Emotion is a state of biological arousal that can be described along a spectrum ranging from anxiety to depression, with a non-aroused state of euthymia. It is a complex reaction pattern, produced by some stimulus that involves experiential, behavioral, and physiological elements. [1]
Emotions have been defined as “distinct, integrated psychophysiological response systems ... An emotion contains three differentiable response systems: 1) a prototypic form of epression (typically facial), 2) a pattern of consistent autonomic changes, and 3) a distinct subjective feeling state.[2]
