• Participants' interpretations of facial expressions of emotion and judgments made about the poser as a function of gender, job status, and facial expression were examined. ... Gender and status of target were expected to influence ratings of emotion and personality characteristics. In a 2 X 2 X 3 between-subjects design, 246 participants (90% non-Hispanic Whites) read a vignette of a workplace interaction manipulating gender and job status of target and viewed a slide of the target displaying a facial expression of emotion. Measures of perceived emotion and ratings of personality characteristics produced main effects and interactions in support of the context-specific hypothesis: Gender and job status were significant influences on interpretation.
• These expressions are "read" by receivers and interpreted to mean that the sender is feeling a specific emotion such as anger, contempt, embarrassment, or happiness (Ekman, 1992; Ekman & Friesen, 1986; Keltner, 1995). ...
• According to this point of view, while facial expressions do convey emotion, the interpretation of the specific emotion is dependent upon the context of the situation as well as the facial configuration (Carroll & Russell, 1996; Russell, 1991, 1994). For instance, in one experiment, participants chose an emotion that was incongruent with the facial expression simply based on what the context prepared them to see (Carroll & Russell, 1996). ...
• There are several categories of stereotypes that may be elicited by contextual cues and influence the interpretation of emotion. ...
• Gender Stereotypes of Emotion.
• Brody and Hall's (1992) review of research on gender differences in emotion concluded that the general population believes there is a difference in the frequency of both the experience and the expression of emotions for men and women. ...
• Condry and Condry's (1976) classic study demonstrated that the "emotion" seen in an ambiguous facial expression was influenced by the supposed gender of the baby. ...
• Status Stereotypes of Emotion.
• Status also sets up expectancies of emotion. Although there have been virtually no studies directly linking status to specific emotions, the previously demonstrated stereotypes of job status in relation to gender bridge the gap, suggesting associations with stereotypes of status in relation to emotion. ...

• Cognitive Neuroscience of Emotion.
• This book, a member of the Series in Affective Science, is a unique interdisciplinary sequence of articles on the cognitive neuroscience of emotion by some of the most well-known researchers in the area. It explores what is known about cognitive processes in emotion at the same time it reviews the processes and anatomical structures involved in emotion, determining whether there is something about emotion and its neural substrates that requires they be studied as a separate domain. Divided into four major focal points and presenting research that has been performed in the last decade, this book covers the process of emotion generation, the functions of amygdala, the conscious experience of emotion, and emotion regulation and dysregulation. Collectively, the chapters constitute a broad but selective survey of current knowledge about emotion and the brain, and they all address the close association between cognitive and emotional processes. By bringing together diverse strands of investigation with the aim of documenting current understanding of how emotion is instantiated in the brain, this book will be of use to scientists, researchers, and advanced students of psychology and neuroscience.

