Publications on emotion (and the affective sciences in general)
have exploded in the last decade. Numerous research teams and
individual scholars from many different disciplines have published
research papers or books about many different aspects of emotions
and their role in behaviour and society. However, One aspect of
emotional research that has been somewhat neglected, is the way in
which emotional terms translate into other languages. When using
terms like anger, sadness, fear, disgust, and joy for so-called
basic emotions, as well as terms like shame, guilt, pride, regret
and contempt for more complex emotions, it is naturally assumed
that the emotion terms used for research in the native language of
the researchers and translated into English are completely
equivalent in meaning. However, this is not generally the case. In
many cases there is no direct one to one relationship between an
English term and a term in an alternative language. In fact, there
can be significant differences in the way that these seemingly
similar emotional terms can be applied across various languages,
with important implications for how we review and appraise this
work. This book presents an extensive cross-cultural and
cross-linguistic review of the meaning of emotion words, adopting a
novel methodological approach. Based on the Component Process
Model, the authors developed a new instrument to assess the meaning
of emotion terms. This instrument, the GRID questionnaire, consists
of a grid of 24 emotion terms spanning the emotion domain and 142
emotion features that operationalize five emotion components
(Appraisals, Bodily reactions, Expressions, Action tendencies, and
Feelings). For the operationalization of these five emotion
components, very different emotion models from the Western and the
cultural-comparative emotion literature were taken into account.
'Components of Emotional Meaning' includes contributions from
psychological, cultural-comparative, and linguistic perspectives
demonstrating how this new instrument can be used to empirically
study very different research questions on the meaning of emotion
terms. The implications of the results for major theoretical
debates on emotion are also discussed. For all researchers in the
affective sciences, this book is an important new reference work.
