Primary affective systems
|
|
Jaak Panksepp carved out seven biologically inherited primary (emotional) affective systems called SEEKING (expectancy), FEAR (anxiety), RAGE (anger), LUST (sexual excitement), CARE (nurturance), PANIC/GRIEF (sadness), and PLAY (social joy). These are distinguished from secondary emotional processes (i.e. emotional learning, such as classical and operant conditioning), and tertiary-process emotions (i.e. "the intrapsychic ruminations and thoughts about one's lot in life"). The emotional-affect system (primary, secondary, and tertiary), are also distinguished from two other affect systems: sensory affects (eg: pleasures of taste and distress of pain), and homeostatic affects (eg: hunger and thirst). Panksepp proposed what is known as "core-SELF" to be generating these affects (see neural basis of self).<ref name=":0" /> |
