As Wierzbicka (1992) observes, emotion terms are semantically diverse and cannot be neatly matched with concepts in other languages or cultures.
800 ms is probably close to the minimum time lag for observing emotion induced hypervision, and these effects may intensify at greater delays.
These data converge with the research of Bocanegra and Zeelenberg [2], who observed emotion-induced blindness in response to emotional words at short and intermediate ISIs, but emotion-induced "hypervision" (enhanced performance) with a longer (1000 ms) ISIs.
It has been hypothesized previously that merely observing emotions in others automatically activates associated representations of the emotional state in the observer.
No one in "Jerichow" is entirely deserving of sympathy, which gives the film a detached, clinical feeling underlined by the director's habit of observing emotions rather than evoking them.
Next time you feel fear, try to observe the emotion as it arises in your body -- where can you feel it?

Mark Williams from Oxford University recommends learning to observe painful emotions with "friendly curiosity". This requires allowing ourselves to sit with the less pleasant emotions without numbing, downplaying or over-identifying with them.
As a result, you now observe your emotions from a distance rather than experiencing them first hand; something that simultaneously makes you seem bored and a little bit smug. 1 You posted a video of yourself doing the ice-bucket challenge for the Motor Neurone Disease Association, prefixed by a moving speech.
The first step to becoming more emotionally intelligent is to observe your emotions as they appear, in the situations and conversations when they are triggered, and to then label them.
Remember to observe whatever emotions arise, and to treat yourself with loving compassion too.
