Derived termsSynonymsFrom Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Emotion is associated with mood, temperament, personality, and disposition. The English word 'emotion' is derived from the French word émouvoir. This is based on the Latin emovere, where e- (variant of ex-) means 'out' and movere means 'move'. The related term "motivation" is also derived from movere. No definitive taxonomy of emotions exists, though numerous taxonomies have been proposed. Some categorizations include:
A related distinction is between the emotion and the results of the emotion, principally behaviors and emotional expressions. People often behave in certain ways as a direct result of their emotional state, such as crying, fighting or fleeing. If one can have the emotion without the corresponding behavior, then we may consider the behavior not to be essential to the emotion. Neuroscientific research suggests there is a "magic quarter second" during which it's possible to catch a thought before it becomes an emotional reaction. In that instant, one can catch a feeling before allowing it to take hold. The James-Lange theory posits that emotional experience is largely due to the experience of bodily changes. The functionalist approach to emotions (e.g. Nico Frijda) holds that emotions have evolved for a particular function, such as to keep the subject safe. From Wikipedia under the

Ones that take you away and just completely envelope you in said emotion. (Depressing would be good.) I just need them to break out of writers block.

Q. Some men are more emotional then others. So I was just wondering what can a man like this do to control his emotion and not show his venerability in front of others. I want to know what men AND women think about this issue. Asked by jellymarrow13 - Sat Mar 24 10:29:35 2007 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. It can be very easy to control ones emotions. When having conversations with others, do not allow them to illicit any Personal information from you - divert the questions back to them instead. Don't allow others to make "you" the focus of the conversation. Try to be neutral, and change your focus towards something neutral like the weather. Remember, the more you give in and break down, the more people will make you the target and keep you in the vulnerable state. When they are trying to get you to be emotional, let it go and avoid the confrontation - that's what they are looking to do.*** Good luck.

Q. In the past a strong man is some one who is bold, capable of controlling and suppressing his emotion and not letting his feeling take control of him. Nowadays, men are being told to get in touch with their feminine side and to get in touch with their feeling. Do you believe that suppression of emotion has been replaced by emotional expression in modern society? Asked by Gun fanatic - Sat May 17 13:51:12 2008 - - 11 Answers - 0 Comments A. Suppressing emotions is realy bad for a person; it prevents them from having emotions, and therefore losing the capacity for happiness. Emotions are a valuable source of informaiton to us. If one supresses them, then they don't realize when there are things in their lives they need to fix. Supressing emotions mangles people. Thus, to the extent that this harmful idea is dying, that's a good thing. Unfortunately, it isn't dying quickly enough. Emotions are NOT feminine. That's a myth. Men have feelings, and not just anger, but the whole range of feelings. People who haven't spent their lives supressing their feelings can feel love and joy and relief, and all sorts of good things, as well as feeling hurt, angry, sad, or the other… [cont.] Answered by tehabwa - Sat May 17 16:18:35 2008 From Yahoo Answer Search: "emotion"  news.google.com Hollister Free Lance Earning an elusive medal at state, Davila will need to call upon that explosive emotion he used at CCS two weeks ago.
