Emotion is much deeper and more pronounced than simple feelings associated with ‘drives’ since it involves environment, training and temperament, among other factors. Three responses occur with emotion: some physical or organic change, accompanied by an impulse to do something active about the situation, and a feeling which hastens the process of action. A person’s temperament is recognisable from the way he or she controls emotions, moods and outbursts, and by his or her general emotional maturity.
