Emergent Ghosts of the Emotion Machine (2010, background): “The model specifically defines fear as causing amygdala activity, ANS arousal, an escape- or withdrawal- oriented behavioral action tendency, and a subjective report of feeling afraid (Barrett, 2006a).”
An Appraisal-Driven Componential Approach to the Emotional Brain (2018, neutral): “Constructivist theories (Averill, 1980; Barrett, 2006; Russell, 2003; Schachter & Singer, 1962).”
A comparison of the discrete and dimensional models of emotion in music (2011, background): “Thirdly, recent hybrid models of emotion (Barrett, 2006; Christie & Friedman, 2004; Russell, 2003) depend on finding the ways in which core affects (taken to be dimensional) interact with the conscious interpretation of what people know about emotions (best described in discrete terms).”
Automatic Constructive Appraisal as a Candidate Cause of Emotion (2010, neutral): “…is usually filed as a cognitive process (Lazarus, 1991; but see also Kappas, 2006) and liking is sometimes seen as a minimal form of emotion (e.g., Barrett, 2006; Zajonc, 1980; but see Leventhal & Scherer, 1987) or as a first step in the coming into being of an emotion (e.g., Scherer, 1984).”
Are Emotions Natural Kinds? (2006, neutral): “Evolution may have preserved processes that are broadly affective (cf. Barrett, 2006; Russell, 2003).”
Sentic patterns: Dependency-based rules for concept-level sentiment analysis (2014, background): “Nobody genuinely knows what function subjective emotion intensity follows, because it has never been truly or directly measured [27].”
Measures of emotion: A review (2009, neutral): “Despite these considerations, dimensional and discrete perspectives differ in how they conceptualise and describe emotional states (Barrett, 2006b).”
Emotions in Context: A Sociodynamic Model of Emotions (2014, background): “Both emotional experience and the perception of emotions in other people share with other perceptual processes that they combine top-down and bottom-up processes (Barrett, 2006).”
The Conceptual Act Theory: A Précis (2014, background): “If each emotion word names a conceptual category, and there is a lot of variation in the instances within that category, then how did we end up with beliefs that each emotion has a specific facial expression, bodily pattern, and so on? The CAT proposes that these patterns are stereotypes that repres”
Emotional States from Affective Dynamics (2013, methodology): “From a psychological constructivist perspective, we take as a starting point the premise that the wide variety of emotional experiences can be generated through the interactions of a more limited number of basic mental ingredients (Barrett, 2006a, 2006b, 2009).”
From affect programs to dynamical discrete emotions (2009, background): “This suggestion is explicit in Barrett (see in particular Barrett, 2006b), who writes for example that ‘‘emotions are not biologically given, but are constructed via the process of categorization’’ (Barrett, 2006b, p. 27).”
Emotion Generation and Emotion Regulation: One or Two Depends on Your Point of View (2011, neutral): “, Wundt (1897/1998), Barrett (2009), Harlow and Stagner”
Affective cognition: Exploring lay theories of emotion. (2015, background): “’s Conceptual Act Theory (Barrett, 2006; Lindquist & Barrett, 2008), a typical emotion experience starts with the agent experiencing a stimulus.”
Emotions Emerge from More Basic Psychological Ingredients: A Modern Psychological Constructionist Model (2013, background): “10 Importantly, my constructionist account hypothesizes that the knowledge brought to bear during conceptualization is supported by language (Barrett, 2006b; Barrett, Lindquist, & Gendron, 2007; Gendron et al., 2012; Lindquist & Barrett, 2008b; Lindquist & Gendron, 2013; Lindquist, Wager, Kober et a”
Affective Neuroscience: Past, Present, and Future (2009, background): “However, these proposals concerning separable neural regions underpinning different basic emotions remain the focus of considerable debate (Barrett, 2006a).”
