The Handbook of Affective Sciences is a comprehensive road map to
the burgeoning area of affective sciences, which now spans several
disciplines. Helping to delineate this emerging field, this volume
brings together, for the first time, the various strands of inquiry
and latest research in the scientific study of emotion and related
affective phenomena.
In recent years, scientists have made considerable advances in
understanding how brain processes shape emotions and are changed by
human emotion. There have also been major methodological advances
in objectively measuring different parameters of emotion, ranging
from expressive behavior to physiology to subjective experience
using experience sampling. Drawing on a wide range of research and
methods of inquiry-neuroimaging techniques, neuropsychological
assessment, clinical research, and laboratory paradigms designed to
assess the cognitive and social constituents of emotion-scientists
are beginning to understand the many factors that shape emotion and
the vast range of functions that are affected by emotion. As a
result, researchers are gaining insight into such compelling
questions as how people experience life emotionally, why people
respond so differently to the same experiences, what the face can
tell us about internal states, how emotion in significant social
relationships influence health, and whether there are basic
emotions common to all humans.
This handbook brings together the most eminent scholars in the area
of affective science, who lay out, in fifty-nine original chapters,
the latest research and theorise in the field. The book is divided
into ten sections: Neuroscience; Autonomic Psychophysiology;
Genetics and Development; Expression of Emotion; Cognitive
Components of Emotion; Personality; Emotion and Social Processes;
Evolutionary and Cultural Perspective on Affect; Emotion and
Psychopathology; and Emotion and Health.
This major new volume will be an invaluable resource for
researchers that will define affective sciences for the next
decade.
