Emotion Experience and its Varieties

Nico H. Frijda

Department of Psychology, University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands, N.H.Frijda{at}uva.nl

Emotion experience reflects some of the outcomes of the mostly nonconscious processes that compose emotions. In my view, the major processes are appraisal, affect, action readiness, and autonomic arousal. The phenomenology of emotion experience varies according to mode of consciousness (nonreflective or reflective consciousness), and to direction and mode of attention. As a result, emotion experience may be either ineffable or articulate with respect to any or all of the underlying processes. In addition, emotion experience reflects the degree to which the emotion processes control perception, thought, action and bodily arousal.

Key Words: action readiness • control precedence • first-order experience • phenomenology
