The study of emotion has advanced considerably since early theoretical investigations into its nature. Developments within different fields of psychology (clinical, social, developmental) point to the importance of research on the nature and function of emotion. The aim of the EMOTION course is to deepen your understanding of this area of psychological research and theorizing.
The course will: a) explore cognitive, behavioral (display), and social, theories emotion, b) examine recent approaches, that have stressed the interpersonal nature and the social informants of emotional processes. The module aims ultimately to demonstrate the close connection between intrapersonal, interpersonal and cultural facets of emotion.
