“How does your body contribute to emotion?”
Season 7 Episode 9
My guest on this week’s episode of The Lifestyle First Podcast is Dr Kristen Lindquist
Kristen is an Associate Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience at the University of North Carolina and her research is part of affective science, the research of emotions.
We discuss the mind-body connection
We talk about the function of the brain to keep our body alive by making predictions to maintain survival and the creation of emotion as a sensation of activation to manage challenges
We look at hunger and emotion and being hangry
We explore the connection between inflammation and emotion
We highlight the tactile sensations of pain which causes unpleasantness and creates hypervigilance
1. The one question we discuss is “How does your body contribute to emotion?”
2. The two references we look at are:
(i.) J. MacCormack and K. Lindquist. Feeling hangry: when hunger is conceptualised as emotion. Emotion. American Psychological Association. 2019. 19 (2): 301-219
https://www.apa.org/pubs/journals/releases/emo-emo0000422.pdf
(ii.) Bodily Contributions to Emotion: Schachter’s Legacy for a Psychological Construcionist View of Emotion. J. MacCormack and K. A. Lindquist. Emotion Review. 2016. 1-10
3. The three actions to take are
· Take care of your physical wellbeing
· Eat well to shift your emotional experiences; Exercise. Get 8-10 hours of sleep.
· Increase awareness of your body states and emotions – try mindfulness based meditation or yoga
