Written Test Sites for Teacher Recruitment in 2020: Four Emotion Theories

The recruitment examination for instructors will involve emotional theory test sites, and may involve multiple-choice questions and subjective questions. In the written test of teacher recruitment in 2020, the four emotional theories will also appear as high-frequency test points in the examination syllabus. In order to better grasp this knowledge point, I will introduce these four emotional theories in detail for candidates today, hoping to help them prepare for the exam better.

Darwinian evolution theory

Darwin's view of evolution holds that emotion, as evidence of human race evolution, may be the mechanism by which human behavior can continue. Emotional, intellectual and other psychological functions are obtained through the evolutionary ladder. Although the psychological difference between human beings and higher animals is huge, this difference is only procedural, not species. The feeling and intuition, emotion and psychological abilities boasted by human beings, such as love, memory, attention, curiosity, imitation and reasoning. In animals below human beings, it is in infancy and even in a quite developed state.

Freudian theory

Psychoanalysis is not only a psychotherapy method for neurosis, but also a psychological theory gradually formed in medical practice. This theory describes the phenomena of internal drive, emotion, conflict, psychology and personality from both explicit and implicit aspects. From the perspective of emotion, Freud put emotion in the framework of internal drive and unconsciousness.

James Lange Theory

Based on the influence of Darwinian evolution theory and the development of biological science, American psychologist James (W.) and Danish physiologist Carl Langer (C.) put forward the same emotional theory in 1884 and 1554 respectively, which was later called James Langer's emotional periphery theory. James pointed out that according to common sense, intuition about external events makes people feel emotional, which leads to a series of physical changes. However, he believes that physical changes caused by external stimuli are the direct cause of emotions, and emotions are the feelings of physical changes. James clearly said: "after perception, before emotion, there must be physical performance, so it is more reasonable to say that we are sad because of crying;" I am angry because I started to fight; I'm scared because I'm shaking. It's not that we cry when we are sad, fight when we are angry, and tremble when we are afraid ... "

James Langer's emotional theory has caused a series of experimental studies, but many facts contrary to their theory have been obtained.

Cannon-Budd theory

W.B. Cannon disagrees with James Langer's emotional theory, and according to the experiment of P. Budd and others about "false anger" after removing all structures above diencephalon, in 1927, it is proposed that emotional production is a comprehensive function of the cerebral cortex to relieve thalamic inhibition, that is, the stimulation of stimulating emotions is processed by thalamus and the information is transmitted to the brain and other parts of the body. The information transmitted to the cerebral cortex produces emotional experience; Information transmitted to internal organs and skeletal muscles activates physiological responses. Physical changes and emotional experiences occur simultaneously, and emotional feelings are the result of stimulation of cerebral cortex and autonomic nervous system.

Cannon-Budd theory emphasizes the mechanism of cerebral cortex relieving thalamic inhibition, and pushes James Langer's research on peripheral physiology of emotions to central physiology.

In the written test of teacher recruitment in 2020, the above four emotional theories are frequently tested knowledge points. In order to get good grades in the exam, candidates need to master and review, prepare for the written test of teacher recruitment, and ensure that they do not lose points when they encounter such problems in the exam. You know, not losing unnecessary points is the guarantee of getting high marks.
