The idea
An emotion is a temporary affective state that shapes physiology, facial expression and motivation; a mood is a longer-lasting disposition.
In practice
Moods placed on two dimensions: arousal and pleasure, excited when both are high, lethargic when both are low.
Where people slip
Brazelton described six states of arousal in newborns, from deep sleep to active alertness.
