Before discussing different kinds
of emotions, let us briefly talk about how researchers 1 bodily
processes, actions and behavior, and how this relates to what we do in our
daily lives when we observe emotions in 2 .
Bodily
processes can be directly measured by 3 of a
polygraph. (測謊器)When a polygraph is skillfully used to 4 how
we react bodily with what we are 5 , it is called a
"lie detector". Bodily processes can also be measured 6
. This is what we do when we observe someone blushing (臉紅). However, we are not always 7
of what bodily processes respond to.
Measuring
action 8 behavior is the other way researchers
assess the emotions. 9 , one measure of fear of snakes
is how 10 a person will go to the snake. Another procedure is to
have a person 11 how afraid he is, or how he feels, in this
way, researchers have 12 the so-called "fear
thermometer" to assess a person's fear. 13 our
everyday living, we do very much the same thing. Only not too 14
. We react to what a person does, what he says, 15 he
says it, and how he looks. Is he smiling? Is his voice trembling? We put all
this 16 together to infer what a person is feeling.
17 , we do not
always act as we feel. Sometimes we do things that we don't feel like doing. 18
we say we feel one way and then we act another. Actors, for example,
successfully learn to "make believe" emotions, or learn to 19
them. Thus we 20 always tell what a
person is feeling by what he says or by what he does.
