摘要:Emotion, one crucial aspect of human behavior often overlooked by researchers, operators, and policymakers who often view it as too “soft” for serious consideration or research, serves a crucial purpose in understanding any individual or group behavior. For the individual, emotions are evolved information-processing systems that aid in survival.1 These transient, fleeting reactions to events can impact a person’s welfare and require immediate response.2 Emotions prime behaviors by initiating unique physiological signatures and mental structures, aid in bonding memories and cognitions, and, most important, serve as a motivator of human behavior.3.
