This eye-opening text brings together research from behavioral
science, neuroscience, and other fields to make a cogent case for
emotions acting as a practical framework for living our lives. A
dozen basic emotions are analyzed in terms of what causes them, how
they change thoughts and behaviors, and the functional value of
these responses. Contrary to the common idea of emotions as
fleeting occurrences, they are shown as having the potential for
lasting impact on moods, thoughts, and behaviors. Intriguing
findings assert that even negative emotions such as jealousy and
anger can have positive results such as promoting positive goals,
and can lead to successful outcomes in overarching domains such as
cognition and well-being. Among the topics covered: * How fear and
anxiety promote attention and protective behavior. * How sadness
and depression promote analysis of complex problems in
goal-pursuits. * How happiness promotes processing and attention. *
How love promotes relationship development and goal attainment. *
How pride promotes sense of self and identity. The Function of
Emotions is a valuable resource for students, researchers, and
clinicians interested in the psychology and neuroscience of
emotions and their function in everyday life. It will attract an
interested readership among professionals working in such fields as
education, management and leadership, social work, and
psychotherapy.
