The processes by which different emotions are elicited has received less attention  the implicit assumption being that certain emotions arise automatically in response to certain types of events or situations. Such an assumption is incompatible with data showing that similar situations can provoke a range of emotions in different individuals  or even the same individual at different times. Appraisal theory  first suggested by Magda Arnold and Richard Lazarus  was formulated to address this shortcoming in our understanding of emotion. The central tenet of appraisal theory is that emotions are elicited according to an individuals subjective interpretation or evaluation of important events or situations. Appraisal research focuses on identifying the evaluative dimensions or criteria that predict which emotion will be elicited in an individual  as well as linking the appraisal process with the production of emotional responses. This book represents the first full-scale summary of the current state of appraisal research. Separate sections cover the history of apraisal theory and its fundamental ideas  the views of some of the major theorists currently active in the field  theoretical and methodological problems with the appraisal approach including suggestions for their resolution  social  cultural and individual differences and the application of appraisal theory to understanding and treating emotional pathology  and the methodology used in appraisal research including measuring and analyzing self-report  physiological  facial  and vocal indicators of appraisal  and simulating appraisal processes via computational models. Intended for advanced students and researchers in emotion psychology  it provides an authoritative assessment and critique of the current state of the art in appraisal research.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45651856523317,"sku":"ByrdShop_0195130073","price":89.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780195130072.jpg?v=1781842362","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/appraisal-processes-in-emotion-theory-methods-research-series-in-affective-science-9780195130072","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
