UCLA Electronic Theses and Dissertations UCLA UCLA Electronic Theses and Dissertations Title Structures of Sentiment: Mapping the Affective Bases of Social Relationships in Yasawa, Fiji Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/79d936s0 Author Gervais, Matthew M Publication Date 2013 Peer reviewed|Thesis/dissertation eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Structures of Sentiment: Mapping the Affective Bases of Social Relationships in Yasawa, Fiji A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Anthropology by Matthew Michel Gervais 2013 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Structures of Sentiment: Mapping the Affective Bases of Social Relationships in Yasawa, Fiji by Matthew Michel Gervais Doctor of Philosophy in Anthropology University of California, Los Angeles, 2013 Professor Daniel Fessler, Chair Enduring social relationships structured the emergence of human uniqueness and remain the cornerstone of human adaptation across societies. However, there is little systematic comparative data on the patterning of human relationships and the psychological mechanisms underlying their variation. The present research develops a theoretical framework for the functional organization of affect as it regulates social-relational behavior, and tests implications of this framework with quantitative data from 20 months of fieldwork in Yasawa, Fiji. Chapter 1 uses “contempt” as a case study to develop the ASE (Attitude-Scenario-Emotion) model of affect, in which attitudes, as enduring representations of the fitness affordances of other persons, adaptively moderate constellations of emotions as embodied reactions to relational events. I sketch five attitude dimensions that map onto distinct social affordances: love, like, respect, hate, and fear. ii Decomposing “contempt” in these terms, the core of this cultural model is not a basic or uniquely human emotion but an ancient attitude of no respect and its emotional consequences. This account resolves the “special case” of contempt. Chapter 2 presents a series of interviews that investigate the conceptual structure of the Yasawan affect lexicon. Results suggest that Yasawans use distinct sets of terms to refer to attitudes and emotions; the predicted set of social attitudes anchor the conceptual organization of Yasawan affect; these attitudes differentially and adaptively moderate emotions across social scenarios; and each attitude is emotionally pluripotent. Chapter 3 investigates dyadic social attitudes and relational behaviors within the male social network of one Yasawan village. I describe three relational economic games that integrate recipient identities and other-other tradeoffs while maintaining decision confidentiality. Target need and “chiefliness” drive receiving and buffer against being taken from, while target income drives being reduced at a cost. Attitudes towards targets fully mediate receipt and loss, but not suffering spiteful reduction. These games tap the egalitarian ethos of Fiji, while illuminating the roles of endogenous attitudes and impersonal inequity aversion in structuring Fijian hierarchy. Together these studies advance the comparative endeavor to describe and explain, ultimately and proximately, variation in social relationships as they structure and support human adaptation. iii The dissertation of Matthew Michel Gervais is approved.

  • 5. Emotions: Taming the Destructive and Cultivating Balance
    5. EMOTIONS: TAMING THE DESTRUCTIVE AND CULTIVATING BALANCE Chapter Overview As the title states, this chapter is about emotions, how to reduce destructive emotions and cultivate helpful emotions. To begin with we will look at what we mean by emotions and explore what we know of emotions from a contemporary scientific perspective and a traditional Buddhist perspective. The chapter will outline how mindfulness can be used to balance our emotions and short circuit dysfunctional emotions. We will explore anger, fear, sadness and happiness in detail and how mindfulness can be used to understand and balance these emotions. The chapter will conclude by offering some strategies for working with painful emotions. What are emotions? The word emotion originates from the Latin "emovere", which means to disturb. The first part of the word, "e" means “out”, and “movere” translates as “to move”. When we need to function effectively in a demanding world, emotions move us to action. There is no direct Pali equivalent for the term “emotion”. Rather emotions are understood as a combination of physical sensations, feelings (vedana), states of heart-mind (citta) and mental and physical patterns. Emotions involve complex body-mind interactions. Emotions are necessary for our personal development, survival and thriving as a human being. They save lives, motivate behaviour and help us form relationships. Balanced emotions are essential for effective communication and the welfare and wellbeing of our families and communities. Unfortunately emotions can be unbalanced, dysfunctional, painful and destructive. At times, emotions can move us to act unskilfully with dire consequences. Emotions can arise and pass relatively quickly.

  • Negative and Positive Reappraisal After a Romantic Break-Up
    Volume 8, Issue 2, pp: 9-17 Research Article (2019) Negative and Positive Reappraisal After a Romantic Break-Up Scarlett B. Hornera,b & Sandra J. E. Langeslaga This study compared negative reappraisal of an ex-partner and positive reappraisal of a situation after a break-up. Negative reappraisal was expected to reduce love, increase unpleasantness, reduce upsetness about the break-up, and reduce motivated attention to the ex-partner as measured by the late positive potential (LPP) compared to positive reappraisal. In this study, twenty- four participants who were upset about a break-up viewed pictures of their ex-partner in two reappraisal conditions and a no reappraisal condition. In the negative reappraisal condition, participants thought about negative aspects of their ex-partner. In the positive reappraisal condition, participants thought about positive aspects of the situation. Subsequently, participants viewed ex- partner pictures and the LPP was measured. Participants rated infatuation, attachment, valence, and upsetness about the break-up. Even though numerical differences were in line with our hypotheses, we found no evidence of significant differences between conditions for infatuation, attachment, valence, upsetness, or LPP amplitude in the preregistered analyses. Key words: love, reappraisal, regulation, event-related potentials (ERP), late positive potential (LPP) Anyone who has gone through a romantic break-up knows needed to increase pleasant feelings, such as positive how upsetting it can be. At its worst, heartbreak can cause reappraisal of the situation. Positive reappraisal entails insomnia, depression, and intrusive thoughts (Field, 2011). A focusing on positive aspects of a situation. In one study, break-up can also cause a loss of self-concept in some people participants were able to use positive reappraisal to increase (Mason, Law, Bryan, Portley, & Sbarra, 2012; Slotter, amusement while watching a video (Giuliani, McRae, & Gross, Gardner, & Finkel, 2010).

