Produktbeschreibung

Not until the 1970s did the sociology of emotions emerged as a coherent field of inquiry. Since then, however, the study of emotions has accelerated and is now at the forefront of sociological analysis. This book brings the reader up to date on the theory and research that have proliferated in the analysis of human emotions. Key researchers in the sociology of emotions review their own work and the work of others who have contributed to the sociological study of emotions. The first section of the book addresses the classification, the neurological underpinnings, and the effect of gender on emotions. The second reviews prominent sociological theories of emotion. Section three covers theory and research on specific emotions: love, jealousy and envy, empathy, sympathy, anger, grief, etc. The final section shows how the study of emotions has added new insight into other subfields of sociology: the workplace, health, and more.
