Features: Emotion is an indispensable part of human life. In the early 1970s, there was very little information available about emotion research, and most psychologists avoided studying emotions. Stouman's Psychology of Emotion, from its 1973 edition to the current fifth edition, has spanned over 30 years. During these three decades, emotion research has evolved from scarcity to in-depth development, with these changes reflected in the different editions of Psychology of Emotion. The new fifth edition of Psychology of Emotion includes over 150 emotion theories, introducing relevant theories from phenomenology, behaviorism, physiology, cognition, development, social, clinical, and interdisciplinary perspectives, while also incorporating as many new empirical research findings as possible. Regardless of the theory or its disciplinary origin, if it cannot be reflected and revealed in daily life, its usefulness is questionable, and the same applies to emotion research. The author consciously incorporates numerous real-life examples into the book, exploring their theoretical foundations and guiding readers into a vivid emotional world.
