People who witness crimes involving weapons tend to remember less about the perpetrator and context of the crime than those who witness crimes involving no weapons. This weapon focus has been theorised to be due to either the emotional associations of weapons or the novelty of weapons.
How is emotional meaning constructed through communication?
Is everyone upset about someone making jokes about someone else's race, disability or and nationality, or age, or sexual orientation, religious belief, gender?
Candace Pert made a breakthrough discovery that changed the way scientists understand the mind-body connection. She found the opiate receptor, the mechanism by which a class of chemicals (peptides) alters the mind and body. Her research led her to an understanding of the way emotions function as a regulatory system in the body.
Because of her work on emotions, Dr. Pert was featured in the film, What the Bleep Do We Know, and frequently speaks on the role of emotions in the mind-body. Pert's work helped shift the paradigm from "emotions as neuroscience" to "emotions as biology." In her new book, Everything You Need to Know to Feel Good, she's taking the science of feeling a step further to present "emotions as physics."
Emotions, Pert explains, are not simply chemicals in the brain. They are electrochemical signals that affect the chemistry and electricity of every cell in the body. The body's electrical state is modulated by emotions, changing the world within the body. In turn, Pert finds emotional states affect the world outside the body.
