The role of emotions is very important in the communication of people and animals. It is the additional resource of understanding each other. However there is also the possibility of the intentional increase of the emotions and mimics. Such thesis refers to the facial feedback hypothesis.

Emotional state is the mood that influences the value of people and events as well as the appreciation of the activity results. In such way the person with the bad mood is able to value the risk more often that the person in the good mood.

The typical trend of actions is defined by the certain emotion. Aggressiveness is the typical response to the rage. The aggressive reaction of animals is regulated by the neuronal structures of hypothalamus.

The same function of people is regulated by the cerebral cortex and very often it can be the part of the got experience. According to the social-learning theory the aggressive behaviour can be got by children in the result of the behaviour imitation in the situations of violence showed by television.

The basic emotions can cooperate with the reactions to the complicated social tasks getting the character of the cognitive emotions. For example, the feeling of repugnance can appear as the response to the amoral behaviour in the society and then this emotion is reflected as the cognitive emotion.

Besides the biological emotions people also have the collective emotions such as for example the emotion of fear to die, the fear to loose the social status, the fear to get crazy, the fear to fall ill, etc.
