Workshop
A psychological perspective on emotions
- Rainer Reisenzein (Universität Greifswald, Germany)
Abstract
How are emotions generated, what is their nature, and what is their function in the architecture of the mind? In my talk I give an overview of the main answers to these questions proposed by emotion psychologist and describe my own favored theoretical view of emotions. I end with some speculative comments on the possible role of emotions for solving coordination problems.
