Kleppinger Research concerning cognitive processes for tonic inference is diverse involving approaches from several different perspectives. Outwardly, the ability to infer tonic seems fundamentally simple; yet it cannot be attributed to any single cognitive process, but is multi-faceted, engaging complex elements of the brain. This study will examine past research concerning tonic inference in light of current findings.

  • 25 Positive Emotions in Human-Product Interactions
    ORIGINAL ARTICLE Faces of Product Pleasure: 25 Positive Emotions in Human-Product Interactions Pieter M. A. Desmet Delft University of Technology, Faculty of Industrial Design Engineering, Delft, The Netherlands The study of user emotions is hindered by the absence of a clear overview of what positive emotions can be experienced in human- product interactions. Existing typologies are either too concise or too comprehensive, including less than five or hundreds of positive emotions, respectively. To overcome this hindrance, this paper introduces a basic set of 25 positive emotion types that represent the general repertoire of positive human emotions. The set was developed with a componential analysis of 150 positive emotion words. A questionnaire study that explored how and when each of the 25 emotions are experienced in human-product interactions resulted in a collection of 729 example cases. On the basis of these cases, six main sources of positive emotions in human-product interactions are proposed. By providing a fine-grained yet concise vocabulary of positive emotions that people can experience in response to product design, the typology aims to facilitate both research and design activities. The implications and limitations of the set are discussed, and some future research steps are proposed. Keywords – Emotion-Driven Design, Positive Emotions, Questionnaire Research. Relevance to Design Practice – Positive emotions differ both in how they are evoked and in how they influence usage behaviour. Designers can use the set of 25 positive emotions to develop their emotional granularity and to specify design intentions in terms of emotional impact. Citation: Desmet, P. M. A. (2012).

  • The Distancing-Embracing Model of the Enjoyment of Negative Emotions in Art Reception

Revisiting classical aesthetics in the light of recent psychological research, we present a novel model to explain this much discussed (apparent) paradox. We argue that negative emotions are an important resource for the arts in general, rather than a special license for exceptional art forms only. The underlying rationale is that negative emotions have been shown to be particularly powerful in securing attention, intense emotional involvement, and high memorability, and hence is precisely what artworks strive for. Two groups of processing mechanisms are identified that conjointly adopt the particular powers of negative emotions for art’s purposes.

EXPLORING THE SUBLIME AS DELIGHTFUL HORROR 2 Abstract The sublime is an enduring concept in Western aesthetic discourse, and is often portrayed such as in Edmund Burke’s A Philosophical Enquiry into the Origin of Our Ideas of the Sublime and Beautiful of 1759 as a delightful horror, a kind of enjoyment based on negative emotions. In the current paper, the relationship between sublimity and fear was explored using behavioral and physiological measures. In two studies, photographs of nature were selected, rated on sublimity, beauty, fear, happiness, and arousal, before being assessed against facial muscle movement (fEMG) and skin conductance (SCR). In line with philosophical theories, ratings of sublimity showed positive associations with subjective fear ratings (Study 1 & Study 2). At the same time looking at facial EMG data (Study 2) sublimity was associated with a decrease of corrugator supercilli (frowning) reactions, indicating reduced emotional negativity.

  • Augmenting Aesthetic Chills Using a Wearable Prosthesis Improves Their Downstream Efects on Reward and Social Cognition A
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Augmenting aesthetic chills using a wearable prosthesis improves their downstream efects on reward and social cognition A. J. H. Haar1,3*, A. Jain1,3, F. Schoeller1,2,3 & P. Maes1 Previous studies on aesthetic chills (i.e., psychogenic shivers) demonstrate their positive efects on stress, pleasure, and social cognition. We tested whether we could artifcially enhance this emotion and its downstream efects by intervening on its somatic markers using wearable technology. We built a device generating cold and vibrotactile sensations down the spine of subjects in temporal conjunction with a chill-eliciting audiovisual stimulus, enhancing the somatosensation of cold underlying aesthetic chills. Results suggest that participants wearing the device experienced signifcantly more chills, and chills of greater intensity. Further, these subjects reported sharing the feelings expressed in the stimulus to a greater degree, and felt more pleasure during the experience. These preliminary results demonstrate that emotion prosthetics and somatosensory interfaces ofer new possibilities of modulating human emotions from the bottom-up (body to mind). Future challenges will include testing the device on a larger sample and diversifying the type of stimuli to account for negatively valenced chills and intercultural diferences. Interoceptive technologies ofer a new paradigm for afective neuroscience, allowing controlled intervention on conscious feelings and their downstream efects on higher-order cognition. Body perception plays a critical role in making emotional signals accessible to consciousness through feelings and their associated embodied efects1–3. Internal representations of the external world are actively mediated by physical feelings from within the body (i.e., interoception). Te theory of embodied predictive coding suggests that feelings indicate a process of continually updating self-generated predictions about the probable causes of sensory input 4–6.

INTELLECTUAL EMOTIONS AND RELIGIOUS EMOTIONS Peter Goldie What is the best model of emotion if we are to reach a good understanding of the role of emotion in religious life? I begin by setting out a simple model of emotion, based on a paradigm emotional experience of fear of an immedi- ate threat in one’s environment. I argue that the simple model neglects many of the complexities of our emotional lives, including in particular the com- plexities that one finds with the intellectual emotions. I then discuss how our dispositions to have these kinds of emotions, which are part of what it is to be a virtuous intellectual enquirer, are subject to vicissitudes, in particular brought about by depression, apathy and other damaging changes to our psychic economy.

CONSTRUCTING 23 EMOTIONS The Scientific Aesthetics of Architecture in France 1860–1900 Estelle Thibault How is it conceivable that architectural forms are able to elicit an emotion or express a mood? How can architecture, which uses non-imitative forms, represent ideas and convey specific feelings to the observer? These concerns that so famously begin Heinrich Wölfflin’s Prolegomena zu einer Psychologie der Architektur (1886) also pervade French writings of the period.1 The notion that architectural forms can have emotional implications, and an influence on feelings, is a truism that has long confronted architects. Character theory, after all, emerged in France over a century earlier, and attempted to establish a universal language of architecture based on the codification of emotions.

  • Neglected Emotions: an Introduction
    Penultimate version. For final version go to: https://academic.oup.com/monist/article- abstract/103/2/135/5771241 Neglected Emotions: An Introduction Andreas Elpidorou Department of Philosophy, University of Louisville [email protected] Abstract Given the importance of emotions in our everyday lives, it is no surprise that in recent decades the study of emotions has received tremendous attention by a number of different disciplines. Yet despite the many and great advantages that have been made in understanding the nature of emotions, there still remains a class of emotional states that are understudied and that demand further elucidation. All contributions to the special issue consider either emotions or aspects of emotions that deserve the label ‘neglected.’ In doing so, they break new theoretical ground and further our understanding of the nature of the emotions that they consider. The aim of the present paper is to introduce the special issue on neglected emotions by articulating the different ways in which emotions can be said to be neglected. 1.Introduction For most of us, emotions permeate our waking life—not just by coloring it with this or that affective shade, but by profoundly shaping it. The presence of emotions is what commits us to the various projects that we choose to make our own and what defines our dealings with the world, others, and ourselves. Emotions can influence cognition, memory, decision making, and perception (e.g., Bradley et al. 1995; Forgas 1995; Niedenthal & Kitayama 1994; Phelps & Anderson 1997; Schwarz & Clore 1996; Zadra & Clore 2011). They prepare us for what is to come and connect us to what has passed.
