Magda B. Arnold (1903-2002), is a pioneering figure of 20th Century
emotions research whose pathbreaking and comprehensive theory of
emotion is an ambitious fusion of research in cognition,
motivation, neuroscience, and personality. Contributors' reviews
and critiques of Arnold's work offer a panorama of 20th Century
emotion science, revealing where progress has been made,
particularly in understanding appraisal processes, and highlighting
issues that emotions researchers continue to grapple with,
especially questions concerning emotion and value, optimal human
functioning, and the complexity of affective and motivational
pathways in the brain. Initially drawn to study emotion in the
early 1940s because of her interest in personality psychology,
Magda Arnold became a leader in the revival of the psychology of
emotion, long neglected while behaviourism was the prevailing
paradigm. Arnold's life story is no less complex and inspiring than
her multifaceted view of human emotion. She was a woman in a field
substantially dominated by men, a devout Roman Catholic at a time
when the scientific objectivity of Catholic scholars was
questioned, and an immigrant, first to Canada and then the U.S.,
whose early life had provided her with no advantages and little
opportunity. Contributors provide insight into the intellectual
forebears and theoretical scope of Arnold's emotion theory, and
apply her insights to illuminate pressing questions that face
contemporary researchers of emotion, motivation, and affective
neuroscience.
