Definition(s)
- Arousal is a central concept in the analysis of moods and emotions, regardless of whether these experiences occur in actual social situations or are elicited by veridical or fictional media presentations. Although the conceptualizations of arousal show marked differences, some form of physical excitedness is consistently invoked as the primary determinant of the intensity of emotional experience and behavior.
