5. Emotion of police<br />
According to Gerrig and<br />
Zimbardo, emotion is “a<br />
complex pattern of changes, including<br />
physiological arousal, feelings, cognitive<br />
processes, and behavioral reactions, made<br />
in response to a situation perceived to<br />
be personally significant.” (2002).<br />
1. Contemporary Model of Emotion<br />
By definition, it is no doubt that police will have different<br />
emotions, especially behavioral reactions, from normal<br />
citizen. It is meaningful to figure out the differences and<br />
why the the differences exist. According to Coon and<br />
Mitterer, emotion appraisal, or cognitive appraisal,<br />
means “evaluating the personal meaning of a stimulus or<br />
situation” (2011). And Lazarus, a psychologist who<br />
stressed the emotion appraisal is important, had<br />
suggested a model of emotion called Contemporary<br />
Model of Emotion by using the above concept as the core<br />
of it. The model suggested that any emotional stimulus or<br />
situation we met will be evaluated by our own mind<br />
firstly, and then we will have relevant bodily arousal,<br />
behavioral respond, emotional expression and emotional<br />
feelings according to the appraisal we made.<br />
