Full description:	This course will introduce students to a diverse array of theoretical and empirical issues related to the study of human emotion. Some questions the course will address include: What are our emotions? What purpose do they serve? How do emotions relate to our thoughts, memories, and behaviors towards others? What happens when our emotional responses go awry? Although these questions date back to early philosophical texts, only recently have experimental psychologists begun to explore this vast and exciting domain of study. The students will get acquainted with the culture and how emotion regulation can differ in various cultures. Finally the latest research works on emotions from different leading researchers in the field will be introduced to the students.
