This course adresses the interaction of human emotion and cognition. The first five lectures provide an overview of the basic streams in investigating and theorizing about emotions and affective processing, including evolutionary, anthropological, sociological, information-processing, and neurophysiological approaches. The remaining lectures provide examples for the application of emotion theories to issues in clinical, developmental, social and health psychology.
