In this lesson we will be covering social psychological
research on emotion and affect. Specifically, how emotion is
informative to others as well as the self. In addition, how our social
world and culture shape our emotional displays. We'll also explore the
causal links between situations and emotions.
At the conclusion of this lesson you should be able to
explain how emotions impact others and how in turn emotions are impacted by
situations. Further, you should have a firm understanding of the ways
in which evolutionary theory has explained our use of emotions. You
should also understand the role the body plays in emotion.
