This course provides an overview of theoretical and empirical approaches to emotion from a lifespan perspective. Topics covered include historical approaches to studying emotion; conceptual and operational definitions; functions of emotion; emotion regulation; emotion in social relations (including inter-personal levels of analysis); gender and cultural differences in emotion; and implications of emotion for social cognition, attitudes and behaviour. The final week provides an integrative summary of the material and highlights directions for future research.
