Emotions play an important role in fostering positive parenting and healthy child development. This qualitative study explored the affective experiences of racially diverse US fathers with low income across the prenatal, postnatal, and early childhood periods. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 24 fathers. Interview questions asked about fathers' early parenting experiences that elicit parenting emotions of different valence. Results from thematic analysis demonstrated activation of multiple emotions depending on different proximal and distal experiences. Specific to proximal experiences, fathers reported feeling both excited and anxious about pregnancy and joyful and disappointed at childbirth. Related to distal experiences, fathers reported feeling encouraged by their social support networks that further aid their parenting, but feeling marginalized given systematic barriers (e.g., societal bias, high incarceration rates of Black fathers). Most importantly, fathers' parenting emotions, especially negative ones, led to them resolving to stay involved in their children's lives, gaining a sense of responsibility, and changing behaviors to do right by their children. Fathers resorted to various coping strategies to regulate their negative emotions. Overall, fathers with low income are emotionally resilient. Infant and early childhood health professionals should support fathers' mental health to promote father-child engagement and thus, ultimately, young children's mental health and wellbeing., (© 2024 The Author(s).

Introduction: The phenomenon of migration generates a series of experiences in the human being that are translated into emotions, feelings, adaptation processes, grief and psychopathological processes, and even pathological expressions, represented by clinical pictures of different kinds., Objective: The purpose of this article is to carry out a conceptual and clinical reflection on the semiology around the concept and experience of migration, in order to illustrate the complexity that it entails as a human phenomenon., Methods: A reduced narrative review, circumscribed and restricted to the semiological, psychopathological and clinical aspects of migration., Discussion: The separation, ruptures and losses that derive from migration do not go unnoticed by the individual. They are inscribed in his/her corporality as physiological injuries that affect his/her life and as symbolic injuries that affect his/her existence., Conclusions: Migration supposes a rupture of the totality of being. The context, the perception of others and relationships are cut off from the total unity that is the individual, as if he/she lost half of him/herself., (Copyright © 2021 Asociación Colombiana de Psiquiatría.

In this paper, we explore how the emotions of eco-anxiety and eco-anger can be perceived as potentially constructive responses to the climate crisis. We examine the context in which these emotions are experienced and expressed in light of the relationship between human beings and Nature. We argue that these eco-emotions are both visceral and numinous, and that this dual characteristic is critical when determining how best to respond to eco-anxiety and eco-anger. We propose that a suitable approach to this challenge is to draw from the imagination and the symbolic domain, and we offer personal reflections on what this process may look like., (© 2022 The Society of Analytical Psychology.)

Objective: To determine the perceptions and attitudes of the general practitioners (GP) towards consultations with great emotional component, initially called "sacred encounters", and to identify areas of improvement., Design: A qualitative methodology based on a socio-subjective approach and focused on health services research. Descriptive-interpretative study., Location: Health Centres of Alava and Biscay., Participants: Selection of 23 GP from 23 urban and rural Health Centres., Method: Intentional sampling aimed at looking for discursive diversity. Data generated in 2016 by means of 3 discussion groups and 3 individual interviews recorded and transcribed after informed consent. Presentation to the ethics committee of the Basque Country. Thematic analysis with the aid of conceptual maps and MaxQDA program. Triangulation of the results between researchers and verification by the participants., Results and Discussion: The findings were clustered into overlapping thematic areas related to the meaning of these encounters, attitudes of GP, health context, and patients. The importance of the emotions in primary care encounters and their invisibility is underlined, but the adequacy of the term "sacred" is questioned. This expression is built into the GP-patient relationship, if GP favours it and the patient also allows it, discussing the main circumstances that intervene in an essential dimension of integral care., Conclusions: The attention to the emotional dimension in the encounters has deficiencies that need to be corrected. In addition to its recognition and evaluation, it would be necessary to modify the organisational, training and professional factors that determine the involvement of the GPs in their good health care., (Copyright © 2019 The Authors.

Background and Objective: To look at transplant coordinators' professional narratives and explore their emotional experiences, coping strategies, needs and demands in relation to the donation interview., Materials and Methods: Exploratory, transversal, multicenter design, using grounded theory, qualitative approach and content analysis of open-ended questionnaire and semistructured interviews with 22 transplant coordinators from the Andalusian Public Health System. Categories of analysis: Transplant coordination: perceptions, functions, impact and consequences; Positive/gratifying aspects and negative/ difficult aspects; Donation interview; Coping strategies; Needs, demands and suggestions., Results: Transplant coordinators maintain a polarized perspective on their work, which they describe as a challenge and an opportunity. They highlight both their satisfaction and professional commitment as their work difficulties and requirements, which represent stress factors with an impact on professionals' perceptions, life styles, identity or physical and psychical life. Most gratifying work aspects refer to professional excellence, successful transplants and relationship with patients and their families. The donation interview is considered to be the most stressful moment, in response to which coordinators develop different emotional paths, conditioned by their experience, families' response to donation and its interpretation by the health team and professional (self) evaluation. Main professional demands are training strategies, group therapies and institutional support., Conclusions: The complexity and emotional intensiveness of transplant coordination require special interventions aiming to enable professionals towards an improvement of their emotional heath and management., (Copyright © 2019 Sociedad Española de Nefrología.

