Exploring the Strength of Association between the Components of Emotion Syndromes:The Case of Surprise
Author(s) / Creator(s)
Reisenzein, Rainer
Abstract / Description
A new experimental paradigm involving a computerised quiz was used to
examine, on an intra-individual level, the strength of association between
four components of the surprise syndrome: cognitive (degree of prospectively
estimated unexpectedness), experiential (the feeling of surprise), behavioural
(degree of response delay on a parallel task), and expressive (the facial
expression of surprise). It is argued that this paradigm, together with associated
methods of data analysis, effectively controls for most method factors
that could in previous studies have lowered the correlations among the
components of emotion syndromes. It was found that (a) the components
of the surprise syndrome were all positively correlated; (b) strong association
existed only between the cognitive and the experiential component of
surprise; (c) the coherence between syndrome components did not increase
with increasing intensity of surprise; and (d) there was also only moderate
coherence between the components of the facial expression of surprise
(eyebrow raising, eye widening, mouth opening), although in this case,
coherence tended to increase with intensity. Taken together, the findings
support only a weakly probabilistic version of a behavioural syndrome view
of surprise. However, the component correlations seem strong enough to
support the existence of strong associations among a subset of the mental
or central neurophysiological processes engaged in surprise.
