Chapter 8 Discussion
After reading Chapter 8 of your textbook or eBook, answer the following questions by using the terms and concepts you learned from the chapter in your responses:
- Explain a time you engaged in a reappraisal of emotions. What was the result?
- Think of a time when you or someone you know did not express emotions effectively. What was the outcome of that ineffective expression? How can one express emotions using the specific suggestions in the text (e.g., recognize your feelings, choose the best language, share multiple feelings, recognize the difference between feeling and acting, accept responsibility for your feelings, and choose the best time and place to express your feelings)?
- Give examples of facilitative emotions and debilitative emotions. How can you minimize debilitative emotions and maximize facilitative emotions?
