Emotions temporary, fast. Basic emotions: anger, disgust, fear, happiness, sadness, surprise. Feelings require cognitive processing, tend to be long-lasting, occur when emotions are assigned meanings. Affect how someone appears to be feeling, complexity, usually lasting. Mood pretty much the same.
Emotions are temporary; feelings are cognitive. I have always thought these terms were one in the same. This video has assisted me in understanding these terms a bit more.
Thank You! Affect and mood always confused me when reading counseling literature. They seemed to be used interchangeably, but now I know for sure that there is not a difference and they can be used interchangeably.
How can you identify if what you're experiencing is an emotion, feeling or mood? I mean yes of course I understood the differences but maybe putting them in a context would be more easier to understand exactly the differences.
I never looked at emotions and feelings differently. I would use emotions and feelings interchangeably by saying, “express your emotions…” or “express your feelings…”
I have seen many definitions of these terms, however, still get confused sometimes. Thank you for putting them together and reminding me of their differences.
I need to play this back at a slightly slower speed to memorize, and in grain it. Plasticity isn’t as fast as it was. It’s more than worth memorizing. Watch out Dr Jung I took another rung. (😊)
Thank you for explaining the differences between them. I was wondering if you could provide an article or book that explains what you talked about in the video.
Psychoanalytic literature talks about the importance of affect quite often. "A person's affect is the expression of emotion or feelings displayed to others through facial expressions, hand gestures, voice tone, and other emotional signs such as laughter or tears. ... A restricted or constricted affect describes a mild restriction in the range or intensity of display of feelings." "Common examples of affect are euphoria, anger, and sadness. A range of affect may be described as broad (normal), restricted (constricted), blunted, or flat. The normal expression of affect involves variability in facial expression, pitch of voice, and the use of hand and body movements." (Google, not attributed there except to washington.edu ).
If emotions are anger, disgust, fear, sadness, happiness and surprise, I'm curious (and puzzled!) to know what some examples of "feelings" are? I'm assuming that feelings must be like, bitterness, revenge, or jealousy?
It is helpful to differentiate these terms, particularly when considering theories or research. These terms are often used interchangeable, but not in all disciplines.
there's no greed or arrogance in that list...certainly people feel like they are better than others. we all feel like we are wiser smarter or more deserving of special treatment at times.. i.e. driving or competing for some scarce item..
3 doctors considering me ect none of medicine is working for me for 2 year my depression is getting worst day by day I'm emotionally numbed I can't sleep I can't eat anything and I can't get out of the bed what can I do
Affects are emotions removed from there perspective emotion is a feeling removed from its perspective a feeling is a thought apart from its perspective a though is an action apart from its perspective. Mood is the perspective and urges are the source of the point you are the point and all else is the projection of the point into a time subjective mirror.
People often say that psychopaths lack affect. Is that just a somewhat less judgemental way of saying they lack feelings? Someone please answer.(I know they feel emotions)
Todd great post! I partly agree. I found there is only one emotion: FEAR! which at the base of all the others. (please see my book: BRAIN REBOOT if you like)

Emotion=energy in motion
Feeling=the motion we feel in the body(and cognitively).....
Having a better understanding of each term will greatly benefit me when I do my internship/practicum.
It is interesting to hear that there are many definitions for these terms. I would not have thought there would be.
Interesting. Thank you for sorting out these terms. I've always considered affect to be the observable indicators of feelings and mood.
This is a tricky one to comprehend, Todd - Thank God for your pedagogical skills or I wouldn't get it. ♥️ A feeling does indeed last longer. 😢
Omg, thank you so much. I’ve been looking for someone who can explain this so well 💫
Thank You! Affect and mood always confused me when reading counseling literature. They seemed to be used interchangeably, but now I know for sure that there is not a difference and they can be used interchangeably.
Your explanation of these terms were helpful. Probably the best that I've heard. Thank you!

this is a good and correct explanation
Thanks for the simplification and clarification of this
This is a great explanation indeed

Very informative, I see how they all fit together but stay different at the same time.
Interesting distinction between feelings and emotions.
VERY GOOD DR TOD THANKS FOR YOUR INFORMATION 🙏🙏🙏
Although all these terms can be used interchangeably at times this video gives an explanation of the differences in these terms
I have seen many definitions of these terms, however, still get confused sometimes. Thank you for putting them together and reminding me of their differences.
Good explanations. Thank you

Hello, what literature would you recomend about emotions and fellings?
Thank you for your explanation!
Nice
thank you

if all you feel is annoyance or nothing when you see someone crying and in pain what does that say about the person?
Is an anxiety attack a feeling or emotion?
there's no greed or arrogance in that list...certainly people feel like they are better than others. we all feel like we are wiser smarter or more deserving of special treatment at times.. i.e. driving or competing for some scarce item..
I have problems trusting my feelings I trust my emotions.. hard to understand in general for me
Hi I like the video but I am missing some resources for those claims :)
can affect be synonymous with expression?

you are as smart as Jordan P but easier to understand - you talk slower and this helps us.

That, and maybe it means they lack outward expression of emotion through the body and face?
Youre smart
Does good or bad mood hamper to information intaking
I’d say yes, when you’re happy you’ll listen, when you aren’t, you shut down.
I still don't get it
