The four components of emotion are very complex or situational to say the least. When communicating with someone, it is very important to pay attention to verbal as well nonverbal communication.
Physiological factors tend to be involuntary and are things that occur when emotions are heightened. There are some that aren’t visible to others, such as increased heart rate, blood pressure and sugar levels and adrenaline. Then there are ones that could possibly be noticed by others like dilation of pupils, or a tense jaw.
Another involuntary component is Nonverbal Reactions. These are things that can be observed, such as blushing and or sweating, facial expressions, posture, gestures. However, tone of voice as well as volume are also considered to be nonverbal but aren’t as involuntary.
Then there is Cognitive Interpretation. This is the ability to interpret one’s emotions and speech by actively listening as well as observing body language to adequately communicate as well as perceive a message.
Lastly, there is Verbal Expression, the more obvious component. It is much easier to get your point across by speaking your emotions clearly. That is much easier for the person on the receiving end to know, rather than trying to gage what you’re feeling based off of trying to interpret the above. However, cultural difference plays a huge role in terms of how we use language as well as interpret.

I, unfortunately, am not a person who can easily hide their emotions and “wear my thoughts on my sleeve”. I will say that due to this there have been instance where I said one thing and was conveying another with my facial expressions. Therefore, the person I was having the conversation with didn’t believe what I was saying. The four components of emotion are very complex or situational to say the least.
