Inside-Out: From Basic Emotions Theory to the Behavioral Ecology View (2019, background): “…now leave the different mutations of BET in need of repair (Buck, 1984; Ekman, 1997, 2017; Izard, 2011; Keltner & Ekman, 2000; Keltner, Tracy, Sauter, Cordaro, & McNeil, 2016; Levenson, 2011; Matsumoto, Keltner, Shiota, O’Sullivan, & Frank, 2008; Sauter, 2017; Scarantino, 2017; Tracy, 2014).”
It’s About Time: A Special Section on Affect Dynamics (2015, background): “Evolutionary accounts of distinct emotions (Tracy, 2014) consider emotions as multicomponential, unfolding processes shaped by natural selection to adjust to specific recurring environmental threats or opportunities.”
The Sudden Devotion Emotion: Kama Muta and the Cultural Practices Whose Function Is to Evoke It (2019, background): “Theories of emotions differ widely, some taking a more biological view and arguing that only a few culturally universal emotions exist (Tracy, 2014), and others adopting a constructivist view and arguing that emotions are not natural kinds but instead are entirely arbitrary cultural constructions (B”
Emotions in Context: A Sociodynamic Model of Emotions (2014, background): “Our view is also consistent with evolutionary accounts (e.g., Tracy, 2014) at least to the extent that we equally emphasize the functionality of emotions (and emotional responses) for (social) life.”
Human Emotions: An Evolutionary Psychological Perspective (2016, background): “Consequently, a given emotion is not expected to invariably activate the same programs across all contexts (see Tracy, 2014, for a similar argument about variability in emotion output).”
Why Do People Regulate Their Emotions? A Taxonomy of Motives in Emotion Regulation (2016, background): “For instance, according to basic emotion theories, emotions have evolutionarybased functions (e.g., Tracy, 2014).”
