How does the way a person experiences emotion impact the way one navigates them?

Asked by liminal (7769points) April 24th, 2010

I am reading through the article How Many Emotions Are There? Wedding the Social and the Autonomic Components. The article argues that there are primary and secondary emotions. It further discusses that the integration of primary and secondary emotions gives us insight into the relationship between the socialized and the physiological positions in emotion.

As I consider the complexity of emotion and wonder about how many emotions there are, I also ponder the ways people experience and navigate them. In particular, does one’s way of experiencing them impact the way one deals with them?

For example, some people experience one emotion at a time. It seems people ‘do emotions’ in all sorts of ways.

Considering this information what ways do people use to navigate emotion?
