Ideas and Realities of Emotion

US$ 42.50 (+ tax)
Emotion is something we all talk about in everyday conversations, and studies make an implicit assumption that emotions are "out there" or "in there", somewhere in psychological reality waiting to be isolated and dissected. Brian Parkinson looks at emotion in encounters between people, expressed in gesture and movement, talk and silence. He presents a clear and concise overview of state-of-the-art research into emotion focusing on cognitive appraisal, bodily changes, action tendencies and expressive displays.

Ideas and Realities of Emotion challenges the idea of emotion as an individual intrapsychic phenomenon, and formulates a new and distinctive conceptual framework based on the idea of emotion as interpersonal communication, a social practice influenced by culture and language. The book will prove invaluable to all those approaching emotion from a social psychological perspective, whether at advanced undergraduate or graduate level. </p
