Reveiw on theories of Emotion

To give you one more presentation of the three theories on emotion, below is a lecture from another AP psych teacher, Mrs. Rice. It is short and to the point. Also attached are my notes on this unit.

Motivation in Advertising

Our current unit on emotion and motivation presents a lot of concepts that are important to advertisers in the business world. I recently came across this diagram about colors used in marketing and the message it might send about the product.

Do you think certain colors are related to certain emotions? Do you associate these feelings with the products and brands that are presented. Are there other examples of companies you like based on the colors of their logo?
