In a nutshell, it can be explained like this: When a sensory stimulus reaches the corresponding sensory organ, it is transmitted via electrical signals to the brain, where it is linked to our experiences and memories and interpreted. This interpretation then triggers a reaction - for example, the feeling of an emotion. The positive basic emotions, from which further, more complex emotions can emerge, include Joy, curiosity and surprise. In advertising psychology, it is these feelings in particular that should be aroused in potential customers - because: A good feeling creates loyalty, strengthens trust, promotes interest and willingness to buy.
