  13. Our bodies have a genetically resident sin nature. • Romans 8:7-8 (NKJV)7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be.8 So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God. • 1 John 1:8 (NKJV)8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

  21. The Sequence of Cognitive (Intelligent) Emotions • Hypocrisy and Backsliding are related to how we think, so, we need to know “How We Think”. • There is a sequence to thinking: • 1. There is an event. • 2. Then we Perceive the Event. • 3. Then we Appraise the Event. • 4. Filtering the Appraisal we get a Representation. • 5. Then we Respond or React to the Representation by what we Choose (our Volition). LWBC 01-20-08

  22. The Sequence of Thinking SC Attribution Mood Beliefs Attitude Knowledge OR LWBC 01-20-08

  23. 1. The Event: • Something happens, (a remark, a gesture, an accident, etc.) that potentially relates to one of the persons goals as either: • a threat or • an enhancer. LWBC 01-20-08

  24. 2. Perception of the Event: • The individual becomes fully aware of the event (through seeing, hearing, or reading, etc.). LWBC 01-20-08

  25. 3. Appraisal of the Event: • The person determines whether or not the event relates to a goal. • The value of the goal will directly affect the strength of the emotion. LWBC 01-20-08

  26. Filtering the Appraisal: • The status of the person’s body (sleepy, alert, etc.)[or background emotions] influences the intensity of his or her appraisal (e.g., very threatening our only mildly threatening). • We then Appraise the Event with a series of factors. LWBC 01-20-08

  27. The Appraisal Filters Physical Emotional Values Self Esteem Affect Cognition Self Image Behavior Script Frames LWBC 01-20-08

  28. Knowledge • In common parlance, knowledge is the possession of information. • Certain philosophers, however, choose to define these concepts in a technical way, different from their everyday use. LWBC 01-20-08

  29. Knowledge • According to philosophic jargon, Knowledge can be defined as information associated with an intentionality. • Both knowledge and information consist of true statements. • But knowledge can be considered as information that has a purpose or use. • The study of knowledge is called epistemology. LWBC 01-20-08

  30. Mood • A person's mood is the repertoire of emotions and thoughts experienced at a particular time. In normal functioning, moods are largely adaptive to external events. • An optimist and a pessimist evaluate a situation relatively favorably and unfavorably, respectively. LWBC 01-20-08

  31. Mood • This applies also to expectations. • The optimist looks at the world "through rose-tinted spectacles" wheras a pessimist will tend to concentrate on the possibility for oncoming doom. LWBC 01-20-08

  32. Frame, framing effect • A decision-frame is the decision-maker's subjective conception of the acts, outcomes and contingencies associated with a particular choice. • The frame that a decision maker adopts is controlled partly by the formulation of the problem and by the norms, habits, and personal characteristics of the decision maker. • It is often possible to frame a given decision problem in more than one way. LWBC 01-20-08

  33. Script • A script is a knowledge structure, which describes the adequate sequence of events of familiar situations, for instance the script of a restaurant situation. • Scripts combine single scenes to an integrated sequence from the point of view of the person. LWBC 01-20-08

  34. Self-concept • The self-concept consists of the self-image and the self-esteem. • The self-concept (self-identity) is the mental notion a person has about his: • physical, • psychological, and • social attributes; • as well as his: • attitudes, • beliefs and • Ideas. LWBC 01-20-08

  35. Self-esteem • In psychology, self-esteem is the person's self-image from an emotional level; circumventing reason and logic. • The maintenance of a healthy degree of self-esteem is a central task within psychotherapy, where patients often suffer from excess degrees of self-criticism, hampering their ability to function. LWBC 01-20-08

  36. Self Image • A person's self image is the mental picture, generally of a kind that is quite resistant to change, that depicts not only details that are potentially available to objective investigation by others (height, weight, hair color, nature of external genitalia, I.Q. score, is this person double-jointed, etc.), but also items that have been learned by that person about himself or herself, either from personal experience or by internalizing the judgments of others. LWBC 01-20-08

  37. Self Image • Am I skinny? Am I fat? Am I weak? Am I strong? Am I intelligent? Am I stupid? Am I a good person? Am I a bad person? Am I a male? Am I a female? • Self-concept may be defined as the totality of a complex, organized, and dynamic system of learned beliefs, attitudes and opinions that each person holds to be true about his or her personal existence. • Self-verification: The process of seeking out and interpreting situations so as to confirm one's self-concept. LWBC 01-20-08

  38. Attitude • An attitude is "a psychological tendency that is expressed by evaluating a particular entity with some degree of favor or disfavor" (Eagly & Chaiken, 1993, p. 1). • According to the tri-component model, an attitude includes affect (a feeling), cognition (a thought), and behavior (an action). LWBC 01-20-08

  39. Attitude • Component Characteristics Examples: • Affect: Emotional reactions"I like ..."; -or- ".... makes me angry“ • Cognition: Internalized mental representations, beliefs, thoughts; "My co-workers should ..."; -or- "If .... then ....“ • Behavior: The tendency to respond or overtly act in a particular way toward the attitude object; "I always do ...."; -or- ".... makes me angry" LWBC 01-20-08

  40. Attribution • The process by which people use information to make inferences about the causes of behavior or events. LWBC 01-20-08

  41. Belief • An estimate of the probability that something is true. • Belief in the psychological sense, is a representational mental state that takes the form of a propositional attitude. • Belief is considered propositional in that it is an assertion, claim or expectation about reality that is presumed to be either true or false (even if this cannot be practically determined, such as a belief in the existence of a particular deity). • Historically, philosophical attempts to analyze the nature of belief have been couched in terms of judgement. LWBC 01-20-08

  42. Values • Enduring beliefs about important life goals that transcend specific situations. LWBC 01-20-08

  50. Appraisal results in “Representation” • People often appraise an Event (about a person, an object, or a situation) selectively, focusing on some features while disregarding others. • They interpret the features in terms of previously acquired concepts and knowledge. • Moreover, they often infer characteristics of the event that were not actually mentioned in the information, and construe relations among these characteristics that were not specified ("going beyond the information given", Bruner, 1957b).
