All social, economic and political systems, besides promoting and legitimizing structural norms of social, juridical and economic discipline, are also characterized by feeling rules necessary to consolidate the dominant system.
“todos los sistemas sociales, económico y políticos además de promover y legitimar una serie de normas o reglas estructurales de disciplina social, jurídica y económica, se caracterizan también por una serie de reglas del sentir necesarias para consolidar el sistema dominante (Hochschild, 1975).”

Emotions are sociocultural constructs: what we feel results from the cultural context in which we are inserted, our experiences and biography, and the historical moment in which we live.
“Considerar las emociones constructos socioculturales significa reconocer que lo que sentimos es el resultado del contexto cultural donde nos insertamos, de nuestras experiencias y biografía, y por supuesto del momento histórico en el que vivimos.”

Emotional processes include cognitive processes; we feel about what we think and think about what we feel.
“En otras palabras, sentimos sobre lo que pensamos y pensamos sobre lo que sentimos.”
From "Orgull, ressentiment i menyspreu". Emociones y reglas del sentir para comprender el proceso de polarización en Catalunya (2024) · cites this paper as Hochschild, 1975
Hochschild considers emotions to be a sociocultural construction, changing according to social context and historical temporality, overcoming the organicist and universal view of emotions.
“Hochschild considera que las emociones son una construcción sociocultural y por lo tanto cambiante en función del contexto social y de la temporalidad histórica, superando de esta forma la visión organicista y universal de las emociones.”

“Alongside the contributions of scholars such as Thomas Scheff and Randall Col - lins, Arlie Hochschild’s work on emotional labour (1975 ; 1979 ; 1983/2003 ; 1990 ; cf. 2011 ; 2019) is widely regarded as pioneering, pathbreaking, and a watershed in the establishment of the sociology of emotions as a…”

“…de las emociones como parte fundante de la irracionalidad, mostrado también por las teorías constructivistas psicológicas (ver Feldman Barrett, 2017), tiene su punto de partida en la propuesta de la socióloga estadounidense Arlie Hochschild (1975, 1979, 1983), que se caracteriza por dos aspectos.”

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.