  • The Weirdest People in the World?
    BEHAVIORAL AND BRAIN SCIENCES (2010) 33, 61–135 doi:10.1017/S0140525X0999152X The weirdest people in the world? Joseph Henrich Department of Psychology and Department of Economics, University of British Columbia, Vancouver V6T 1Z4, Canada [email protected] http://www.psych.ubc.ca/henrich/home.html Steven J. Heine Department of Psychology, University of British Columbia, Vancouver V6T 1Z4, Canada [email protected] Ara Norenzayan Department of Psychology, University of British Columbia, Vancouver V6T 1Z4, Canada [email protected] Abstract: Behavioral scientists routinely publish broad claims about human psychology and behavior in the world’s top journals based on samples drawn entirely from Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic (WEIRD) societies. Researchers – often implicitly – assume that either there is little variation across human populations, or that these “standard subjects” are as representative of the species as any other population. Are these assumptions justified? Here, our review of the comparative database from across the behavioral sciences suggests both that there is substantial variability in experimental results across populations and that WEIRD subjects are particularly unusual compared with the rest of the species – frequent outliers. The domains reviewed include visual perception, fairness, cooperation, spatial reasoning, categorization and inferential induction, moral reasoning, reasoning styles, self-concepts and related motivations, and the heritability of IQ. The findings suggest that members of WEIRD societies, including young children, are among the least representative populations one could find for generalizing about humans. Many of these findings involve domains that are associated with fundamental aspects of psychology, motivation, and behavior – hence, there are no obvious a priori grounds for claiming that a particular behavioral phenomenon is universal based on sampling from a single subpopulation.

    Love, Sex and Lasting How to Know if You’re in Love Relationships (Part 2) Ephesians 5:1-2 Introduction – 3 kinds of love: 1. Eros Love Proverbs 5:15-19 This is need love. It is based upon physical attraction and fulfillment. This love is necessary for marriage to succeed; however, marriage cannot be sustained by eros alone. 2. Phileo Love Romans 12:9-13 This is friendship love. The Bible uses the word “companionship” several times in describing what a marriage relationship is. Phileo love means reciprocal sharing of time, activities, the home, hobbies, games, and other objects of common fellowship. 3. Agape Love 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 This is a giving love. This can be unilateral in that one loves even when the other doesn’t respond as expected. It is self-giving in meeting real needs of the other with the purpose of helping the person to become a better, more mature individual. Agape love takes the initiative and energizes the other two kinds of love.

  • The Emotional Dog and Its Rational Tail: a Social Intuitionist Approach to Moral Judgment
    The Emotional Dog and its Rational Tail: A Social Intuitionist Approach to Moral Judgment Jonathan Haidt University of Virginia October 31, 2000 This is the manuscript that was published, with only minor copy-editing alterations, as: Haidt, J. (2001). The emotional dog and its rational tail: A social intuitionist approach to moral judgment. Psychological Review. 108, 814-834 Copyright 2001, American Psychological Association To obtain a reprint of the final type-set article, please go through your library’s journal services, or contact the author directly Abstract Research on moral judgment has been dominated by rationalist models, in which moral judgment is thought to be caused by moral reasoning. Four reasons are given for considering the hypothesis that moral reasoning does not cause moral judgment; rather, moral reasoning is usually a post-hoc construction, generated after a judgment has been reached. The social intuitionist model is presented as an alternative to rationalist models. The model is a social model in that it de-emphasizes the private reasoning done by individuals, emphasizing instead the importance of social and cultural influences. The model is an intuitionist model in that it states that moral judgment is generally the result of quick, automatic evaluations (intuitions). The model is more consistent than rationalist models with recent findings in social, cultural, evolutionary, and biological psychology, as well as anthropology and primatology.

Acknowledgements Writing this dissertation was like riding a roller-coaster. There was the exhilaration of climbing ever higher, the apprehension caused by sudden changes of speed and direction, all the while knowing that there would be the occasional plunge into the unknown. Fortunately for me, just as I was boarding this ride, I met an incredible woman, Laura Lyhs, with whom to share it. Thank you, Laura, for always being there – for listening to my thoughts and ideas, for giving me your well-reasoned comments and suggestions, and for bucking me up when I needed it. I’m not sure I would have finished this without you. A big thank you to the other very special woman in my life, my sister, Juliette, who has always been incredibly supportive in everything that I do. I started this ride at Ghent University, where my supervisors, Ben Depoorter and Hans De Wulf, gave me tremendous support.
