Blog #5 - Look at emotions article - responce
Emotion. To what extent can we trust what is true? To elaborate
on that, our emotions have a bad habit to recognize situations, judge and
create feelings in an instant. Leading us to believe things we think are the
correct but are far from.
The article uses a great example where ‘Lisa’ goes on a date
with a coworker, she agrees because of the stress of work. She thinks she likes him
because she is a data with him when she does not even know him that well.
The proposition forms the text describes a situation where we
can mistake an infection for “love”. That sensation
like anger, anxiety, hunger or illness is
not as distinct that I might first assume, how we take that information and misinterpret
them with the situation to creates a file of memory that we refer back to alone.
In my own interpretation,
I don’t think she is in love with the man. I don’t think that he is significant
in any way to her. She is not in love with him, in fact, she is in love with what he did. The fact that he asked her
out in a time where she is just abolished with work, he gave her an escape from
her work, that is what he did, being on a date she subconsciously neglects the facts and focuses on a relived emotion
she feels in that moment and that is super
powerful.
It is nice that the article includes data and analysis of
tests here they tested their hypothesis, how they use several situations to
test it. Although I think any test that has to do with the ways of knowing is
bogus. Because in a lot of psychological tests the outcomes can be predictable. It
makes me question where the data comes from, that are the dependent variables. As
in all types of experiments need to be measured, in these experiments, there is no real quantitative data,
nothing to analyze and no real evidence
to share with other investigators. Hence the whole purpose of the scientific method. So, it is hard for us to understand.
Another price of critical analysis I have towards the topic
is that when someone knows they are under test conditions they tend to act differently.
They talk, listen and act in tentative movants because they subcommunity behaved
that they fell Is correct for the application. An emotional stimulus is impacting
their actions and marking a huge core of error in their investigation.
The best ways for the physiological
investigation to be carried out would be to have a controlled situation unfolded
on an unsuspecting test subject. And make not of responses on a controlled set
of prompts that apply to more than one situation so that the test can be duplicated,
and all the data would be relevant to each other, so we can draw accurate conclusions.
In a real sense, there is no way we can trust what we believe
is true because the behavior is not a constant and can’t be
replicated.
I personally liked your interpretation of this article as you backed up your claims with evidence from the article itself. I liked your extension on the physiological investigation as it really added another point of view to your interpretation.
ReplyDeleteYour interpretations of the article are really concise and great. I personally find it interesting that something so irrelevant like being sick could affect your emotion in an event like a date and that she misunderstood her stomach pains for a feeling of love she thought she had to a man. It would be great if you could maybe relate the theories to yourself to make it more personal.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your response as you were very analytical of the text and all of your opinions were supported with evidence that the article gave. I agree with your conclusion as we cannot trust our behavior since it is not constant and nothing can be exactly replicated.
ReplyDeleteYour article is pretty neat Saed. I do believe that test conditions really do have an impact on our emotions as well as that there is no way we can trust our feelings because different incidents makes us react differently. You've stated that we mix up emotions using the Lisa example, and that psychological test's are just "bogus".
