-Roger Elbert
Our emotions are powerful forces that can either
drives us into action or prevent us from taking
action. It can motive us to pursue our dreams or
remain passive.
Positive emotions such as love, joy, happiness
makes us feel good while negative emotions like
anger, fear and sadness lead us into brooding,
self-pity, and even depression.

Physiological/physical component
The physical component of emotion is a

physiological arousal that usually
accompanies the emotion the body is
feeling. If the body doesn’t experiences
this arousal, the intensity of this emotion
is greatly decreased.
During the arousal, the body experiences
the surge of powerful feelings known as
emotions. People who can detect changes
in their arousal level their experience their
emotions much more intensely than those
who cannot detect the changes in their
arousal level.
The arousal may be intense or mild
depending on the source of arousal.
Arousal starts in the brain. It involves he
activation of the reticular activation
system, the brain stem, and the
autonomic nervous system.
The Reticular Activation System (RAS)
connects the primitive brain stem and the
cortex and affects sleeping-walking
transitions.
Also involved in the physiological arousal is
the endocrine system, which stimulates
various gland, particularly, adrenaline, that
increases oxygen and glucose flow, dilates
the pupils, and suppresses systems such as
digestion and the immune system.
Emotional arousal is also a process,
which means it happens as a sequence
over time. Understanding this is a step
towards being able to manage the
process.
The physiologic component of emotion is
explained by several theories.
Cannon-Bard Theory
This theory claims that emotional states at the

same time in response to event. When
emotions are provoked , the physiological
arousal happens concurrently. The brain gets
a message that causes the experience of
emotion at the same time that the autonomic
nervous system gets a message that causes
physiological arousal.
James-Lange Theory
This theory claims that emotions are our

interpretation of the accompanying
physiological reactions. For instance,
when we feel tense and having cold feet,
we say we are afraid.
Two Factor Theory
It states that the experience of emotion

depends on two factors: the physiological
arousal and the interpretation of that
arousal. The person uses the immediate
environment to search for emotional cues
to label the physiological arousal.
Behavioral component
This component has been called the

outward expression of our emotions. Body
gestures, expressions, and our tone of
voice display what emotions we are
feeling. Many of our facial expressions are
universal.
For instance, if somebody has a mad look
their face, it doesn’t matter what language
they speak or where they are form,
chances are… they’re mad. However, some
emotional expressions are influenced by
our cultures and society’s rules for display
ay emotions on their face. Some people
have described them as looking mad when
in reality they are not.
Ekman discovered that people have
microexpression in addition to
macroexpression.
Macroexpression typically last between

0.5 to 4 seconds and involve the entire
face. These are emotions that we do not
intend to hide and occur whenever we are
alone or with family and close friends.
On the other hand, microexpressions are
expression that go on and off the face in a
fraction of a second, as fast as 1/30 of a
second. In the attempt to conceal
emotions, microexpressions can happen
so fast that one cannot recognize or see
them easily.
Cognitive Aspect
There are times when physiological arousal is

absent. In such case, a person decides what
he or she feels after interpreting or
explaining to himself what had happened.
American psychologist, Richard Lazarus, have
shown that the experience of emotion
depends on the manner one appraises or
evaluates an event.
Elements of Emotional Intelligence
To gain personal growth and achieve

success in life, a person need not depend on
intelligence quotient or IQ alone, but must
learn to develop emotional quotient or EQ
as well.
Whatever profession you will have in the
future, the ability to read people’s signals
and to react to them appropriately is
important. People can have better social
skills if they understand what they feel and
can appropriately express them.
Emotional Intelligence is the ability of a
person to understand and express
themselves, to understand and relate well
to others, and to successfully cope with the
demands of daily life.
The Five Components of Intelligence
Social Skill Self-Awareness
Empathy Self-Regulation
Motivation
1. Self-Awareness
-This is the ability of a person to tune in to

his/her own feelings. A person can
recognize his emotions and its effects on
others. He/she can accept his/her feeling
whether a positive or negative because
he/she is confident about his/her self-worth
and capability.
2. Self-Regulation
-this is the ability to control disruptive

impulses cause by negative emotions such
as anger, anxiety or depression. How long
can you hold into a particular emotion
matters. It also involves trustworthiness,
conscientiousness, adaptability, and
innovation.
A person is trustworthy if he/she can
maintain standards of honesty and
integrity. One is considered conscientious if
he/she takes responsibility for his/her
work. Adaptability refers to the ability to be
flexible in handling change, and innovation
is open in new ideas.
3. Motivation
-an emotionally competent person can

motivate himself to work because he has a
positive attitude in life and knows how to
set clear goals even if he has a negative
attitude towards something, he finds a way
to think more positively by reframing hid
negative thoughts as they occur.
4. Empathy
-this ability help one to recognize and

understand how other people feel. A person
with empathy is service-oriented,
encourages people in their abilities,
cultivates opportunities, and is politically
aware. An empathic person discerns
feelings behind the needs and wants of
other person.
5. Social Skills
This is usually referred to as “People skills”

because they can influence, communicate,
and lead. People with social skills have
good interpersonal skills which can help
them build success in life and in their
career. In today’s always-connected world,
everyone has immediate access to technical
knowledge.
Thus, “People Skills are even more important
now because with high EQ, one can better
understand, empathize and negotiate with
others in a growing global community.
Individuals who posses good social skills are
also catalyst of change, can manage conflicts
well and are able to build bonds.They can
work well with others through collaboration
and cooperation.They are good team payers.
