Abstract

From antiquity, most philosophers and psychologists have implicitly assumed that the nature of an individual's emotional experience is determined by his/her subjective interpretation of the eliciting event. Appraisal theories of emotion, pioneered by Arnold and Lazarus, have made this assumption explicit and have generated empirically testable hypotheses on emotion-specific appraisal profiles and their effects on physiological responses, motor expression, and feeling states. Current appraisal theories will be critically reviewed and compared to competing theories. A number of central issues of debate will be highlighted. The research evidence in this domain will be summarized, illustrated by a number of representative experiments from the Geneva Emotion Research Group. Special emphasis will be given to models of the appraisal process that attempt to tie into current developments in cognitive science and dynamic systems modeling. The very title of the Amsterdam Symposium, “Feelings and Emotions,” implies that these two terms should not be used as synonyms: The copula suggests that they are different and distinguishable. Unfortunately, the need to define these two concepts differentially has not always been heeded by scholars in this area and much confusion has been the result. One can argue, for example, that the famous James–Cannon debate is due to James's using the term “emotion” when he probably meant “feeling” (see Scherer, 2000a, pp. 155–156). There is an unabated tendenc…

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
