Module: Brain and Behavioural Change Programme: Neuroeffective Tools for Living, Learning and Leading - with Professor Patricia Riddell and Ian McDermott

It is easy to wonder after you have been involved in a particularly unhelpful emotional response to a situation what emotions are for, and in what way they can possibly benefit us. Emotions provide important signals about how well we are performing and so ignoring them can result in ineffective behaviour.

By learning what role emotions play and by working more effectively with these signals, we can improve our own and others’ effectiveness. Motivation is also highly dependent on emotional state.

By considering the way in which the brain uses emotions, we can investigate the link between emotion and motivation and how to use this more effectively both to motivate ourselves and others.

By the end of this module, you should:

  • Understand the role of emotion in our lives.
  • Be able to distinguish between expressed and regulated emotions and have tools available to regulate your own emotions when required.
  • Understand the benefits of a large emotional repertoire and know how to expand your own repertoire.
  • Understand the connection between emotion regulation and motivation.
  • Know the difference between approach and avoid modes of behaviour and have tools available to switch between these modes.
  • Be able to describe the brain systems involved in emotional regulation and motivation in a manner that is accessible and useful to non-experts.
