...Why do certain foods or smells elicit emotional responses? Every person has an emotional response to one or more particular foods. The response may be negative or positive depending on the situation that may have occurred with the food present. For instance a person may perk up while smelling coffee or someone may feel nauseated by just looking at a hamburger. These reactions are conditioned responses (CR) toward conditioned stimulus’ (CS) that were previously unconditioned. A conditioned response is a learned reflexive response to a conditioned stimulus. Before someone has the reaction to perk up from the scent of coffee, they first must go through a conditioning phase to associate coffee with feeling energetic. This is also called classical conditioning: the basic learning process that involves repeatedly pairing a neutral stimulus with a response-producing stimulus until the neutral stimulus elicits the same response. The unconditioned stimulus is coffee and the unconditioned response is energy to wake up or perk up for the day. During each morning a person may groggily get out of bed and begin brewing coffee. He or she pours a cup and begin to awaken more from the ingested caffeine. If done on a constant basis that person will begin associating the tastes and smells of coffee (CS) with being energetic (CR); even though the effects of caffeine takes 20 minutes to begin working. Another conditioned response could be feeling nauseated at the sight or smell...

...around you, or are you supposed to be rude back because it’s not fair to be treated disrespectfully? This is a case of something called emotional labor. Organizational Behavior, by Robbins and Judge, defines emotional labor as an employee’s expression of organizationally desired emotions during interpersonal transactions at work. This being said, a person who expresses emotional labor would shake off this verbal abuse from his coworker to keep his behavior appropriate for work. A factor that may contribute to someone’s ability to be able to show emotional labor is the idea of emotional intelligence. Organizational Behavior says, Emotional intelligence ( EI) is a person’s ability to ( 1) be self- aware (to recognize her own emotions when she experiences them), ( 2) detect emotions in others, and ( 3) manage emotional cues and information. With these two concepts taken into consideration, one can hypothesize that someone with a high level of emotional intelligence would be able to engage in emotional labor. If the aforementioned new employee was able to manage emotional cues and information, a critical part of emotional intelligence, than they would be able to keep their emotions in check and display emotions that were acceptable at the workplace. Emotional intelligence isn’t the only factor that contributes to a person’s ability to engage in emotional labor, however, there...

...(Perez. 2010. Pg 1). An employee’s emotions and overall temperament has a significant impact on his job performance, decision making skills, team spirit, and leadership skills. Leadership is actually about emotion management and emotions don’t just affect businesses but contribute to their structure. According to The Behavioral Health Coaching Institute, emotions can harm employees, affect how they react to pressures and be the cause of low productivity and poor results. It also states that “Emotional pain is an inevitable part of life. It can come from the outside, but it often stems from painful incidents at work, such as the behavior of immediate bosses, uncooperative employees, abrasive clients, poorly handled mergers or changes, bad work policies and practices, or the stress and grind of everyday work.” Do Emotions Affect Job Performance Almost any job that we have, there is a point in time where things get emotional; whether it’s personal or business related. Organizations are emotional places. We must first understand our emotions in the workplace, as well as of our co-workers. In a research study from the University of Missouri, employers do not want their employees to express any type of “strong” emotions, whether it’s positive or negative. In order to maintain professionalism, employees must...

...Analysis of Emotional Intelligence by Daniel Goleman Analysis of "Emotional Intelligence" by Daniel Goleman Daniel Goleman's book Emotional Intelligence is phenomenal. Rich with insight and valuable information, it provides answers to some questions that have perplexed professionals and lay persons alike for some time: Why do some people achieve far beyond what we might expect of them based on their circumstances and innate abilities, and why do some children thrive in a modem environment that seems intent on preventing them from even surviving? The answer, Goleman says, lies in emotional intelligence. He writes, "My concern is with. . emotional intelligence, abilities such as being able to motivate oneself and persist in the face of frustrations, to control impulses and delay gratification; to regulate one's moods and keep distress from swamping the ability to think; to empathize and to hope"(34). Emotional intelligence is further described as a "meta-ability," determining how well we can use whatever other skills we have, including raw intellect (36). The book goes on to explain that it is our ability to successfully manage our emotional lives, and therefore our relationships with others and our view of ourselves, that determines our success in life. Interestingly enough, the book doesn't t focus to any extent on communication per SE, but brings us just to the door of that issue on many occasions, almost as if it is a foregone conclusion that the ability to communicate...

