Emotion is a state of biological arousal that is described along a spectrum ranging from anxiety to depression, with a non-aroused state of euthymia. It is a complex reaction pattern, produced by some stimulus that involves experiential, behavioral, and physiological elements. [1] As a distinct, integrated psychophysiological response system, emotion is described by three distinct response systems [2], which include:

  1. a prototypic form of epression (typically facial)
  2. a pattern of consistent autonomic changes
  3. a distinct subjective feeling state
