On the Causal Role of Appraisal in Emotion (2013, background): “Appraisal theorists have put forward various criteria to demarcate the set of emotions from other sets (cf. Frijda & Scherer, 2009; Moors, 2009; Scherer, 2009a): (a) Emotions are episodes, that is, phenomena with a restricted (usually short) duration.”
From everyday emotions to aesthetic emotions: towards a unified theory of musical emotions. (2013, background): “This realization forms the basis of theories of emotion causation (for a recent, excellent overview, see Moors, 2009).”
Emotions are emergent processes: they require a dynamic computational architecture (2009, background): “…addition, there are several psychological theories of emotion that do not fit squarely into the three traditions outlined above, focusing on a specific aspect or component of emotion, such as motivation or action preparation, or combining features from the three major orientations (see Moors 2009).”
When Hostile Consumers Wreak Havoc on Your Brand: The Phenomenon of Consumer Brand Sabotage (2016, background): “In accordance with appraisal theory, we argue that a high relevance of a brand stimulus to the consumer’s personal goals and values results in stronger emotions (Moors 2009) and cognitions (Bushman 1998).”
A Framework for Studying Emotions Across Phylogeny (2014, neutral): “Reproduced with modification from (Moors, 2009).”
The perception and categorisation of emotional stimuli: A review (2010, background): “Barrett (2006a,b) recently adapted Schachter’s theory of emotion (see also Moors, 2009) to propose a conceptual act approach based on the core affect notion put forward by Russell (2003).”
The brain basis of emotion: A meta-analytic review (2012, positive): “In consequence, the authors’ fundamental premise is untenable, the results of their meta-analysis being consistent with many different emotion theories (Moors 2009).”
A review of behavioural methods to study emotion and mood in pigs, Sus scrofa (2014, background): “Among emotion theorists most agree that emotions and emotional episodes are componential in nature, and there is some consensus on which components are included (Moors, 2009).”
What makes music emotionally significant? Exploring the underlying mechanisms (2014, background): “This realization forms the basis of theories of emotion causation (for a review, see Moors, 2009).”
Bringing appraisal theory to environmental risk perception: a review of conceptual approaches of the past 40 years and suggestions for future research (2012, background): “Appraisal theory is the most prominent psychological approach to study-specific emotions (Moors 2009).”
Automatic Constructive Appraisal as a Candidate Cause of Emotion (2010, neutral): “…theories disagree about the exact number and nature of the components they include, the order in which they place them within the emotional episode (and hence the components they consider to be causes and consequences), and the component(s) that they identify as “the emotion” (cf. Moors, 2009).”
