This book features cutting edge research on the theory and measurement of affective dynamics from the leading experts in this emerging field. Authors will discuss how affective dynamics are instantiated across neural, psychological and behavioral levels of processing and provide state of the art analytical techniques for assessing temporal changes in affective experiences. It explores affective dynamics across three different time-scales: 1. Within-episode Affective Dynamics, in which authors will discuss how a single emotional episode may unfold including affective responses before the event, the initial appraisals of the eliciting event, the duration of affective responses, and recovery from the event after it’s over. 2. Between-episode Affective Dynamics, in which authors will discuss how emotions and moods at one point in time may influence subsequent emotions and moods both within individuals and between individuals. 3. Across-daily life Affective Dynamics, in which authors will discuss how affective states change from day to day and how these affective dynamics patterns predict individual differences in affective traits. Affective Dynamics will serve as a reference for both seasoned and beginning affective science researchers to explore affect changes across time, how these affective dynamics occur, and the causal antecedents of these dynamics.