Introduction: The emotional environment created during a simulation session can influence learning. Positive emotions improve perceptual processing and facilitate learning, while negative emotions can reduce working memory, resulting in poorer learning outcomes., Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of simulation training on emotions during all phases of a high-fidelity simulation using standard prebriefing and «good judgement debriefing » techniques., Methods: This was an observational study that included 74 anesthesiologists participating in a simulation-based training. A standardized prebriefing was followed by «good judgement debriefing». In order to assess emotions, we used the circumplex model of emotion, and asked participants to complete the affect grid scale before prebriefing (Stage 1), before starting the simulation (Stage 2), before debriefing (Stage 3) and following debriefing (Stage 4)., Results: The affect grid scores obtained from 67 participants were analyzed. Following debriefing, the experience of the polytrauma patient simulation was significantly more pleasant compared to previous stages (P<0.01). In addition, participants perceived the activity as becoming increasingly active as it progressed (P<0.01)., Conclusions: High-fidelity trauma simulation creating a safe environment using a standardized prebriefing and «good judgement debriefing» is experienced as a pleasant and active activity at all stages of the simulation. Further investigation is needed to assess the impact of these results on learning., (Publicado por Elsevier España, S.L.U.)

Objectives: Understanding the emotional universe of women from Cordoba affected by hepatitis C., Method: Hermeneutic qualitative study. Participants met the criteria of being adult women with a current diagnosis of hepatitis C and belonging to the Plataforma de Afectad@s por la Hepatitis C of Cordoba. The intentional sampling was nominated and followed a criterion of intensity. Data collection was conducted through in-depth interviews. The analysis took place in 3levels: Explanation, naïve understanding and in-depth understanding. In the second level, the metaphor universe of emotions was incorporated, which is a taxonomy that organizes emotions into clusters of galaxies to facilitate understanding of affective phenomena., Results: Four participants were included. Seven themes roam the galaxies in the emotional universe of women. «Damned disease» explores their disgust, sadness and shame. «Intimate affections» focuses on happiness and love as well as sadness. «Friendship-platform» focuses on understanding, welfare and affection. «Physicians» deal with distrust and disappointment regarding new treatment, and with «curing» sadness, fear, anxiety and hope. «State of ill-being» focuses on anxiety. And «universal access now» explores anger., Conclusions: Despite the presence of love in the complex emotional universe of women with hepatitis C, anger, sadness and anxiety are highlighted. Hermeneutics of their emotions facilitates nursing care and nursing research humanization., (Copyright © 2018 Elsevier España, S.L.U. All rights reserved.)

Objective: To explore the experiences, emotions and coping skills among emergency medical technicians and emergency nurses after performing out-of-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation manoeuvres resulting in death., Method: An exploratory qualitative research was performed. Seven emergency medical technicians and six emergency nurses were selected by non-probability sampling among emergency medical system workers. The meetings took place up to information saturation, achieved after six individual interviews and a focal group. The meetings were then transcribed and a manual and inductive analysis of the contents performed., Main Results: After a failed resuscitation several short and long-term reactions appear. They can be negatives, such as sadness or uncertainty, or positives, such as the feeling of having done everything possible to save the patient's life. Emotional stress increases when ambulance staff have to talk with the deceased's family or when the patient is a child. The workers don't know of a coping strategy other than talking about their emotions with their colleagues., Conclusions: Death after a failed resuscitation can be viewed as a traumatic experience for rescuers. Being in contact with the suffering of others is an emotional, stress-generating factor with direct repercussions on the working and personal lives of emergency staff. Nevertheless, structured coping techniques are not common among those professionals., (Copyright © 2016 Sociedad Española de Enfermería Intensiva y Unidades Coronarias (SEEIUC).

Background: Social cognition refers to the mental processes involved in social interactions. Different aspects, such as the perception of others, self-knowledge, motivation and the cultural context, can modulate empathy responses and moral judgments regarding the actions of others. The National Mental Health Survey (ENSM for its acronym in Spanish) explored aspects of social cognition such as the perception of emotions, empathy and moral judgment in situations in which another person experiences pain., Objective: To describe the overall findings of the ENSM in relation to the emotional perception and empathic responses to situations where pain is inflicted on others in an intentional or accidental manner., Methods: A total of 3863 people aged 18-96 years old completed the social cognition module. They were asked to identify the emotions expressed in the images of several faces. A modified version of the awareness of social inference test (TASIT) was used. Additionally, the cognitive, affective, and moral elements of empathy were assessed with a modified version of the empathy for pain task (EPT), which uses a sequence of images in which someone is being hurt., Results: Happiness was identified by 91.5% of those interviewed; neutral or emotionless faces were identified by 65%; 55% of respondents correctly identified surprise. Only 19.7%, 21.8% and 27.4% could identify negative emotions like fear, disgust and sadness, respectively. When the data were analysed by age, poverty status, and different regions of the country, the results tend to vary. As regards empathy, 73.7% correctly identified intentional actions, and accidental actions were identified by 56.6%. According to the moral judgment of some respondents, even in situations where the pain was caused by accident, there must be some kind of punishment (20.7% deserved a low punishment and 26.8% a moderate one)., Conclusions: Noteworthy findings include the high recognition of happiness by the respondents, in contrast to the apparent difficulty in recognising sadness, and paradoxical results regarding punishment and empathy. This should be studied in greater detail, but these results can contribute to a deeper understanding of the complex Colombian social context., (Copyright © 2016 Asociación Colombiana de Psiquiatría.

