Emotion and Social Structures: The Affective Foundations of Social Order

By Christian von Scheve

Book Overview

Emotions and Social Structures

develops the argument that emotions play a key role in linking individual social action and the emergence and reproduction of social order. To do so, this book integrates theoretical models and empirical evidence from a wide range of disciplines, in particular psychology, cognitive science, and social and affective neuroscience. Christian von Scheve investigates the ways in which social structures serve as a basis for explaining the elicitation and experience of emotions, as well as how emotions influence social action and ensuing social structural dynamics.