...Personality Organizational Behavior Assignments Please describe each of the "Big 5" personality traits. For each trait, provide an example of how it might contribute positively to an individual's performance. Develop a response that includes examples and evidence to support your ideas, and which clearly communicates the required message to your audience. Organize your response in a clear and logical manner as appropriate for the genre of writing. Use well-structured sentences, audience-appropriate language, and correct conventions of standard American English. Personality provides a measure of how an individual thinks, communicates with other people, reacts to different situations, deals with stress, sets goals, works to achieve those goals as well as how he/she analyzes information and handles situations. There are five personality traits that we will take a look at and how they contribute positively to an individual’s performance. The “Big 5” personality traits are Emotional Stability, Agreeableness, Extraversion, Conscientiousness, and Openness. Emotional Stability is a degree to which a person is calm, secure, and free from persistent negative feelings. Agreeableness contrasts a prosocial and communal orientation toward others with antagonism and includes traits such as altruism, tender-mindedness, trust, and modesty. Extraversion implies an energetic approach to the social and material world and includes traits such as sociability, activity, assertiveness...

...1. Employee participation is defined as a process of employee involvement designed to provide employees with the opportunity to influence and where appropriate, take part in decision making on matters which affect them in the context of their employment. Employee participation is part of a process of empowerment in the workplace. Empowerment involves decentralising power within the organisation to individual decision makers further down the line. Team working is a key part of the empowerment process and team members are encouraged to make decisions for themselves. Examples of employee participation include: i. quality circles or project groups in which employees work on projects where considerable responsibility is delegated to the team. You often see this in industrial manufacturing companies for assembling products ie. cars. ii. Suggestion system - where employees are given channels to provide suggestions or new ideas to managers within the organisation. iii. Team meetings or town halls where employees are encouraged to share ideas freely without retribution from management. iv. Delegation of responsibility within the organisation. In modern organisations the entry level employees need to be given considerable responsibility because they are often the face of the company. Their direct contact with customers on a day-to-day basis is where many customers form their image and opinion of a company. Furthermore, these employees feedback are often critical...

Tamil Nadu, South India This study is an attempt to discuss the role of emotion in learning process. Emotions are important in the classroom in two major ways. First, emotions have an impact on learning. They influence our ability to process information and to accurately understand what we encounter. For these reasons, it is important for teachers to create a positive, emotionally safe classroom environment to provide for the optimal learning of students. Second, learning how to manage feelings and interfere with learning occurs when students are anxious about their school-work (Cole, 1991; Dobson & Dobson, 1981). Students who are depressed or anxious about learning often do not feel competent academically. Teachers will understand how their students’ ...

...NDI -- Negotiation Diagnostic Instrument© This diagnostic instrument seeks to measure individual-level strengths and weaknesses in different negotiation situations. In completing this diagnostic instrument, it is emphasised that there are no right or wrong responses. The tool is based on the theory that individuals have a propensity to particular approaches, emotional responses and tactics in different situations. These aspects together constitute elements of negotiation style. Different styles will have both strengths and weaknesses depending on the particular situation in which they are applied. By understanding your own stylistic tendencies, this diagnostic tool is intended to assist the respondent to more effectively use their style to deliver better quality outcome sin negotiations. The NDI consists of three parts: • • • Part A identifies different approaches. Part B identifies different emotional responses in negotiation Part C identifies use of different types of tactics. Part A – Approaches to negotiation Below you are asked to choose between 30 pairs of statements. You are asked to indicate which of the two statements best describes you. 1. E.

