Epistemic Perceptualists claim that emotions are sources of immediate defeasible justification for evaluative propositions that can (and do) sometimes ground undefeated immediately justified evaluative beliefs. For example, fear can constitute the justificatory ground for a belief that some object or event is dangerous. Despite its attractiveness, the view is apparently vulnerable to several ob...

Positive emotion typologies, that is, classifications of positive emotions into conceptually distinct categories or ‘types’ according to their properties, can clarify and simplify the complex structure space. In this review, we introduce three key evaluative criteria for such typologies: comprehensiveness, distinctiveness, granularity. Comprehensiveness is degree which typology accurately repre...

Several emotion theorists suggest that valenced stimuli automatically trigger motivational orientations and thereby facilitate corresponding behavior. Positive stimuli were thought to activate approach motivational circuits which in turn primed approach-related behavioral tendencies whereas negative stimuli were supposed to activate avoidance motivational circuits so that avoidance-related beha...

scientific communications network is presented in, sociology of science. and we can use steven's evaluative bibliometrics to map it. in citation network approach, scientist's communication behavior is predicted through their citation behavior. in this paper, first, concepts such as sociology of science, scientific community, scientific communications and its kinds are described. two k...

This paper advances the discussion on which emotion information affects word accessing. Emotion information, which is formed as a result of repeated experiences, is primary and necessary in learning and representing word meanings. Previous findings suggested that valence (i.e., positive or negative) denoted by words can be automatically activated and plays a role in many significant cognitive p...

People can experience different emotions when listening to music. A growing number of studies have investigated the brain structures and neural connectivities associated with perceived emotions. However, very little is known about the effect of an explicit act of judgment on the neural processing of emotionally-valenced music. In this study, we adopted the novel consensus clustering paradigm, c...

Emotion, anger, fear, love, and similar concepts have so far defied classical definition. This article summarizes one analysis of emotion concepts from a prototype perspective and answers criticisms directed at such an analysis. Specifically addressed are 5 claims made by critics: The superordinate concept of emotion is classically defined; basic-level emotion concepts are classically defined; ...
