Feelings and emotions can play a major role in many social judgments and decisions. This book surveys and integrates the most recent work by leading psychologists on how emotions come to influence thinking and judgments. The role of emotions in interpersonal judgments about health and illness and in social decisions receive particular attention. Previous publications in this field have focused on either social judgments or emotional influence. This is the first book to integrate the two. It is organized in three main sections. The first looks at different conceptual approaches to the connection between emotion, mood and judgments. The second integrates and extends these basic theories, seeking to present a broader, more critical view of how feelings affect social judgments. The final section integrates well-defined theoretical models and their application in research.
For students (undergraduate and graduate) and professionals in social cognitive, personality and clinical psychology.
