I am interested in clarifying the concept of emotion, especially
      the cognitive dimension of emotion and how it interacts with
      the physiological dimension of emotion. I am also interested
      in applications of emotion theory to questions in aesthetics,
      e.g. the role of emotional arousal of words in literature, music,
      etc., and the nature of artistic expression of emotion.

Research interests:


      
My research has focused on how children learn that they can
      adopt an emotional front, that is, what they express emotionally
      need not match what they really feel. I have also investigated
      how children use this knowledge strategically in their interpersonal
      relations with others as well as when coping with aversive feelings.
      Theoretically, my approach to investigating emotional development
      may be best described as social constructivist: I emphasize the
      interpersonal context surrounding children's emotional processes
      as well as their cognitive developmental capacities for transforming
      both social and emotional experience.

Research interests:


      
My research program is focused on the psychological consequences
      of feeling states. The goal is to specify the processes by which
      affect influences thought and action. My students and I are investigating
      the consequences of the arousal of moods and eomtions in seveal
      different domains including (a) cognitive activities such as
      autobiographical memory, reasoning, and problem-solving, (b)
      perception and recall of physical symptoms and the development
      of health beliefs, (c) interpersonal behavior and close relationships,
      and (d) complex social emotions such as jealousy and envy. A
      theoretical framework called Emotional Intelligence unifies these
      different research thrusts. This perspective emphasizes the strategies
      that people learn in order to appraise and express their emotions
      accurately, understand the feelings of other people, regulate
      their emotions and the feelings of other people, and use emotions
      to motivate, plan, and achieve in life. My students and I also
      conduct research on the effectivenesss of health messages designed
      to promote cancer and HIV/AIDS prevention and early detection
      behaviors. We are especially interested in the framing of health
      messages in terms of gains versus losses and the possibility
      that anticipated affect mediates the influence of framed messages
      on health relevant behavior.

Research interests:


      
I am a personality/social psychologist. For the past 15 years
      my students and I have been engaged in two different lines of
      research which occasionally cross paths. One has to do with the
      mental representation of emotions ("emotion knowledge"),
      the other with the application of Bowlby and Ainsworth's attachment
      theory to the study of love, loneliness, and grief. The first
      line of research leads me to believe that there are prototypes
      or scripts for salient emotions, and that implicit and explicit
      knowledge of these scripts plays an important role in social
      interactions, including psychotherapy. The second line of research
      has produced a large literature concerning "attachment styles"
      and their effects on romantic relationships. I recently co-edited
      the "Handbook of Attachment" (cited above) and am currently
      working on a single-author book about research on romantic attachment.
      I am also working on new studies of attachment and on emotion
      representation in non-US societies (e.g., Indonesia). A complete
      list of recent publications can be found on my lab group's web
      site (address provided above).

Research interests:


      
My research program is concerned with the relationship between
      emotion as a quality of consciousness (i.e., "felt"
      emotion) and emotion as a cultural construct. I focus on the
      individual's beliefs about emotion, the significance that the
      individual attaches to these beliefs within specific contexts,
      and the application of these beliefs to assessments of self and
      others. I am a psychologist who uses an interdisciplinary approach
      to these problems, drawing from physiology, history, sociology,
      gender studies, and cultural studies. Most of my current research
      centers on linkages between beliefs about emotion/emotionality
      and beliefs about gender. I have especially focused on questions
      concerning when, why, and how emotion and emotionality are explicitly
      labeled.

I am interested (as are we all) in the nature of emotions,
      their place in the psychic economy and in social behavior. As
      a philosopher, I am also interested in the connections between
      emotions and ethics and emotions and culture-- and, consequently,
      in the differences and similarities of emotional life in various
      cultures. The role of language in the constitution and description
      (as well as "labelling") of emotion is therefore of
      particular interest to me.

Research interests:


      
My research on emotions is part of a broader inquiry into
      the nature and conditions of rationality. Two questions arise
      about the relation of rationality to emotions. One was first
      raised by Plato: Are there indeed values which emotions apprehend,
      or are our values nothing more than the shadows of our subjective
      emotions? Do we love something because it is worthy of love,
      or do we call it worthy of love merely because we love it? The
      second is: what role does emotion play in the broader context
      of rational thought and action? These questions, for me, are
      best answered in a biological and psychological perspective.
      More recently, I have become particularly interested in the implications
      for the nature of our emotions of the fact that we are individuals,
      limited in space and time, and unique in ways we regard as crucially
      important for our nature as human beings. This is obviously particularly
      relevant to the nature of love. But to what extent does it affect
      other emotions? I am also currently engaged in writing about
      the relation of emotional change to moral progress at the personal
      and social levels.

I am interested in the structure of semantic fields, especially
      that of emotion - it's origins and acquisition during development.
      I am also interested in semantics proper, i.e., the relation
      of lexical to conceptual to phenomenal structure. In the case
      of emotion, I suspect these relations are loose at best. I am
      currently extending a study of positive interpersonal words (and
      corresponding feelings) to obtain measures of breadth within
      affective space and additional semantic relations (compatibility,
      antonymy). I am also continuing a developmental study of definitions
      of emotion words varying in complexity, and a study of the application
      of emotion words to facial expressions and videotaped vignettes.

Affect and personality, with emphasis on individual differences
      in appetitive and adversive motivation as primary components
      of affect and temperament. This research includes investigations
      of the fucntional neuroanatomy of these motivation systems using
      EEG and fMRI. Other research investigates relations between affect
      and personality, as well as the influence of affect on components
      of information processing.

Research interests:


      
My present interest is in differentiation of and expressions
      of emotions. As regard the recent controversy between the categorical
      theory and the dimensional theory, I am of the opinion that the
      problem converges to the point where one should put a slice level
      on the differentiation process. If the lined drawn at lowest
      differentiation level, there would be only the positive emotions
      and the negative one. If it is drawn at the highest level, there
      would be several emotions, which are called basic emotions. At
      present I am conducting an experiment to examine its validity.
      Studies on emotional expressions are divided into two categories.
      As to facial expressions, I have so far shown, with decording
      experiments on ambiguous facial expressions using morphing technique
      and the stereoscopic vision, that these facial expressions are
      plotted circumplexly on the emotional space. And also, I am investigating
      relationships between covert (physiological) responses and overt
      behaviors by setting up various situations of emotion. I am presently
      secretary general of the Japanese Society for Research on Emotions.

Research interests:


      
I am a psychiatrist and psychotherapist with an interest in
      emotions and their vicissitudes in psychological treatment. My
      clinical interests in recent years has been particularly in Asperger
      syndrome, one of the autistic spectrum disorders, and in shame.
      Recently I have been developing an interest in violence and deliberate
      self-harm. I have written most recently about the effects of
      emotional flavours, arguing that almost every aspect of the personal
      world has the potential for being imbued with them. Flavours
      give emotional meaning to objects and afford us with immediate
      reactions to them. They have the capacity of solacing or of upsetting
      us by inducing the feelings corresponding to their flavour. I
      have a rather complicated derivation of such flavours from the
      palaeocortex and its links with smell, and social responding.
      Those who are interested in biology will see links with recent
      work on social intelligence, the amygdala, and the orbito-frontal
      cortex. The flavour hypothesis applies to psychotherapy through
      an emphasis on treatment adherence. I have argued that the flavour
      of the therapy has to be right for people to pursue it. Psychotherapists
      have too often attributed a breakdown of the treatment contract
      to failings of the client, rather than to interactive factors.
      When interactive factors have been considered, they have rarely
      included evaluation of the different quality of treatment approaches.
