Psychology of Emotions

Covering the entire scope of the psychology of emotion, this collection contains benchmark readings with a combination of classic works and more recent key publications, and will be included as part of the Sage Benchmarks in Psychology series. Volume 1 includes theoretical papers that set out major theoretical positions in the psychology of emotion, while the remaining readings are predominantly empirical articles that show how psychological knowledge of emotion is acquired through research. In addition to the 74 key papers included, the collection opens with an introductory editorial essay by Antony Manstead in which he sets out the rationale behind the selection of papers, and provides an illuminating discussion of the key issues in emotion theory and research.
