Psychology of Emotion reviews both theory and methods in emotion science, exploring findings about the brain; the function, expression, and regulation of emotion; similarities and differences due to gender and culture; the relationship between emotion and cognition; and emotion processes in groups. With a focus on emotion in the typically developing individual, the text's main themes include conscious and unconscious processes; the ways in which emotions arise in, and are constrained by, social situations and social processes; the regulation and sharing of emotion and their effects on mental health; and the manner in which culture (including subculture) shapes or moderates some of these processes. A defining assumption of the book, distinguishing it from much of its competition, is that both biology and social situation are important forces in the experience of emotion.Key features of the third edition include:Emphasis on cutting-edge research and insights from contemporary affective scienceDevelopmental Details sections, offering in-depth exploration of chapter themes within crucial stages of the human lifespanKey concepts highlighted with bolded vocabulary and integrated Learning Links, providing clear, illustrative connections to each chapter's core topicsComprehensive in its scope yet eminently readable, Psychology of Emotion serves as an ideal introduction for undergraduate students to the scientific study of emotion.

As the 66th volume in the prestigious Nebraska Series on Motivation, this book focuses on understanding emotion and motivation as two factors that not only influence social and cognitive processes, but also shape the way we navigate our social world. Research on emotion has increased significantly over the past two decades, pulling from scholarship in psychology, neuroscience, medicine, political science, sociology, and even computer science. This volume is informed by the growing momentum in the resulting interdisciplinary field of affective science, and examines the role of emotion and motivation in our perceptions, decision-making, and social interactions, and attempts to understand the neurobiological mechanisms that support these processes across the lifespan in both healthy and clinical populations. Included among the chapters:Emotion concept development from childhood to adulthoodEvolving psychological and neural models for the regulation of emotionPathways to motivational impairments in psychopathologyA valuation systems perspective on motivationReproducible, generalizable brain models of affective processesEmotion in the Mind and Body is a comprehensive and compelling rendering of the current state of the interdisciplinary field of affective science, and will be of interest to researchers and students working in psychology and neuroscience, as well as medicine, political science, and sociology.
