Еволюція, емоції та розум: Емоції, частина I

Lecture 11 of the Yale University course "Introduction to Psychology" with Paul Bloom 💰 Choose a way to support the Khmarynka Science project: https://uadd.me/KHMARYNKA In this lecture from the course "Introduction to Psychology", Paul Bloom explains what emotions are from a scientific point of view and why they are the result of evolution, and not an "obstacle to reason". The lecturer considers how emotions shape our goals, decisions and behavior, why rationality is impossible without them and how they helped our ancestors survive. Paul Bloom shows that many of our reactions - from fear of snakes and spiders to love for children - have evolutionary roots. You will learn why we are afraid of some things and almost not afraid of others, how universal emotions work, and what they have in common with animal behavior. Special attention is paid to facial expressions and smiles: what is a Duchenne smile, how to distinguish a sincere emotion from a social signal, and why a smile is universal for people across cultures. The lecture also touches on the topics of altruism, the “selfish gene,” and how evolution explains kindness and caring for loved ones. Through vivid examples from neuropsychology and behavioral research, Paul Bloom demonstrates: emotions are not a weakness, but a complex mechanism formed by evolution. 00:00 — Introduction.