• (Return to index)  What is an Emotion? .
• Our natural way of thinking about these standard emotions is that the mental perception of some fact excites the mental affection called the emotion, and that this latter state of mind gives rise to the bodily expression. ... 190 same changes as they occur IS the emotion. ...
• In the earlier books on Expression, written mostly from the artistic point of view, the signs of emotion visible from without were the only ones taken account of. ... And the various permutations and combinations of which these organic activities are susceptible, make it abstractly possible that no shade of emotion, however slight, should be without a bodily reverberation as unique, when taken in its totality, as is the mental mood itself. ...
• The immense number of parts modified in each emotion is what makes it so difficult for us to reproduce in cold blood the total and integral expression of any one of them. ... Just as an artificially imitated sneeze lacks something of the reality, so the attempt to imitate an emotion in the absence of its normal instigating cause is apt to be rather "hollow". ...
• If we fancy some strong emotion, and then try to abstract from our consciousness of it all the feelings of its characteristic bodily symptoms, we find we have nothing left behind, no "mind-stuff" out of which the emotion can be constituted, and that a cold and neutral state of intellectual perception is all that remains. ... What kind of an emotion of fear would be left, if the feelings p. ... A purely disembodied human emotion is a nonentity. I do not say that it is a contradiction in the nature of things, or that pure spirits are necessarily condemned to cold intellectual lives; but I say that for us, emotion dissociated from all bodily feeling is inconceivable. ...
• But if the emotion is nothing but the feeling of the reflex bodily effects of what we call its "objects," effects due to the connate adaptation of the nervous system to that object, we seem immediately faced by this objection: most of the objects of civilised men's emotions are things to which it would be preposterous to suppose their nervous systems connately adapted. ...
• We will say nothing of the argument's failure to distinguish between the idea of an emotion and the emotion itself. ... That is the emotion-arousing perception; and may give rise to as strong bodily convulsions in me, a civilised man experiencing the treatment of an artificial society, as in any savage prisoner of war, learning whether his captors are about to eat him or to make him a member of their tribe. ...
• Is there any evidence, it may be asked, for the assumption that particular perceptions do produce widespread bodily effects by a sort of immediate physical influence, antecedent to the arousal of an emotion or emotional idea? .
• Our whole nervous organisation is "on-edge" at the thought; and yet what emotion can be there except the unpleasant nervous feeling itself, or the dread that more of it may come? .

• Antonio Damasio, Descartes' Error: Emotion, Reason, and the Human Brain, Avon Books, 1994 .
• I had grown up accustomed to thinking that the mechanisms of reason existed in a separate province of the mind, where emotion should not be allowed to intrude, and when I thought of the brain behind that mind, I envisioned separate neural systems for reason and emotion. ...
• I began writing this book to propose that reason may not be as pure as most of us think it is or wish it were, that emotion and feelings may not be intruders in the bastion of reason at all: they may be enmeshed in its networks, for worse and for better.
• His principle theme, that reason and emotion are closely linked, is clearly and compellingly argued from a solid base in neuroscientific research, much of it the work of Damasio himself and of Hanna Damasio, to whom he is married. ...

In addition, I would like to thank Jane Doussard-Roosevelt for commenting on earlier drafts, and the students in my graduate seminar who have provided a forum for the discussion of the concepts described in the Polyvagal Theory of Emotion. INTRODUCTION A new theory, the Polyvagal Theory of Emotion, is presented which links the evolution of the autonomic nervous system to affective experience, emotional expression, vocal communication and contingent social behavior. ... The Polyvagal Theory of Emotion proposes that the evolution of the autonomic nervous system provides the organizing principle to interpret the adaptive significance of affective processes. ... However, with the exception of work by Cannon,2,3 which focused on the sympathetic-adrenal system as the physiological substrate of emotion, the presumed neural regulation of affective state has not been investigated. ... In fact, from Cannon's perspective and to many who followed, the sympathetic nervous system due to its mobilizing capacity was the component of the autonomic nervous system associated with emotion. ... AUTONOMIC DETERMINANTS OF EMOTION Over the past 100 years we have learned much about the autonomic nervous system, its evolutionary origins and how it relates to emotion. ... Most researchers evaluating autonomic responses during affective experiences, assumed, as did Cannon, that the sympathetic nervous system was the determinant of emotion, or at least the primary physiological covariate of emotion. ... The Polyvagal Theory of Emotion is derived from investigations of the evolution of the autonomic nervous system. ... Emotion is dependent upon the communication between the autonomic nervous system and the brain; visceral afferents convey information regarding physiological state to the brain and are critical to the sensory or psychological experience of emotion, and cranial nerves and the sympathetic nervous system are outputs from the brain that provide somatomotor and visceromotor control of the expression of emotion. ... PHYLOGENETIC DEVELOPMENT OF THE AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM: AN ORGANIZING PRINCIPLE FOR HUMAN EMOTION Inspection of Figure 1, which summarizes the primary regulatory structures of the heart in vertebrates, provides a basis for speculations regarding the behavioral repertoire of various classes of vertebrates.
