On the Causal Role of Appraisal in Emotion (2013, background): “…appraisal is dedicated to the processing of specific types of information, but not to a particular type of mechanism, format of representations, or set of conditions (Arnold, 1960; Frijda, 1993; Lazarus, 1991b; Leventhal & Scherer, 1987; Moors, 2010; Oatley & Johnson-Laird, 1987; Scherer, 1993).”
Appraisal Theories of Emotion: State of the Art and Future Development (2013, background): “They believe that appraisal often proceeds automatically (i.e., uncontrolled in the promoting or counteracting sense, unconscious, efficient, and/or fast; Moors, 2010), but can also sometimes proceed nonautomatically.”
Affective Value in the Predictive Mind (2017, background): “…to distinguish different emotion ‘modules’ in the brain, even at the subcortical level, which has led some emotion theorists (e.g., Barrett 2014; Carver and Scheier 1990; Moors 2010; Russell 2003) to abandon this route in favor of a view that assumes fewer fundamental affective ‘building blocks’.”
The perception and categorisation of emotional stimuli: A review (2010, background): “This kind of processing needs an online appraisal (see, eg, Moors, in press ).”
Self-report captures 27 distinct categories of emotion bridged by continuous gradients (2017, unknown): “, moods, memories, inchoate physical sensations, and automatic appraisals (65)], differences in the granularity of emotional awareness and expression (66), and influences on language use of culture, gender, and social class.”
An appraisal account of individual differences in emotional experience (2010, background): “For instance, there is now evidence that appraisals can be automatically constructed (Moors, 2010).”
Current Emotion Research in Social Psychology: Thinking About Emotions and Other People (2015, background): “…made advances in detailing some of appraisal’s different instantiations, by accessing and manipulating some of the relevant mental operations (e.g., Moors, 2010; Tong, Tan, & Tan, 2013) and exploring mathematical functions that might provide more accurate explanations of appraisal–emotion…”
Affective Influences on Energy-Related Decisions and Behaviors (2014, background): “Appraisal theories of emotion claim that emotions are elicited as the individual automatically and continuously evaluates the information in one’s environment, scanning for information that is relevant to one’s concerns, goals, needs, and values (Ellsworth and Scherer, 2003; Moors, 2010).”
Theories of emotion causation: A review (2009, background): “The rule-based mechanism is said to be flexible but nonautomatic; the activation of learned and innate stimulus emotion connections is said to be rigid (and hence more error prone) but automatic (Clore & Ortony, 2000; Smith & Kirby, 2001; but see Moors, 2008).”
Flavors of Appraisal Theories of Emotion (2014, background): “It is assumed that both can operate under conditions of automaticity, and that both can operate on all kinds of representations (e.g., propositional, conceptual, perceptual, sensorimotor, embodied; Moors, 2010).”
