Emotion and emotion regulation in groups
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- People tend to respond emotionally to events that are related to their groups, even if these events do not have any direct effect on their lives. However, even as group members experience such group-based emotions, they are not necessarily passive. They frequently regulate not only their own emotions but those of others as well. In so doing, group members use these emotions as tools to influence their environment. The overarching goal of this dissertation was to examine emotion and emotion regulation in group contexts. Four inter-related projects were conducted. The first project provides a theoretical framework for identifying unique aspects in the unfolding and regulation of emotions in groups. The second and third projects empirically address current gaps in the literature. More specifically, the second project examines how people aggregate and summarize emotional expressions of multiple people, and how they categorize these emotional responses as generated by ingroup or outgroup members. The third project examines how group members are influenced by the emotions of their ingroup and assesses whether motivational forces may assist individuals in resisting or enhancing such influence. Finally, the fourth project introduces an emotion regulation intervention designed to increase group members' hope regarding the possibility of group change in the context of intergroup conflicts. Taken together, these four projects provide new theory, empirical findings, and an intervention related to emotions in groups. The dissertation concludes with a discussion of future research directions.
