Situational knowledge and emotions

Conway, M. A., Bekerian, D. A.·1987·Cognition & Emotion

Abstract

Knowledge of situations in which various emotions might typically be experienced was investigated. An initial series of experiments collected normative data concerning groupings of emotions, general situational information and specific “scripts” for emotional experiences. A further series of experiments employed primed word recognition (lexical decision, naming) and an image generation task in which subjects were primed with emotion words or situational information. Strong priming effects were observed from situational information to emotion words. These findings suggested that situational information relating to emotions may be organised in a hierarchy in which personal memories of emotional experiences, “scripts” of emotional experiences general emotion situation information, and conceptual knowledge of emotions are closely interrelated. The implications of this hierarchical organisation for the representation of emotional knowledge in memory are discussed.

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.
