The social structures of emotion consist of the ways in which the larger social context determines an emotion's causes, content, modes of expression, and meaning.
The experiential structures of emotion include, first and foremost, intentionality and what the emotion is about a person, an act, an event, or a state of affairs.
Other theories claim that genetic factors are inconsequential and that emotions are cognitively constructed or derived from experience, especially from socialization and learning (see below Social structures of emotion).
It is important, however, to take these different perspectives not as competitive but as complementary, each potentially yielding insight into what may be called the different "structures" of emotions.
In particular, we explore novel and advanced techniques in measurement and design, autonomic psychophysiology, the structure of emotion socialization, and modeling of parent child dynamics.
However, other sorts of phenomena proved resistant to cross-laboratory introspective consensus such as the possibility or not of imageless thought (see the entry on "mental imagery"), the structure of emotion, and the experiential aspects of of attention.
For literature of the debate on the dimensional structure of emotion space, see the special section of the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 76:803-64 for May, 1999 (Diener 1999) and, for an application with bearing on our topic, Depue and Collins, 1999.
Figure 6(a) shows the Bayesian network structure of "emotion" syndrome.
With a tested and recommended method for scoring emotion expression ability, we can now begin to construct more complex measurement models through confirmatory factor analysis in order to understand the structure of emotion expression ability.
The authors have confirmed a six-factor structure of emotion regulation, upon which the DERS is based; and adequate internal consistency (Cronbach's α > .80) of these subscales has been established [ 87].
The internal structure of emotion concepts and the regularities in their co-occurrence with bodily and contextual emotion signals are also analysed, taking insight from cognitive linguistics [ 14], Langacker [ 15], particularly from the analysis of figurative (first of all, metaphoric) language.
