Classes of Emotion Theory

There are five (5) classes of emotion theory:
1. Adaptive Responses - emotions which are adaptive responses with their specific mental states;

2. Response Feedback - emotions are mental states produced by bodily response states;

3. Neural Systems - emotions are behaviours and mental states due to specific neural systems;

4. Cognitive Appraisal - emotions are mental states that give rise to appropriate behaviours;

5. Frustration and Conflicts - emotions are thwarted aroused actions states in CNS and body.
