What are your speculations regarding the survivability utility of the emotion of anxiety? Could you find any empirical evidence to support your views?
Reality represents the type of fear human beings experience in the presence of any realistic danger of unique kinds. The ability of human beings to survive or cope with the daily occurrences depends on the survivability of the emotion of anxiety. My speculation in relation to survivability utility of emotion of anxiety is that human beings have the capacity to live with certain amount of emotions concerning anxiety. This would determine the level of success or effective development as human beings. The theory of evolution states that human beings or other creatures evolve or adapt with relevant conditions in order to maximize their potentials. This theory relates to the ability of human beings to survive certain amount of emotion of anxiety to be able to achieve elements of growth and development.
Did Freud conclude that affects could be repressed? Explain your response.
Freud concludes that affects could be repressed. Freud notes that there is minimal difference or distinction between suppression and repression. Freud considers affects as unconscious hence can undergo suppression. From this perspective, elimination of affects reflects on the suppression from the conscious. Affects remain unconscious elements in the discussion of emotions hence repression process. Freud views repression as failed process of suppression hence it is possible to have to accomplish the objective.
Most clients seek the assistance of psychotherapists to control what dimension of emotion given in Plutchik's structural model?
Most clients seek assistance of psychotherapists to control three-dimensional emotion according to the Plutchik's structural model. The three-dimensional emotion possesses three different characteristics: variance in intensity, variance in the degree of similarity in relation to one another, and presence of bipolar feelings and actions (Plutchik, 2000). The three-dimensional emotions represent combination of the three characteristics and eight elements (joy, anger, fear, anticipation, disgust, sadness, surprise, and acceptance).
Based on the research of Lonigan, Phillips, and Hooe (2003), is it theoretically possible to experience positive and negative emotions at the same time?
It is theoretically possible to experience positive and negative emotions at the same according to the research by Lonigan, Phillips, and Hooe. Mixed emotions characterize existence and interaction of human beings hence it is possible to experience positive and negative aspects of emotions at the same time (Milton, 2005).
How personality traits and emotions are supposedly related
There is close relationship between personal traits and emotions in that the former has the capacity to influence the latter. Human beings develop emotions such as joy, anger, and anxiety depending on their personality traits. Emotions have the capacity to adapt and react to personality traits in the existence and interaction of human beings. Personality traits can also control or depress emotions developed. This indicates that personality can suppress or repress emotions or affects thus fostering the development of human beings. Personality traits also illustrate the type of emotion an individual is experiencing. This relationship indicates that personality trait represent symptoms of an emotion in relation to behavior of human beings.
