0531 - Emotions - What are They Good For? Absolutely Something, Sometimes.
Course Description
In this lecture, we will do a deep-dive into the complex and nuanced topic of emotions - both the experience and regulation of them. More specifically, we will seek to answer the following four questions: 1) Definition: What are emotions? 2) Function: What is their purpose? 3) Context: When are they adaptive? 4) Emotion Regulation: What can you do to change them?
