Biography Feeling
Feeling in psychology is usually reserved for the conscious subjective experience of emotion.VandenBos, Gary (2006) APA Dictionary of Psychology. Washington, DC: American Psychological Association As such, it is inherently beyond the reach of scientific method. Phenomenology and heterophenomenology are philosophical approaches that provide some basis for knowledge of feelings. Many schools of psychotherapy depend on the therapist achieving some kind of understanding of the client's feelings, for which methodologies exist. Some theories of interpersonal relationships also have a role for shared feelings or understanding of another person's feelings.
Perception of the physical world does not necessarily result in a universal reaction among receivers (see emotions), but varies depending on one?s tendency to handle the situation, how the situation relates to the receiver's past experiences, and any number of other factors (see further http://www.feelingdictionary.com). Feelings are also known as a state of consciousness, such as that resulting from emotions, sentiments or desires.
Gut feeling
A gut feeling or gut reaction is a visceral emotional reaction to something, often one of disgust. Gut feelings are generally regarded as unmodulated by conscious thought."Gut feeling" may also be used as a short-hand term for an individual's "common sense" perception of what is morally right.
Gut feelings, like all reflexive unconscious comparisons can be re-programmed by practice or experiences.