...Chemical Senses Robert J. Bernal June 6, 2016 Robert Levitt, Instructor University of Phoenix Intro The senses of smell and taste are chemically based senses that are unique to the other senses in the way in which the brain interprets them. Unlike other senses which are perceived and categorized analytically, taste and smell both pass through the emotional response center of the brain on the way to their being stored as memories, evoking an emotional association to their formation as engrams. Consider the unlikely association between taste and smell and the emotional response that they can trigger; a chemical reaction that gives off a gaseous “odor”, completely quantifiable by scientific standards, can trigger a purely emotional, unquantifiable response. The question then becomes, how do smell and taste play on our emotions? How do Smell and Taste Effect Each Other? The senses of smell and taste are integrally linked, the ability to do one without the other is not possible with the way that the brain is wired. Physiologically speaking, the way that humans are “designed” or the way that we have evolved is that the nose and the mouth are located in proximity to each other. This means that as we taste a food we are also inhaling particles that create the aromas that are generated by that food, and the brain’s interpretation of the stimulus from the taste buds along with the olfactory sensors in the nose is simultaneous; the memory engrams that form based on...

...Emotional expressions are key in social interaction for they are deemed as the communicators of emotional experience. They can be controlled voluntarily and automatically, both means studied to develop a deeper understanding about human social interactions (Gnepp & Hess, 1986). As defined by Ekman and Friesen (1975), "display rules" are the regulators in which emotional expressions are controlled and when and how individuals do so. These display rules explain how emotional expressions are controlled via individuals' facial expressions and speech, which involve prosocial (benefiting another individual) or self-protective (protecting themselves) reasoning behind them (Saarni, 1981). Alongside these reasoning, there include many factors that influence children's use of cultural display rules, such as being placed in a circumstance where they are alone or among an audience, their age and even the possibility of gender influences (Gnepp & Hess, 1986). These are important areas to investigate as it...

...THE IMPACT OF EMOTIONAL ADVERTISING APPEALS ON CONSUMER IMPLICIT AND EXPLICIT MEMORY: AN ACCESSIBILITY/DIAGNOSTICITY PERSPECTIVE Patti Williams The Wharton School University of Pennsylvania May 2000 Rough working draft. Please do not quote without author’s permission. Patti Williams is Assistant Professor of Marketing at the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania, 1400 Steinberg/Dietrich Hall, Philadelphia, PA 19104 Thanks to Carol Scott, Jennifer Aaker, Bob Bjork, Gavan Fitzsimons, Debbie MacInnis and Don Morrison for their generous donations of time and support to my dissertation research, upon which this paper is based. Special thanks to Jennifer for her insight and editing skills in creating this version of the paper. This research was funded in part by the Procter and Gamble Marketing Innovation Fund. Particular thanks to Chris Allen for his efforts in facilitating my relationship with P & G. Abstract Emotional advertisements have a substantial impact on consumer attitudes, as well as upon purchase intentions. However, research on the influence of emotional appeals on memory has been somewhat mixed, with some researchers asserting that they result in poor consumer memory, while others argue that if tested properly, they have a substantial impact. The current research addresses these mixed results by relying on an accessibility/diagnosticity framework to explore the effect of emotions on consumer implicit and explicit memory. Explicit memory performance...

...Name Instructor Course Date Paper 3 Mental health refers to a psychological, emotional, and social well-being of the human being. It determines how one relates to others, handles stress, and makes choices in life. Mental health is crucial at every stage of life, from childhood to adulthood. Factors that determine mental disorders include biological factors, family history of mental disorders, and life experience. I employ three current methods in solving mental problems. They include cognitive behavioral, psychodynamic therapy, and pharmacological techniques. Psychodynamic therapy relates to mental problem solving that is based on Freudian systems of psychoanalysis (Barry 17). It makes use of various techniques to discover tension within a person with a mental problem that makes them seek medical help. It is assumed that there is a tension that the patient is not aware of that needs to be identified and corrected. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is my second current mental problem solving method (Barry 19). I use it to treat mental disorders in most situations. The importance of this method is to correct the patient’s mental problems towards life events so that their perception, interactions, and responses towards the real world are applicable and appropriate (Barry 25). It helps the patient to create new ideas and explain their experiences to reflect reality in the real world. The idea is not to give the patient a new story to tell but to help the patient...
