Excitation Transfer Theory: The Psychological Process of Emotional Intensification, Lecture notes of English Language

Excitation transfer theory is a psychological concept that explains how the residual excitement of one emotional response can intensify another. This process is not limited to a single emotion and can occur in various contexts, including watching movies or experiencing communication messages. The theory requires three conditions: the second emotion occurs before the complete decay of the first excitement, there is an excitement assignment, and the individual did not reach an excitatory threshold before the second emotion. Excitation transfer theory was developed by dolf zillmann in the late 1960s and has since become a key component of communication and emotion studies.

The excitement transfer theory aims that the residual excitement of a stem broadens the excitatory response to another stomach, although the heddy values of the stomaches may differ. [1] The process of excitement transfer is not limited to a single emotion. [2] For example, when watching a movie, a spectator can be irritated by seeing the hero unjusticed by the villain, but this initial excitement can intensify the pleasure of the spectator in witnessing the punishment of the villain later. Thus, although the excitement of the original stomach of seeing the wrong hero were cognitively accessed as anger, the excitement after the second stem from seeing the punished villain is cognitively evaluated as pleasure, although part of the excitement of the second stem is residual from the first. However, the process of excitement transfer requires the presence of three conditions. A: The second stem occurs before the complete decadence of the residual excitement of the first stomach. [3] Two: There is an excitement assignment, this is, after exposure to the second stomach, the individual who experiences the excitement attributes total excitement For the second stem. [4] Three: the individual did not reach an excitatory threshold before exposure to the second stem [5]. The origins of Exciting Transfer Theory Dolf Zillmann began to develop excitement transfer theory in the late 1960s / 1970s, and through the beginning of the XXI, Zillmann continued to refine him. [6] Exciting transfer theory is based on a large part of Clark Hull's residual excitement (ie, unity theory) and emoã theory Stanley Schachter's emotion. As Bryant and Miron (2003) said: Zillmann collapsed and theory Connected Hull Unit and the theory of two Schachter factors, which postulated an excitatory and a cognitive component of emotional states. In contrast to Hull hypothesis that excitatory reactions "lose" their specificity under new stimulation, Schachter claimed that emotional excitement is not specific, and the individual assesses cognitively the emotion that it is experiencing for the purposes of orientation and adjustment behavioral. Zillmann adopted and modified Schacter's vision about it. [7] In other words, the excitement transfer theory is based on the assumption that excitement responses are, mostly, ambieguos and are differentiated Just by emotions that the brain gathering to them. As Zillmann (2006) stated, "residual excitement of essentially any excited emotional reaction is able to intensify any other animated emotional reaction. The degree of intensification depends on, © of course, on the level of existing resurrements at the moment. " [8] Thus, excitement transfer theory helps to explain the unconvention of emotional excitement (that is, as it is possible, for fear of being transferred to relief, anger in pleasure, etc.), and how the reaction a stem can intensify the reaction to another. Although the excitement transfer theory were based heavily on psychology, psychophysiology and biochemics, it has often been applied to effects studies in the field of communication. [9] Like Bryant and Miron, he explained, "The growing concern with the increasingly violent media content in the late 1960s and the beginning of the 1970s has stimulated debate on the possible effects of such content in the behavior of life real of media consumers ". [10] Eventually, excitement transfer theory has become one of the dominant conductive subpinnings to predict, test and explain the effects of such machines (eg violent films / television programs, pornography, music etc.). Zillmann (1971) stated that "the excitement produced by communication can serve to intensify or" energize "emotional emotional states." [11] However, excitement transfer is not limited to face-to-face communication stimulus, but may of an array of stoms, including mediated messages. Tannenbaum and Zillmann (1975) argued: Most people probably do not consider excitement of the exhibition to the media to be pronounced enough to ensure Attention and therefore they do not expect this to affect their behavior. Sorry such arousals as trivial, the individual will tend to assign any accumulation of residues not to previous communication events [which are, in this case, mediated messages], but for the new Situations of stem in which it is. In addition, by virtue of its "Unreal" and symbolic content (possibly encouraging fantasy), communication messages are generally not related to the real and immediate problems of the person and concerns. This should further encourage the assignment of accumulating excitement and therefore make the person even more vulnerable to transfer effects on their blood-generation behavior. [12] In short, stupids, if they are in real life, on a television or film screen, or a combination of the two, can cause excitement transfers. Today, excitement transfer theory remains a key component of the studies of studies focused on communication and emotion. References ^ Bryant, J., & Miron, D. (2003). Excitement transfer theory.
