1.AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES Welcome to the Emotion course. The aim of this course is to deepen your understanding of this area of psychological research and theorizing. The study of emotion has advanced considerably since early theoretical investigations into its nature. Especially developments within different fields of psychology (clinical, social, developmental) point to the importance of research on the nature and function of emotion. The course aims to: a) explore cognitive, behavioral (display), and social facets of intrapersonal emotion, b) to examine recent approaches, that have addressed the interpersonal nature and the social informants of emotional processes. Ultimately, the module aims to demonstrate the close connection between intrapersonal, interpersonal and cultural facets of emotion. By the end of the course and via successful participation in the course you will be in a position to: - Evaluate the major theoretical frameworks in which psychologists have described and explained emotion as a phenomenon that transcends levels of analysis. -Critically consider the primary debates existent in theories of emotion (e.g., cognition vs. affect, categorical vs. dimensional structure, culture vs. biology). -Be aware of differences in the levels of analysis of explaining emotion: intrapersonal, interpersonal, cultural. -Analyze the role of conscious and non-conscious emotion in social behavior (particularly in relation to personality research, research on interpersonal relationships). -Critically evaluate the major methods in assessing emotion in social behavior. -Be aware of the cross-cultural differences and similarities in emotion functions and processes.
