This chapter analyses the Imagines of Philostratos, which are underpinned by a desire to teach readers how to view art and how to speak about viewing images. An important aspect of this is teaching what those who feel (among other things) pleasure and pain might look like. This interest in pleasure and pain is reflected in a number of important tableaux in which Philostratos presents images of physical trauma and violation. In these instances, Philostratos explores the relationship between pain and trauma, showing how it is influenced by, and helps to mould, the individual’s emotional context, the physical beauty of the protagonists, and the reader’s pleasure at the image.

This study aims to examine the relationship between representament and object iconicity in Wardah's cosmetic commercial television commercials, which include shampoo, BB cream, mascara, lipstick, and social activities. Wardah cosmetic commercial television commercials attempt to construct consumers using the concept of “Beauty from the heart”. Meanwhile, the beauty of cosmetic users is always visible physically. Thus, it cannot be proven to be real beauty from the heart when someone uses cosmetics. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method to analyze data in the form of verbal and nonverbal text. The researcher uses Charles Sander Peirce's semiotic theory which divides the signs according to the relationship between the representament (sign) and its object (marker) into icons, indexes, and symbols. The results of this study indicate that beauty can be classified into two categories, namely physical beauty and psychological beauty. Physical beauty relates to the body and the head. There are four parts of the head which are icons of beauty for a young woman: 1) the hair, 2) the facial skin, 3) the eyes, and 4) the lips. Meanwhile, psychological beauty is a beauty from the heart that is manifested in the form of attitudes during social activities. In addition, young women as users of Wardah cosmetics are represented by the use of youthful vocabulary and language typical of the millennial generation.

We examine a case of homophobic language online, specifically the deployment of the phrase “no homo,” shorthand for “I’m not a homosexual.” An analysis of 396 instances (comprising 1061 individual tweets) of the use of the phrase “no homo” on the social media platform Twitter suggests that the phrase is a gendered epithet that conveys cultural norms about masculinity. The first finding is that the phrase is used more often by male tweeters than by female tweeters. The second, as predicted by the literature on homophobia, is that the phrase is used in a negative emotional context to convey disapproval for men’s homosexuality or behavior that is not gender normative. The third finding is that the modal use of the phrase “no homo” is in a positive emotional context, accompanying expressions of men’s pleasure, desire, affection, attachment, and friendship. Our analysis suggests that the phrase “no homo” is a gendered one, primarily used by men to facilitate a particularly masculinized construction of positive emotional expression. Our research adds to and complicates findings on the relationship between homophobia and masculinity that suggests that homophobia is an organizing principal of masculinity in western cultures.

The study of pedophilic episodes in later life shows how acting out in a particular emotional context can help the offender to reorganize his life. After reviewing 36 cases referred to the McGill Clinic in Forensic Psychiatry between 1980–1989, a previous history of offender victimization was found in 12 cases. Careful analysis of all the cases showed reactivation of conflict in their family of procreation in 34 cases. Various psychodynamic hypotheses are suggested through the longitudinal history of the perpetrator and the nature of the relationship between victim and perpetrator. Analysis of a longitudinal follow-up in 26 cases suggests that through various mechanisms of organization, disorganization and reorganization, the pedophilic episode represented an opportunity for these middle-aged and senescent pedophiles to resolve some issues underlying their pedophilic interests, leading to a higher level of maturity, thereby preventing relapse of pedophilic episodes.

ABSTRACTObjective: to understand how the individuals have experienced a situation of trauma. Method: the type of study was inserted in the qualitative investigation in the extent of the descriptive phenomenology. The data collection was done by using a semi-structured interview. Results: after the analysis of the interviews three domains were noticed: Types of Trauma; Social/Emotional Experiences and Social/Relationship Experiences. In relation to the first domain in the category of trauma all the interviewed individuals had gone through a physical trauma. On the second domain three categories were pointed out: Background; Primary; and Secondary emotions, related to the feelings and emotions charted by Damásio, in which anxiety, despair, fear and guilt were the most evidenced. Concerning the last domain there are two categories related to the assistance and the relationship with the health care professional in the emergency service. Conclusion: the trauma is understood as an unexpected process, in which experiences cannot be known in their real dimensions. Becoming aware of the influence that the feelings and emotions play in the actions we take, and in the choices we make, lead us to think about how we live emotions, the importance we attach to them and the importance they have in the nursing care. Descriptors: events that change our lives; wounds and injuries; emotions. RESUMOObjetivo: compreender como os indivíduos vivenciaram a experiência de uma situação de trauma. Método: o tipo de estudo inseriu-se na investigação qualitativa no âmbito da fenomenologia descritiva. A recolha de dados foi efectuada recorrendo a entrevista semiestruturada. Resultados: feita a análise das entrevistas emergiram três domínios: Tipo de trauma; Vivências sócio/emocionais e Vivencias sócio/relacionais. Relativamente ao primeiro domínio na categoria de trauma todos os entrevistados foram sujeitos a um trauma físico. No segundo domínio emergiram três categorias: Emoções de fundo; Primárias; e Secundárias relacionadas com os sentimentos e emoções cartografados por Damásio, em que os mais evidenciados foram a ansiedade, desespero, medo e culpa. No último domínio surgem duas categorias relacionadas com o atendimento e a relação com os profissionais no serviço de urgência. Conclusão: o trauma é percebido como um processo inesperado, cujas vivências não podem ser conhecidas na sua real dimensão. Tomar consciência da influência que os sentimentos e as emoções exercem nas ações que praticamos, e nas escolhas faz-nos pensar como vivemos as emoções, que importância lhe atribuímos e a importância que as mesmas assumem nos cuidados de enfermagem. Descritores: acontecimentos que mudam a vida; ferimentos e lesões; emoções. RESUMEN Objetivo: comprender cómo los individuos vivieron la experiencia de una situación de trauma.

