This book provides an overview of theoretical thinking about the
communicative scope of emotional expressions as well as an overview
of the state of the art research in emotional psychology. For many
years, research in emotional psychology has been primarily
concerned with the labeling of emotion expressions and the link
between emotion expressions and the expresser's internal state.
Following recent trends in research devoting specific attention to
the social signal value of emotions, contributors emphasize the
nature of emotion expressions as information about the person and
the situation, including the social norms and standards relevant to
the situation. Focusing on the role of emotion expressions as
communicative acts, this timely book seeks to advance a line of
theoretical thinking that goes beyond the view of emotion
expressions as symptoms of an intrapersonal phenomenon to focus on
their interpersonal function. The Social Nature of Emotion
Expression will be of interest to researchers in emotional
psychology, as well as specialists in nonverbal behavior,
communication, linguistics, ethology and ethnography.
The study of emotional expressions has a long tradition in
psychology. Although research in this domain has extensively
studied the social context factors that influence the expresser's
facial display, the perceiver was considered passive. This 2007
book focuses on more recent developments that show that the
perceiver is also subject to the same social rules and norms that
guide the expresser's behavior and that knowledge of relevant
emotion norms can influence how emotional expressions shown by
members of different groups are perceived and interpreted. Factors
such as ethnic-group membership, gender and relative status all
influence not only emotional expressions but also the
interpretation of emotional expressions shown by members of
different groups. Specifically, the research presented asks the
question of whether and why the same expressions shown by men or
women, members of different ethnic groups, or individuals high and
low in status are interpreted differently.
In everyday life we actively react to the emotional expressions of
others, responding by showing matching, or sometimes contrasting,
expressions. Emotional mimicry has important social functions such
as signalling affiliative intent and fostering rapport, and is
considered one of the cornerstones of successful interactions. This
book provides a multidisciplinary overview of research into
emotional mimicry and empathy, and explores when, how and why
emotional mimicry occurs. Focusing on recent developments in the
field, the chapters cover a variety of approaches and research
questions, such as the role of literature in empathy and emotional
mimicry, the most important brain areas involved in the mimicry of
emotions, the effects of specific psychopathologies on mimicry, why
smiling may be a special case in mimicry, whether we can also mimic
vocal emotional expressions, individual differences in mimicry and
the role of social contexts in mimicry.
As our society ages, questions concerning the relations between
generations gain importance. The quality of human relations depends
on the quality of emotion communication, which is a significant
part of our daily interactions. Emotion expressions serve not only
to communicate how the expresser feels, but also to communicate
intentions (whether to approach or retreat) and personality traits
(such as dominance, trustworthiness, or friendliness) that
influence our decisions regarding whether and how to interact with
a person. Emotion Communication by the Aging Face and Body
delineates how aging affects emotion communication and person
perception by bringing together research across multiple
disciplines. Scholars and graduate students in the psychology of
aging, affective science, and social gerontology will benefit from
this over-view and theoretical framework.

Zwei zentrale Konzepte der Allgemeinen Psychologie sind Motivation
und Emotion. Theorien der menschlichen Motivation beschaftigen sich
mit der Frage, warum Menschen tun, was sie tun, Emotionstheorien
dagegen mit der Frage, wie Emotionen ausgelost werden und wie sie
unser Handeln beeinflussen. Das Buch vermittelt Basiswissen uber
zentrale Theorien - so z. B. uber Bedurfnis- und Kognitive Theorien
der Motivation sowie Emotionstheorien nach Darwin und nach James
sowie uber Appraisaltheorien -, wichtige Forschungsergebnisse und
neuere Entwicklungen. Illustrierende Beispiele und zusammenfassende
Darstellungen helfen, die Materie in klarer, verstandlicher Form zu
vermitteln. Ein abschliessendes Kapitel uber kulturelle
Unterschiede und Ahnlichkeiten stellt die Themenkomplexe in einen
weiten Kontext.
