Feeling All the Feels: Crash Course Psychology #25
Pounding heart, faster steps, 'am I about to get mugged?' That's one emotion in three parts. 🫀
Who it's for
The episode opens by acknowledging that emotions can seem irrational, then argues they are useful, giving us energy and motivation to meet our goals and needs.
Feelings it meets
What it is
An episode of Crash Course Psychology, hosted by Hank Green and released in August 2014, on what emotions are and why they are useful. It describes emotion as a mix of physical arousal, expressive behaviour and conscious experience, and surveys the James-Lange, Cannon-Bard and Schachter-Singer two-factor theories along with the 'top-down' and 'bottom-up' pathways between thinking and feeling.