Abstract.The main models of emotional intelligence (IE) were design primarily for adults, not for children. For this reason, many aspects of the EI rarely studied in preschoolers. Thus, this study aims to analyze the emotional understanding (CE), a complex construct, considered a key component of IE in young children and that includes various skills, including the differentiating one’s emotions and understand the emotions of others based in facial expressions and characteristics of situations of emotional context. Our goal is to analyze the relationship between emotional understanding and peer relations. The sample consisted of 210 children between 3 and 6 years of age, which were administered the Test of Emotion Comprehension (TEC, Pons et al., 2004, translated to Portuguese by Roazzi et al. 2008) and a sociometric test. The results confirm that, increasing the age increases the level of CE and emotional understanding may influence peer relationships.Keywords: emotional intelligence, emotional understanding, peer relationship, sociometric analysis.Resumen.Los principales modelos de inteligencia emocional (IE) fueron diseñados, principalmente, para el pensamiento adulto, no para niños. Por esta razón, muchos aspectos de la IE raramente han sido estudiando en niños en edad preescolar. Así, este estudio tiene como objetivo analizar la comprensión emocional, un constructo complejo, considerado componente clave de la IE en niños pequeños y que engloba varias habilidades, entre ellas, la de diferenciar las emociones propias y la de comprender las emociones de los otros basándose en las expresiones faciales y en las características de las situaciones de contexto emocional. Nuestro objetivo es analizar la relación entre la comprensión emocional y las relaciones entre pares. La muestra estuvo constituida por 210 niños y niñas entre los 3 y 6 años de edad, a los cuales se les administro el Test of Emotion Comprehension (TEC, de Pons et al., 2004, traducida para el portugués por Roazzi et al., 2008) y una prueba sociométrica. Los resultados confirman que, con el aumento de la edad aumenta el nivel de CE y que la comprensión emocional puede influenciar las relaciones con los pares.Palabras clave: inteligencia emocional, comprensión emocional, relación entre pares, análisis sociométrico.

Threat-related arousal is known to distort memory, biasing individuals towards perceptual details and away from contextual details. This work has mainly been conducted in laboratory settings, limiting the application of findings to real-world experiences. To test how threat-related arousal influences multi-featural memory for complex events, participants navigated an immersive haunted house while physiological arousal data was collected and later, recalled memories for the event after a 1-week delay. We found that threat-related arousal resulted in relatively fewer remembered events, but enhanced recall of perceptual details for events that were remembered. Further, the relationship between physiological arousal and perceptual bias was impaired in individuals with high intolerance of uncertainty, suggesting that uncertainty aversion may result in a generalization of threat-related perceptual biases to mundane events. These findings support a model by which heart rate and individual differences in uncertainty aversion interact to shape how threatening events are recorded in long-term memory.

AbstractPreliminary evidence concerning emotional intelligence (EI) and working memory (WM) showed that the relationship between them is dependent on the emotional content (‘hot’ or ‘cool’) of tasks involving WM. In this paper, we continue investigating the relationship between EI and WM, focusing on a crucial function of WM, i.e., the efficacy of updating its content. WM updating shows substantial correlations with general fluid intelligence (gF) and seems to be a significant predictor of cognitive performance and achievement. We assume that if updating is important for a wide range of higher-order processes, updating emotional content in WM could be essential for emotionally intelligent behavior. To test this hypothesis, we constructed two parallel versions of a task that requires WM updating: one with neutral and the other with emotional stimuli. In addition, performance-based measures of both gF and EI were used in the research. Using the structural equation approach, we sought to demonstrate that gF is dependent on the efficiency of WM updating for both emotional and neutral stimuli, whereas EI might depend only on the updating efficacy in the emotional context. The results are discussed in terms of the domain specificity of EI and the domain generality of gF. The main constraint of the study is its limited sample size (n = 123 for intelligence measures, n = 69 for WM updating tasks). Moreover, the study was based on a female sample; thus, the conclusions can be extrapolated only to women.
