Thought-Provoking Question #5

Psychology 130
Due Thursday, July 20th

Please answer one of the following questions by July 20th:

1. Chapter Nine discusses the functions of emotions. Go to www.queendom.com/ and click on the “emotional IQ” icon to check out your own emotional intelligence. (Note that you may choose to sign up with them and may later choose to take more in-depth tests for a fee, but it’s not necessary to do that to take many of their free tests-the short version of the emotional intelligence test is free). Link to the emotional intelligence test and answer the questions, then read what they say about your emotional intelligence and the effect that can have in your life. This is a fun thing to do, but do not ever take too seriously any personality test you take on-line. However, it can offer some useful insights. While you do not need to share the specific results of your emotional intelligence, please indicate what you learned about yourself from taking the test. Did you agree or disagree with it?

2. Plutchik is a psychologist who has done a great deal of research on emotions, and through the emotion wheel, stressed that emotions can be either primary or blends. Using this model, please choose a song and analyze its emotional content as well as its emotional impact on you.
