TEMPERAMENT•Associated with your personality•Something you are born with or acquire young and seldom change

TEMPERAMENT

• Some people have a sunny disposition whilst others are always nervous or irritable, thus, it lasts for the duration• Example: In a contest, one child is very

excited to perform his musical piece, while another child is crying and dreading to play on the stage.

TEMPERAMENT

•A lifetime platform on which moods and emotions occur.• If your temperament is negative, being happy may seem better to you, but yet it may be lower than the everyday median of a naturally optimistic person.

TEMPERAMENT

Example: a certain person is naturally pessimistic – he hates life and everything. One event made him smile. But it was not a level of happiness wherein he became positive.

TEMPERAMENT

•Often vague, diffuse emotions, which may be contrasted with more distinct mood and very specific emotions.•Can be based on beliefs which does hold hope.

MOODS

•Shorter emotional states, typically lasting hours, although they can last for days or longer. • Example: You may wake up feeling

a bit down and stay that way for most of the day.

MOODS

MOODS

•We may also just fall into a mood.•We can be sent into a mood by an unexpected event, from the:

1. Happiness of seeing an old friend.

2. Anger of discovering betrayal by partner.

MOODS

•Medical conditions such as depression are not really moods and are typically caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain.• Can be caused by shorter-term chemical

imbalances. • Example: Brought on by a poor diet

EMOTIONS• Tend to last for much shorter periods

• Example: The delight at being given a birthday present may subside in minutes as it is replaced by disappointment about a useless gift.

Disappointed after seeing her present

EMOTIONS

Thus, these tend to replace one another and it can be difficult to be both happy and sad (although we may have a good-go about it).

EMOTIONS

• Tend to be more extreme than moods, and temperament, higher highs and lower lows.• Example: we were overjoyed when we

heard our name as the champion.• I was left downhearted when I visited the

funeral.

Sad people at a funeral

Happy cheerleaders after they won the contest

EMOTIONS

• We can become very angry quickly, though it is difficult to stay very angry and it may subside into and irritable mood or be replaced by another completely different emotions. • Example: I was furious when I heard you got kicked

out of school. I realized that I was just annoyed that you didn’t try your best at school, and finally accepted what had happened.

Furious father after hearing his son’s kicking out of school.

EMOTIONS

• Tend to be very specific, triggered by noticeable events and are immediate reactions to these drive us to particular actions,

1. Running away from a snarling dog2. Going to chat up an attractive

person.
