== Components ==
According to [[Klaus Scherer|Scherer]]'s Component Process Model (CPM) of emotion,<ref name=":1">{{cite journal|vauthors=Scherer KR|s2cid=145575751|title=What are emotions? And how can they be measured?|journal=Social Science Information|year=2005|volume=44|issue=4|pages=693–727|doi=10.1177/0539018405058216}}</ref> there are five crucial elements of emotion. From the component process perspective, emotional experience requires that all of these processes become coordinated and synchronized for a short period of time, driven by appraisal processes. Although the inclusion of [[cognitive appraisal]] as one of the elements is slightly controversial, since some theorists make the assumption that emotion and [[cognition]] are separate but interacting systems, the CPM provides a sequence of events that effectively describes the coordination involved during an emotional episode.
* ''Cognitive appraisal'': provides an evaluation of events and objects.
* ''Bodily symptoms'': the [[physiology|physiological]] component of emotional experience.
* ''Action tendencies'': a [[motivation]]al component for the preparation and direction of motor responses.
* ''Expression'': [[facial expression|facial]] and [[human voice|vocal]] expression almost always accompanies an emotional state to communicate reaction and intention of actions.
* ''Feelings'': the subjective experience of emotional state once it has occurred.
