Emotion plays a major role in influencing our behaviour. Life would be dreary without feelings like joy and sorrow, excitement and disappointment, love and fear, hope and dismay. Emotion is a complete effective experience that involves diffuse physiological changes and can be expressed overtly in characteristic behaviour patterns, says Charles G Morris. Emotion adds colour and spice to life. Every emotional experience is associated with one or the other innate instinct. It is a roused under the influence of an instinctive excitement. Some of the changes which express themselves as overt behaviour are easily observable. For example, the heart beating, reddened eyes, flushed cheeks, choke in the voice, or an attack on an emotion a roused stimulus. Emotions are those powerful feelings of love, fear, anxiety or anger. They are human response to any specific type of situation when confronted. Emotions play a vital role in our lives. They can be positive or negative. Emotions are an important part of our lives.
