The Space Between: Discussion Cards

Process Model of Emotion Scenarios

How to Use:

In your group, select a card. For each scenario, identify the current "Step 4" (Response) and brainstorm a "Step 2" (Attention) or "Step 3" (Appraisal) strategy to prevent the explosion.

Card 1

The Hard Math Sheet

Leo sits down for independent math. He looks at the 20 problems, sighs heavily, and says, "I'm not doing this. This is garbage," before tearing the paper.

Step 4: Tearing paper, verbal refusal.

Card 2

The Cafeteria Look

Maya is walking to her table when she sees a group of peers whispering and looking her way. She slams her tray down and screams, "Stop talking about me!"

Step 4: Slamming tray, screaming.

Card 3

The Surprise Sub

Sam arrives at his 3rd-period class and sees a substitute teacher. He immediately turns around, kicks the door, and runs toward the exit.

Step 4: Property destruction, elopement.

Card 4

The Red Ink

Aisha receives her essay back with several red-ink comments. She doesn't read the praise at the bottom; she puts her head down and refuses to speak for the rest of the hour.

Step 4: Shutting down, withdrawal.

Card 5

The Gym Loss

Kevin's team loses a game of kickball. Kevin blames the referee, calls a teammate a "loser," and tries to start a physical altercation.

Step 4: Verbal abuse, physical aggression.

Card 6

The Positive Twist
