EMOTIONS
3 main components
Subjective experience
Researchers believe that experiencing emotions can be highly subjective, meaning that people can experience the same emotion in different ways.
People don't always experience pure forms of each emotion. There are mixed emotions over different events or situations in our lives which are are common.
Besides, experiencing an emotion can depend on the person and the situation.
Physiological response
The amygdala which is part of the limbic system and plays an important role in emotion and particularly in fear.
The amygdala is a tiny, almond-shaped structure that has been linked to motivational states .
The amygdala becomes activated when for example, people are shown threatening images.
In addition, damage to the amygdala has been shown to impair the fear response.
Many of the physiological responses people experience during an emotion are regulated by the sympathetic nervous system, which is a branch of the autonomic nervous system.

The sympathetic nervous system is charged with controlling the body's fight-or-flight reactions. When facing a threat, these responses automatically prepare your body to flee from danger or face the threat head-on.
Behavioural response
The ability to accurately understand expressions of people around us is tied to what psychologists call emotional intelligence.
