Document Summary
Chapter 10 the sociology of emotions and relationships. Cybernetic approach: asserts that social conditions shape emotions and emotions act to maintain social structure. Affect: evaluative component of an emotion, whether it is good or bad. Mood: more diffuse emotional states that last a relatively long period of time. Feelings: internal states associated with a particular emotion. Sentiments: societies" imprint on our feelings, moods, affect, and emotions the constructed meanings associated with them. Kemper (1987) there are two types of emotions. Primary emotions: physiologically grounded emotions that we inherit. Secondary emotions: derive from primary emotions, when we attach varying meanings to primary emotions. Most similar to sentiments and are learned through socialization. Emotional discrimination: occurs when we attribute secondary emotions to our in-groups and not to our out-groups. Tend to see our own groups as more human than people in out-groups, or those people with whom we do not affiliate.
