Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The common dimensional model of emotion has emphasized that emotional information is generally processed from two dimensions: valence (from negative to positive) and arousal (from low to high). Recently, several theories have proposed that emotions also vary along a sociality dimension, ranging from non-social emotions (i.e., basic biological drives) to social emotions (i.e., complex social interactions). Specifically, non-social emotions (e.g., fear) are derived from incentives or aversive emotions that have direct physiological relevance, whereas social emotions (e.g., guilt) are elicited within the context of social information processing or social cognition. Multiple empirical studies have investigated the processing of non-social emotions and the influences of these emotions on other cognitive processes. However, questions regarding social emotion processes and their influences are still open. For example, little is known about psychological and neural mechanisms underlying different social emotions processes (e.g., guilt, shame, love, envy and pride), the development and individual differences of social emotions, or the influences of social emotions on social behaviors and decision-making. Therefore, this Research Topic aims to gain a deeper understanding of how different social emotions are processed among different populations and how these social emotions influence other cognitive processes. We aim to have a collection of studies which extend the theoretical, technical and empirical knowledge about psychological and neural mechanisms underlying social emotions processes as well as the influences of these processes on other cognitive processes, in particular on social decision making. We encourage studies from different domains (e.g., emotion, behavioural economics and decision making), implemented by different techniques (e.g., behaviour, electrophysiology, neuroimaging and brain stimulations), among different populations (e.g., healthy adults, children and elderly, persons with psychological traits and personalities, and psychiatric patients).

Download or read book Emotions and their influence on our personal, interpersonal and social experiences written by Ami Rokach and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-10-19 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research indicates that each emotion is associated with cognitive appraisals that influence our decision-making, our behavior and our relationships. Positive emotions may enhance our point of view and affect our decision to execute what we meant to. Negative emotions are known to not only affect the manner in which we view the world, but our plans, our willingness to interact with others, and our choices, both behaviorally, and cognitively. Emotions are also known to affect us physically. Positive emotions support our immune system, are responsible for our health enhancing behavior, and allow us to be open to our social support network. Negative emotions are known to hamper our immune system and thus make us more prone to illnesses, sometimes life threatening ones, and interfere with successfully coping with them. This book focuses on the role of emotions in everyday life, and particularly, the destructive effects of negative emotions such as anger, anxiety, depression, and the fear of death that humans share. The articles in this book were originally published in the Journal of Psychology: Interdisciplinary and Applied.

Download or read book Expectancy and Emotion written by Maria Miceli and published by Oxford University Press (UK). This book was released on 2015 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mind is a powerful anticipatory device. It frequently makes predictions about the future, telling us not only how the world might or will be, but also how it should be - or better - how we would like it to be. This book explores anticipation-based emotions - the emotions associated with the interaction between 'what is' and 'what is not (yet)'.

Download or read book Emotions and Social Relations written by Ian Burkitt and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2014-03-10 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A thoughtful, scholarly yet accessible account of emotion that speaks to current debates associated with the ‘affective turn’ in disciplines including sociology, cultural studies, geography and psychology... invaluable for anyone wanting to understand contemporary engagements with affect, emotion and feeling." - John Cromby, Loughborough University "A lucid, engaging, and thoroughly insightful review of current social scientific thinking on emotions in social life by a leading scholar in the field... The book is sure to become essential reading for both students and researchers interested in emotion" - Jason Hughes, University of Leicester "A masterful exposition of the links between emotions and social relations... Empirically rich and theoretically deep, this is a highly readable book. - Svend Brinkmann, University of Aalborg This book is a compelling and timely addition to the study of emotions, arguing that emotion is a response to the way in which people are embedded in patterns of relationship, both to others and to significant social and political events or situations. Going beyond the traditional discursive understanding of emotions, Burkitt investigates emotions as a complex and dynamic phenomenon that includes the whole self, body and mind, but which always occur in relation to others.
