Overview
Emotions are psychological and physiological states that arise in response to internal or external stimuli, involving subjective experience, cognitive appraisal, and behavioral expression. Research published in this journal examines emotions across multiple dimensions of human functioning and development. Studies have investigated specific emotional states including hatred in contexts of prolonged conflict, frustration among athletes, and feelings of loneliness that influence behavioral patterns such as sleep procrastination. The journal has published work on emotional intelligence and its relationship to self-efficacy in educational settings, as well as the cognitive mechanisms through which emotional validity influences conflict control processes. Research has explored the consequences of emotion regulation strategies, particularly the physical and mental health outcomes associated with emotional repression. Additional studies address emotions within organizational contexts, examining skills needed for managing staff emotions in healthcare leadership. The developmental aspects of emotions appear in research on childhood somatic complaints and their connections to emotional functioning, the role of autobiographical memory in adolescent identity formation, and moral-emotional identity regulation among diaspora populations. This body of work reflects the fundamental role emotions play in health, interpersonal relationships, cognitive processes, and psychological well-being across the lifespan.
