Inside Out Assignment56299104762500Disney’s movie Inside Out addresses many aspects of psychology. As you watch the film, take notes and answer the following questions:What part of the brain does the “control center” represent? How do you know? Explain in one paragraph. (10 points) In 2-3 paragraphs, make an argument as to which theory of emotion best describes Riley’s emotional experience. You must pick a thesis and support your argument in two-three paragraphs. (30 points) To help, use the following organizer:RILEY’S EMOTIONSParts of an EmotionJoyFearAngerDisgustSadnessPhysiological Arousal(What does the body feel like inside?)Expressive Behaviors(What does the body look like outside?)Conscious Experience(What does the person think?)THEORIES OF EMOTIONTHEORYDEFINITIONAPPLICATION TO RILEYJames-LangeWe become aware of how we are feeling and only then do we experience an emotion.Cannon-BardA stimulus triggers our physical and psychological experience of emotion at the same time.
