What is the main difference between Fear and Anxiety? <\/p>\n

Although they are part of the same ‘family’, they represent two different types of emotions: primary emotions (fear) and secondary emotions (anxiety).<\/p>\n

From a physical point of view, primary and secondary emotions use the same neuronal circuits as effector pathways and manifest themselves in the same way on a bodily level (certain neurophysiological indices: heartbeat, breathing rhythm, skin conductance, pupillary constriction-dilation, etc.), but differ appreciably in timing and processing.<\/p>\n

Primary emotions are innate (expressive potential written into our genome) and depend on instinctive responses that are activated in the deep, ancient nuclei of our brain (paleocortex<\/i>).<\/p>\n

Primary emotions originate directly from circuits in the limbic system (especially the amygdala and anterior cingulate gyrus).<\/p>\n

Secondary emotions are acquired (learned, imitated, contingency-related) and depend on associative relationships established on the basis of lived experiences. Compared to primary emotions, they are also processed by the cortices (neocortex<\/i>), that is, in the genesis of secondary emotions, cortical cognitive and associative processes that mediate the activation of the ‘ancient brain’ are also involved.<\/p>\n

What behavioural reactions do those who experience a primary emotion have, apart from facial expressions? <\/p>\n

He may flee unreasonably from a fire and in a ‘panic’; he reacts angrily or attacks someone, following a serious wrong suffered; he spits and makes a grimace of disgust, immediately after putting something bitter or with a nauseating taste in his mouth.<\/p>\n

Secondary emotions involve slowing down following cognitive analysis and subsequent mental processing of the stimulus. Behaviours related to secondary emotions may be, for example, being agitated before a demanding university exam; feeling a strong sense of embarrassment and shame at being publicly shamed by someone; feeling guilt at having betrayed the trust of someone who trusted us.<\/p>\n

\n

Secondary emotions involve a slowdown following cognitive analysis and subsequent mental processing of the stimulus.<\/p>\n

It is indeed crucial to be able to distinguish which observable elements come into play during emotions, whether primary or secondary.<\/p>\n

Because we cannot directly observe the neurological activating elements, we can direct our attention to what is communicated on the verbal, non-verbal and para-verbal plane.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
