Approaching the topic from a social psychological viewpoint, this
book provides a forum for some currently active theorists to
provide concise descriptions of their models in a way that
addresses four of the most central issues in the field: How does
affect influence memory, judgment, information processing, and
creativity? Each presentation includes a concise description of the
theory's underlying assumptions, an application of these
assumptions to the four central issues, and some answers to
questions posed by the other theorists.
Thus, in one volume, the reader is presented with a single
authoritative source for current theories of affect and information
processing and is given a chance to "listen in" on a conversation
among the theorists in the form of questions and answers related to
each theory. Students and researchers alike will benefit from the
clarity and brevity of this volume.

More than 30 years after its initial publication, this new edition
of The Cognitive Structure of Emotions refines and updates Ortony,
Clore, and Collins's OCC model of emotions. Starting from a
three-way classification of construals of the world--events, the
attribution of responsibility for events, and objects--the authors
propose a systematic account of emotion differentiation. Rejecting
the oft-favored features of bodily feelings, emotion-related
behaviors, and facial expressions as too intensity-dependent and
insufficiently diagnostic, they provide a detailed analysis of
emotion differentiation in terms of the cognitive underpinnings of
emotion types. Using numerous examples, they explain how different
variables influence emotion intensity, and show how emotions can be
formalized for computational purposes. Now with a contributed
chapter describing the OCC model's influence, this book will
interest a wide audience in cognitive, clinical, and social
psychology, as well as in artificial intelligence and affective
computing, and other cognitive science disciplines.
