Book Description
Emotion is a basic phenomenon of human functioning, most of the time having an adaptive value enhancing our effectiveness in pursuing our goals in the broadest sense. Regulation of these emotions, however, is essential for adaptive functioning, and suboptimal or dysfunctional emotion regulation may even be counterproductive and result in adverse consequences, including a poor well-being and ill health. This volume provides a state-of-the art overview of issues related to the association between emotion regulation and both mental and physical well-being. It covers various areas of research highly relevant to both researchers in the field and clinicians working with emotion regulation issues in their practice. Included topics are arranged along four major areas: • (Neuro-)biological processes involved in the generation and regulation of emotions • Psychological processes and mechanisms related to the link between emotion regulation and psychological well-being as well as physical health • Social perspective on emotion regulation pertaining to well-being and social functioning across the life span • Clinical aspects of emotion regulation and specific mental and physical health problems This broad scope offers the possibility to include research findings and thought-provoking views of leading experts from different fields of research, such as cognitive neuroscience, clinical psychology, psychophysiology, social psychology, and psychiatry on specific topics such as nonconscious emotion regulation, emotional body language, self-control, rumination, mindfulness, social sharing, positive emotions, intergroup emotions, and attachment in their relation to well-being and health. Chapters are based on the “Fourth International Conference on the (Non) Expression of Emotions in Health and Disease” held at Tilburg University in October 2007. In 2007 Springer published “Emotion Regulation: Conceptual and Clinical Issues” based on the Third International Conference on the (Non) Expression of Emotion in Health and Disease,” held at Tilburg University in October 2003. It is anticipated that, depending on sales, we may continue to publish the advances deriving from this conference.

The (non)expression of Emotions in Health and Disease
Author: A. J. J. M. Vingerhoets
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 372
Book Description
The (Non)Expression of Emotions in Health Disease contains the texts of contributions to the international conference on the (non)expression of emotions in health and disease, held at Tilburg University on August 28 - 30, 1996. Emotions are important for people in daily life. Their relevance is linked to their communicational aspects and their function to motivate, fuel, and guide our efforts to cope with the world around us. But emotions can also seriously interfere with people's ability to function adequately and can thus impede adaptation. In addition, both (quasi)experimental and correlational studies have yielded support for the hypothesis that the nonexpression of emotions may be an important factor for health status. However, it is not entirely clear how the different constructs and findings obtained with different methodologies relate to one another. Also, little is known about possible aetiological factors associated with nonexpression. Why are some individuals more expressive than others? What are the basic functions of emotional expressiveness and why and how could nonexpressiveness be associated with poor health status? Topics like alexi-thymia, emotions and disease, and the clinical aspects are addressed in this publication. Finally, there are contributions focusing on adult crying. The book is intended for both researchers and clinicians in the behavioral sciences and in medicine.

Writing
Author: Elena L. Grigorenko
Publisher: Psychology Press
ISBN: 1136668926
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 507
Book Description
This book captures the diversity and richness of writing as it relates to different forms of abilities, skills, competencies, and expertise. Psychologists, educators, researchers, and practitioners in neighboring areas are interested in exploring how writing develops and in what manner this development can be fostered, but they lack a handy, unified, and comprehensive source of information to satisfy their interest. The goal of this book is to fill this void by reflecting on the phenomenon of writing from a developmental perspective. It contains an integrated set of chapters devoted to issues of writing: how writing develops, how it is and should be taught and how writing paths of development differ across writing genres. Specifically, the book addresses typologies of writing; pathways of the development of writing skills; stages of the development of writing; individual differences in the acquisition of writing skills; writing ability and disability; teaching writing; and the development and demonstration of expertise in writing.

Adult Crying
Author: Ad J.J.M. Vingerhoets
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1135842434
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 346
Book Description
Crying is a typical human expression of emotion. Surprisingly, until now little scientific attention has been devoted to this phenomenon. Many textbooks on emotion fail to pay attention to it, and in scientific journals there are hardly any contributions focusing on this behavior. In contrast, there is much interest from the lay public, allowing pseudo-scientists to formulate theories that have little or no scientific basis. Is there any evidence in support of statements that crying is healthy or that not crying may result in toxification? How do people react to the crying of others? Is crying important for the diagnosis of depression, and if so, how? This book aims to fill this gap in scientific literature. Crying is discussed from several perspectives and specific attention is given to methodological issues and assessment. Each chapter provides a review and a summary of the relevant scientific literature.
