Lazaru's explanation for emotion

Cognitive appraisal theory, our brains process and react to vast amounts of information without our conscious awareness. Some emotional responses do not require conscious thinking, but instantaneously felt emotions require some sort of cognitive appraisal of the situation. The appraisal may be effortless and we not be conscious of it, but it is still a mental function, to know whether something is good or bad, the brain must have some idea of what it is. Emotions arise when we appraise an event as beneficial or harmful to our well-being, whether we truly know it is or not.

Assessing the unconscious

Freud tried to get unconscious themes to be projected into the conscious world through free association and dream analysis. Projective tests are structured, systematic exposure to a standardized set of ambiguous prompts, designed to reveal inner dynamics.

Williams College Study

They had students talk, one at a time, with a young woman who acted either cold and critical or warm and friendly. Before the conversations, the researchers told half the students that the woman's behavior would be spontaneous. They told the other half the truth—that they had instructed her to act friendly (or unfriendly). Did hearing the truth affect students' impressions of the woman? Not at all! If the woman acted friendly, both groups decided she really was a warm person. If she acted unfriendly, both decided she really was a cold person. They attributed her behavior to her personal disposition even when told that her behavior was situational—that she was merely acting that way for the purposes of the experiment.
