In a wide array of social sciences, interest in emotion is
flourishing. Psychologists, sociologists, anthropologists,
communication scholars, and cognitive scientists are exploring
human emotions in a variety of contexts. This book speaks to
central issues raised by scholars in these disciplines through its
review of leading cognitive appraisal theories of emotion,
clarification of the nature of empathy, and exploration of how
people identify and respond to the emotions hidden within the
stories people tell. Intrigue with the separateness and oneness of
human existence and experience is evident throughout history. It
appears in the teachings of all great religions, in the
commentaries of philosophers, and in the perceptions of the most
famous characters in classic literature. Perhaps it is this
wonderment with human distinction and unity that has spawned
interest in empathy as a pervasive human phenomena. This book
presents an initial examination of the role of cognitive appraisals
in facilitating decoding accuracy and empathy. It compares the
leading cognitive appraisal theories and addresses the
relationships among appraisal information, empathy, and emotion
decoding. Real-life descriptions of emotional experiences are used
as the basis for a study examining the relationships between
perceived appraisals and perspective-taking, and accurate decoding
and empathy. Other studies probe the effects of specific appraisal
information on decoding and emotional reactions, and address
emotional reactivity to stories and delayed retention. Finally,
specific applications are offered for parents, educators, social
service employees, writers, advertisers, and people striving for
personal well-being and healthy relationships.
