Agnes Moors’ claim that the processes underlying emotional behavior and those driving non-emotional instrumental behavior are predominantly goal-directed leads her to the eliminativist conclusion that there is no solid mechanistic distinction between emotional and non-emotional episodes—and, thus, that emotions do not qualify as scientifically fruitful concepts. Here, I introduce a distinction between two types of goal-directed processes and discuss the sense of value that I consider relevant to emotional goals. On that basis, I reexamine whether the path to eliminativism is actually unescapable.

Inferences about others’ emotions have largely examined judgments from static presentation of cues (e.g., facial “expressions”), ignoring temporally dynamic and integrative aspects. Here, we extend insights from predictive processing accounts, focusing on the hypothesis of temporal dependence , to review the current evidence and advance the investigation of the contextual and dynamic nature of emotion inferences. Consistent with constructionist views, we theorize that people dynamically form models of others’ emotions by drawing on varied representations that contribute to divergent predictions and, ultimately, inferences. We review evidence for the role of internal representations in emotion inferences and for variability in conceptual representations of emotions then outline how predictive processing accounts can inform new empirical questions about the temporal dynamics in emotion inference.

In the Component Process Model (CPM), emotion is defined as a rapid psychological process whose emergence relies on appraisals (i.e., cognitive evaluations) of the environment. Personality encompasses many affective components and traits thought to shape specific appraisals, which in turn drive subsequent emotional outcomes. Despite the relevance of this relationship, it has mostly been studied within stress research. Therefore, this article aims at: (1) synthesizing prior research on the relationship between personality and appraisal, using the Big Five personality trait taxonomy as an integrative model and the alternative appraisal tradition of the CPM, and (2) providing an explanatory perspective on the nature of such relationships. The importance of understanding the mechanism linking individual differences and emotion responses is discussed.

There is a growing interdisciplinary effort to understand the emotional dimensions of the climate crisis. A central focus in this line of research is ecological grief—the grief felt in relation to ecological losses. Ecological grief is frequently claimed to be a shared emotion. Here, we discuss whether, and in which way, ecological grief is a shared emotion. We argue that ecological grief is characteristically shared as a group-based emotion. The shared character of ecological grief comes down to the shared nature of place-based practices and place-based identity, and this is reflected in the intentional structure of ecological grief, which is about our possibilities that have been lost through the loss of place. Ecological grief is also, we argue, apt to take the form of a shared process due to the often ambiguous and ongoing nature of ecological losses.

This article examines Kant's treatment of nostalgia through two analytical categories: explicit reflections, in which Kant directly addresses and analyzes the term das Heimweh ; and implicit reflections, which involve three concepts closely connected to his descriptions and definitions but not systematically examined within the explicit framework— memory , longing , and imagination . The paper concludes by engaging with Edward Casey's proposed solution to the question of which type of imagination ( productive or reproductive ) Kant employs in his definition of nostalgia, while introducing a novel interpretation of this theoretical issue.

Neo-emotions are invented terms that express emotional experiences that are novel or that have not previously been labeled. This article considers the utility of the concept of neo-emotions for the study of the past, exploring concepts of novelty and historical change within the history of emotions; the limits of emotion words for the study of emotional life; and the ways that neo-emotions point to the place of creativity and play in the development of new emotions. It suggests that the prominence of neo-emotions in the 21st century reflects current philosophical and scientific ideas about how emotions operate, which do not apply in all societies. Despite this, the concept of neo-emotions requires historians to look again at past emotional practices and the place of play in the development of new emotions.

Drawing on the ability, motivation, and opportunity framework ( Boxall & Purcell, 2011 ), we describe individuals’ emotionally intelligent behavior (EIB) in organizations as emerging from the interaction of emotional intelligence (EI) ability, motivation for EIB, and the opportunity to engage in such behavior at work. EI ability encompasses the capacity to perceive, use, understand, and regulate emotions. Motivation for EIB or the impetus to use the abilities is based on expectancy of success (emotional self-efficacy), valence (intrinsic value of EIB), and instrumentality (belief that such behavior helps achieve desired outcomes). Opportunity refers to the contextual influences of organizational culture, team climate, and leadership processes on EIB. These factors and the mechanisms through which they interact are discussed through a multilevel perspective.

Emotions in scientific research are typically portrayed as short-lived responses or dispositions to manifest such responses. Some philosophers have argued that this fails to capture long-term emotions (e.g., love, hate, and grief). This article examines whether the emerging field of affect dynamics (or emotion dynamics), which studies how emotions fluctuate over time, can address the philosophical critique. I argue that there are still aspects of long-term emotion (i.e., their temporal components and temporal dynamics) missing from affect dynamics. I end by proposing a few positive steps psychologists working in affect dynamics can take to mitigate these shortcomings.

Despite advances in understanding emotion regulation (ER) flexibility (e.g., flexibly using ER strategies to meet situational demands), there is heterogeneity in conceptualizations. To address this, we provide a unifying operationalization for ER flexibility and a person-specific ER flexibility framework. We define ER flexibility as the ability to continuously monitor the effectiveness of chosen ER strategies to meet one's goals for a situation and to adjust strategies, as needed, in response to changes in internal states (e.g., affect, beliefs about emotions) and external contextual demands (e.g., regulatory goals, situational factors/demands). This paper discusses existing ER flexibility frameworks, their empirical research, and potential limitations. We then present our person-specific ER flexibility framework. We highlight methodological applications, future research directions, and limitations.
