I. ORIENTAroN AND MErop| The material to be presented here was gathered during an intensive study of emotional response. We were interested primarily in the nature of the response itself, not in the situation which evokes it; and throughout the study we were in search of patterns which conform to scientific standards of precision, both in the various types of emotion considered specifically and also in emotion considered generically. Thus we were looking for consistent patterns of behavior to correspond with certain specific emotions. At the same time we were on the watch for evidence of a pattern which is common to all emotional response and concerns the interweaving of the subjective experience in emotion with behavior. Our point of departure was the concept of such a generic pattern [already described in this Journal (5) and elsewhere (4)(6)] in which a basic neuromuscular process or sequence was presented as essential to the understanding of emotion. This concept can be summarized as follows: the expression of emotion is divided into two serial phrases,(1) the motor attitude, and (2) the action. Every bodily movement requires some preliminary preparation, and this sequence (attitude–action) holds for all forms of muscular activity, even where the two phases occur in such rapid succession that no pause is discernible between them. However, it is only when a perceptible delay is interposed afer the setting-up of motor attitude that feelings of emotion enter the picture. The particular kind of action anticipated by the attitude is considered to determine the particular kind of feeling (as readiness to cry produces sad-ness, or readiness to strike produces anger.) Thus the subjective experi-ence or feeling in emotion is explained as arising from a preparatory motor attitude, maintained as readiness (or wish or intention) and held in leash pending the lifting of whatever form of interfering mechanism is holding up the final action. From this point of view, feeling is actually the feeling
