Psychology of Emotion

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"In the crowded field of emotion science, it is a high bar to achieve a resource book that provides comprehensive, contemporary, and accessible information. Psychology of Emotion doesn't just meet that high bar, it stares down at the abyss to glimpse the bar far below. Spanning topics from how we express, experience, manage and share emotions to how electrical signals in the brain, sweaty palms, and cracking voices communicate emotions, this textbook covers all the classics and the newest theory and experiments in the science of emotion. Exploring topics from love, fear, pride, and hate and everything in between, this book provides the quintessential resource for every student and scholar who seeks to understand the complexity of human emotion."
