    Topic: Positive Emotional States & Processes

    Positive emotions and well-being


    The term ‗emotion‘ is notoriously difficult to define. As Fehr and Russell put it:
    ‗everyone knows what emotion is until asked to give a :
    Definition‘. Yet we all use this term and seem to easily understand to what, in our
    experience, it relates. Psychologists often employ the notion of affect * as an umbrella
    term for various positive and negative emotions, feelings and moods we frequently
    experience and easily recognize.

    Topic: Positive Emotional States & Processes

    Acute and Chronic Stressors


    Although the function of coping remains the same, it is likely that the form of an
    individual‘s attempts at coping change over the course of time.
    Both internal and external stressors can be acute or chronic.
    For example, someone may get an excruciating headache one afternoon that
    seems to appear out of the blue and lasts for a few hours.
