What this study supports
Supports the claim that the component process model treats emotion as a dynamic process driven by a sequence of appraisal checks and the synchronisation of response components. The evidence is reviewed by the model's author and is not a systematic synthesis.

TheoreticalLevel DConfidence HIGH
The component process model describes emotion as a dynamic process in which a sequence of appraisal checks drives changes in motivation, physiology and expression, with feeling and verbal labelling as later components.
- Scope
- The model's architecture as stated by its author and collaborators.
- Caveat
- Support for the proposed sequence and synchronisation of components comes largely from the model's proponents, and critics dispute that appraisal precedes and causes the other components.
