Targeting Emotion In Early Stoicism, Scott M. Rubarth
Targeting Emotion In Early Stoicism, Scott M. Rubarth
The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter
The Stoic sage is a cold, heartless being who would not grieve over the loss of a beloved companion or child. Unmoved, unemotional, uncaring, the sage is an ethical and emotional monstrosity hiding behind the pretension of the so-called virtues of detachment and austerity. That, at least, is how many who study Stoic ethics perceive the sage in regard to his/her emotional life. In this paper I will argue that this conception of the Stoic theory of emotion and passion is misleading; emotions, in fact, are central to Stoic ethics and apatheia should not be confused with the contemporary idea …
Emotional Episodes Facilitate Word Recall, Paula T. Hertel, C. Parks
Emotional Episodes Facilitate Word Recall, Paula T. Hertel, C. Parks
Psychology Faculty Research
Dysphoric and nondysphoric college students described self-generated images of themselves interacting with the referents of neutral nouns; the nouns were paired with adjectives that changed their emotional meaning (e.g., cruise ship, cargo ship, sinking ship). On the subsequent unexpected test, the nouns from emotional pairings were more frequently recalled than were those from neutral pairings, regardless of their valence or congruence with the students' mood. An examination of the initial descriptions revealed that emotional images were more distinctive, but not in a pattern correlated with recall of the corresponding nouns.
An Architecture For Emotional Decision-Making Agents, Eric Chown, Randolph M. Jones, Amy E. Henninger
An Architecture For Emotional Decision-Making Agents, Eric Chown, Randolph M. Jones, Amy E. Henninger
DCS Faculty Publications
Our research focuses on complex agents that are capable of interacting with their environments in ways that are increasingly similar to individual humans. In this article we describe a cognitive architecture for an interactive decision-making agent with emotions. The primary goal of this work is to make the decision-making process of complex agents more realistic with regard to the behavior moderators, including emotional factors that affect humans. Instead of uniform agents that rely entirely on a deterministic body of expertise to make their decisions, the decision making process of our agents will vary according to select emotional factors affecting the …
Please Forgive Me: Transgressors’ Emotions And Physiology During Imagery Of Seeking Forgiveness And Victim Responses, Charlotte Vanoyen-Witvliet, Thomas Ludwig, David J. Bauer
Please Forgive Me: Transgressors’ Emotions And Physiology During Imagery Of Seeking Forgiveness And Victim Responses, Charlotte Vanoyen-Witvliet, Thomas Ludwig, David J. Bauer
Faculty Publications
We assessed transgressors’ subjective emotions and physiological responses in a within-subjects imagery study involving 20 male and 20 female participants. Two imagery conditions focused on the transgressor’s actions: participants 1) ruminated about a real-life transgression and 2) imagined seeking forgiveness from the victim. Three imagery conditions focused on the victim’s possible responses: participants imagined their victims responding with 1) a grudge, 2) genuine forgiveness, and 3) reconciliation. Compared to ruminations about one’s transgression or an unforgiving response from the victim, imagery of forgiveness-seeking and merciful responses from victims (forgiveness and reconciliation) prompted improvements in basic emotions (e.g., sadness, anger) and …
The Impact Of Gruesome Evidence On Mock Juror Decision Making : The Role Of Evidence Characteristics And Emotional Response, Robert J. Nemeth
The Impact Of Gruesome Evidence On Mock Juror Decision Making : The Role Of Evidence Characteristics And Emotional Response, Robert J. Nemeth
LSU Doctoral Dissertations
Two experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of gruesome evidence on mock jurors? decisions in a simulated capital trial. The first experiment was designed as a replication and extension of Douglas, Lyon, and Ogloff (1997), who found that mock jurors who were presented with gruesome photographic evidence were nearly twice as likely to convict the defendant than participants who did not see the gruesome evidence. In Experiment 1, gruesome evidence was manipulated in two ways: photographic evidence (low gruesome, highly gruesome, or control photographs) and verbal testimony (low gruesome vs. highly gruesome). Neither photographic evidence nor testimony had an …

Lawyer-Negotiator As Mood Scientist: What We Know And Don't Know About How Mood Relates To Successful Negotiation, The, Clark Freshman, Adele Hayes, Greg Feldman
Journal of Dispute Resolution
This article explores two related questions: First, does mood7 shape how well lawyers succeed at negotiation?" Second, can lawyers succeed better at negotiation by understanding and managing the role of mood? We begin by exploring what scientific evidence we currently have about how mild changes in mood are associated with significant differences in success at negotiation. Ultimately, we argue that existing scientific evidence shows mood plays a far more complicated role than negotiators and negotiation scholars usually imagine, but that further research needs to address more carefully exactly how mood works and how it affects lawyers and legal negotiation. We …
No Place To Die: The Poetics Of Roadside Sacred Places In Mexico, Daniel Raymond Weir
No Place To Die: The Poetics Of Roadside Sacred Places In Mexico, Daniel Raymond Weir
LSU Doctoral Dissertations
Roadside death memorials are a response to the sudden, tragic death of a loved one; and are appearing with increasing regularity in developed and developing countries across the globe. In Mexico, however, wayside memorials and shrines of religiosity are a centuries-old tradition. This work, an effort to understand why the exact location of a person’s death is so important that a sacred place must be created where no place is intended, is basic and exploratory research. A multi-method, and cross-disciplinary case study, based upon the author’s fieldwork in Mexico, produces massive data and constitutes a robust explanatory triangulation. A geographic …
The Progress Of Passion, Kathryn Abrams
The Progress Of Passion, Kathryn Abrams
Michigan Law Review
Like an abandoned fortress, the dichotomy between reason and the passions casts a long shadow over the domain of legal thought. Beset by forces from legal realism to feminist epistemology, this dichotomy no longer holds sovereign sway. Yet its structure helps to articulate the boundaries of the legal field; efforts to move in and around it infuse present thinking with the echoes of a conceptually distinct past. Early critics of the dichotomy may unwittingly have prolonged its influence through the frontal character of their attacks. By challenging a strong distinction between emotion and reason, critics kept it, paradoxically, before legal …

Emotion And Attribution Of Intentionality In Leader–Member Relationships, Marie T. Dasborough
Marie T Dasborough
In this article, we present a model of emotions and attributions of intentionality within the leader– member relationship. The model is predicated on two central ideas. The first is that leadership is intrinsically an emotional process, where leaders display emotion and attempt to evoke emotion in their members. The second is that leadership is a process of social interaction and is therefore appropriately defined in terms of social, psychological theories such as the attribution theory. Our focus is on the perspective of members, not the leaders. Specifically, members’ attributions about their leader’s intentions influence how the members evaluate, interpret, and …
