Cognition and Emotion: from Order to Disorder [Book Review] Downloaded by [New York University] at 13:13 12 August 2016 COGNITION AND EMOTION This fully updated edition of the highly praised Cognition and Emotion provides a comprehensive overview of contemporary research and traditional philosophical perspectives on both normal emotional experience and emotional disorders. Uniquely, this book integrates two areas which are often treated separately: the main theories of normal emotions and theories of emotional disorders (e.g. depression, post-traumatic stress disorder and phobias). It draws these strands together with a theoretical framework which can be applied to both normal and disordered emotions. The authors also provide a comprehensive review of the literature on cognition and emotion, including coverage of the historical background and philosophy of emotion, and research on the five basic emotions of fear, anger, sadness, disgust and happiness. Cognition and Emotion provides a novel approach with a range of implications for clinical practice. It will be essential reading for undergraduate and postgraduate courses on emotion.

book, the area of emotion in general and affective neuroscience in particular has expanded rapidly and deservedly. However, there is always a risk that an area does move on, and that ones treasured views and theories have to be abandoned or substantially altered because of progress in relevant fields. It was with some trepidation therefore that we approached the writing of the third edition: would the basic emotions approach around which we had built our SPAARS framework for emotion need to be revised? Would more recent developments in multi-level modelling of emotion require substantial changes to the processes outlined for SPAARS? Would the findings from cognitive neuroscience or anthropology or clinical interventions lead us to go back to the drawing board? As we went through the more recent literature, it became clear that some of the debates that we had assumed were done-and- dusted had in fact been refreshed from new work both in philosophy and in neuroscience, and that Plato and the modern “feeling theorists” were making a strong comeback. In our embracing of the basic emotions approach, we had also underplayed the importance of dimensional aspects of emotions, when in fact we Downloaded by [New York University] at 13:13 12 August 2016 believe that, like wave and particle physics, both approaches are necessary to describe the emotion system fully. However, we still firmly believe that a focus on basic emotions offers new insights and understandings into the emotional disorders. Therefore we have retained the structure of the first edition in which the second part of the book examines the five basic emotions of fear, sadness, anger, disgust, and happiness and their related disorders on a chapter-by-chapter basis.

  • Historical Thinking As a Tool for Theoretical Psychology on Objectivity Thomas Teo
    Part II Historical Approaches 9 Historical Thinking as a Tool for Theoretical Psychology On Objectivity Thomas Teo In this chapter, I discuss the relevance of historical thinking for theoretical and philosophical psychology. In particular, I am interested in how historical thought styles (Fleck 1979) can be used as tools for theoretical psychology. In the follow­ ing reconstructions, five approaches of historical thinking that contribute to an understanding of psychological problems are discussed: history of science, history of the present, history as reconstruction, history of the politics of difference, and historical psychology. I use the concept of objectivity as an example to demonstrate the relevance of these approaches to theoretical psychology. It should be mentioned that the relationship between the history of psychology, which may incorporate some of the above‐mentioned thought styles, and the theory of psychology, is a complicated one (Teo 2013). The term historical thinking encompasses more approaches than the subdiscipline of the history of psychology. I suggest that temporality and professional histories are not sufficient to theoretical thinking in psychology and that professional history, as important as it is, is only one element in the discussion of temporality. Rather, I recommend that theoretical psychologists should include various historical thought styles in their endeavors as they were developed by historians as well as philosophers, social scientists, and psychologists, many of whom have engaged in critical approaches to the problem. History of Science Histories of science are sometimes presented by trained historians, but also by scientists‐turned‐historians. In this thought style, history has primacy but there are often theoretical implications that have major consequences for various The Wiley Handbook of Theoretical and Philosophical Psychology: Methods, Approaches, and New Directions for Social Sciences, First Edition.

This study aims to investigate the relationship between coping mechanisms, dysfunctional negative emotions, and Internet use. A total of 54 participants aged between 14 and 19 years old completed a questionnaire containing several measures and demographics information. We measured participants’ coping strategies, emotional distress, social and emotional loneliness, and their online behavior and Internet addiction using self-report questionnaires. In order to identify the relation between the investigated variables, we used correlation analysis and regression, and we tested one mediation model. The results showed that maladaptive coping strategies and Internet use were significant predictors of dysfunctional negative emotions. Moreover, passive wishful thinking, as a pattern of thinking, was Citation: Costescu, C.; Chelba, I.; associated with anxious and depressed feelings.

Offenhauser Advisor: Jaine Strauss, Department of Psychology Submitted 23 April 2021 CAN SELF-COMPASSION IMPACT LONELINESS? 2 Abstract Loneliness is an increasingly widespread concern for many individuals, especially college students and young adults, and has been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Loneliness can negatively impact health and well-being; however, many interventions are not successful in reducing loneliness. One possible intervention may be a resilience practice. Namely, self-compassion may reduce feelings of loneliness because it provides a way to connect with oneself and support well-being. This study aimed to examine the impact of a self-compassion intervention on feelings of loneliness and well-being in college students. It utilized a self-compassion writing intervention compared to a control self-affirmation writing intervention and examined both state or momentary feelings, as well as general or long-term feelings.

This paper is posted at ScholarlyCommons. https://repository.upenn.edu/ircs_reports/23 For more information, please contact [email protected]. Psychology Old and New Abstract Psychology as the study of mind was an established subject matter throughout the nineteenth century in Britain, Germany, France, and the United States, taught in colleges and universities and made the subject of books and treatises. During the period 1870-1914 this existing discipline of psychology was being transformed into a new, experimental science, especially in Germany and the United States. The increase in experimentation changed the body of psychological writing, although there remained considerable continuity in theoretical content and non-experimental methodology between the old and new psychologies. This paper follows the emergence of the new psychology out of the old in the national traditions of Britain (primarily England), Germany, and the United States, with some reference to French, Belgian, Austrian, and Italian thinkers. The final section considers some methodological and philosophical issues in these literatures.

Western Michigan University, 1984 Loneliness is a common problem that occurs at various life stages, but is most intense for college students. To clarify and operationalize the concepts of loneliness, several current sociological and psychological approaches to loneliness were critically examined. The major purposes of this study were to identify the lonely among the student population, the types of lone­ liness they experience, the behavioral manifestations of that loneliness, and the effectiveness of an intervention method.