Ceuta and Melilla are considered exemplary models of the border spectacle. The fences of these cities typify the notion of 'Fortress Europe' and impel the emotional engagement of the inhabitants with migration control policies. This article focuses on the experiences of local activists who have resisted migration containment policies. Through a close examination of the emotional geographies of activism in border areas, and the effect of migration policies on the everyday, this article aims to uncover the civic emotions underlying the lived realities of activists. Furthermore, by addressing the methodological challenges of investigating social emotions, this study integrates visual elicitation methods into ethnographic research. The evocative power of cinema allows films to act as visual stimuli that convey the intimate narratives of activists, which encompass compassion, outrage, or fatigue in the context of pro-migrant mobilization. By drawing on the mundane experiences of borders, this article delves into the intersection of emotions, activism, and borders to elucidate experiences against migration control.

Communication is multimodal in its very nature. In recent decades, research interest in this topic has grown exponentially, especially from a Multimodal Discourse Analysis (MDA) standpoint. Within academic settings, several studies have looked at lecturers' combinations of verbal and non-verbal features, but not necessarily in relation to the emotions that are implicitly part of lecturing. We believe that teaching involves transmitting knowledge together with emotions to students, more or less consciously. This may even be more relevant in an English Medium Instruction (EMI) setting, as English is not the instructor's main language. Thus, our main aim is to analyse an example of EMI teaching practice from an MDA perspective but adding an electronic device--an electroencephalograph--that can help us improve and/or complement the analysis in different ways: adding more objective support and dealing with the emotions lecturers can transmit when delivering their classes. Results show that this combination of observation and technology can potentially enrich results from traditional MDA research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Despite the regular occurrence of disasters such as infrastructural collapse and massive pollution, the mining industry has failed to introduce substantive innovations in waste management. In this paper, we explore a key factor behind such reluctance, which we have called a technopolitics of fear. Based on a science and technology studies framework, such technopolitics will be understood as a complex assemblage of affects, practices, and technologies with its governing logic and producing multiple effects. To explore the contours of such technopolitics we analyze a business conference of the mining industry occurring in Chile in 2019. Emerging first as an emotional outpour, the uncertainty caused by recent mining waste disasters was turned into something much more productive; first as "sound" economic valuations and then as conventional techno-fixes. In the conclusions, we will speculate about alternative ways in which the mining industry could truly enact the radical transformations needed to keep practicing extraction in vulnerable worlds.

This article analyzes the notion of emotion in early modern England, specifically throughout the Elizabethan era, from some perspectives of cultural history (Febvre and Burke) and the so-called "affective turn". First, it identifies the terms that describe and allude to emotions in two of the most representative treatises on the subject, those of Thomas Rogers and Thomas Wright, published in 1576 and 1601, respectively, to verify that the term "emotion", which describes a certain alteration of mood, does not appear in these sources, as its use in English is later. Both writers choose concepts that they consider synonymous to refer to emotions, whether "feelings", "perturbations", "motions", or "affections", but, above all, "passions", which emphasizes the intensity of that which is suffered, although without entirely denying human agency. Secondly, it is established that both sources draw on Hippocratic-Galenic humoral theory and the philosophical heritage of Aristotle and Augustine, among others, but differ in the moral perspective of the emotions, for while Wright professed Catholicism, Rogers adhered to the Protestant Reformation. Finally, it is argued that Elizabethan culture assumes that the male subject not only experiences and expresses emotions in a different way than women, but also that while his emotions are rooted in the brain, liver and spleen, the entire female emotional structure, with its various manifestations, is associated with the womb.

In Vilcún, Chile, on the evening of September 21, 1942, Francisca Cayupi Marín confronted and publicly stabbed Alberto Moraga Bello for leaving her and marrying someone else. Employing a microhistorical approach and based on the study of this legal case file, this research proposes, on one hand, the analysis of the use of violence as female agency in the face of conflicts in couples; and on the other hand, the analysis of emotions in the construction of a narrative of female defense in judicial testimonies, understood as a performative act and the display of negotiating abilities in response to decisions by judges and justice agents, within a regional and border space.

This article explores how was identified and evaluated the emotional states of women who, seized by strong emotions, reacted in a violent and disorderly way executing "excesses" considered outside the bounds of law in Captaincy General of Chile during the 18th century. To do so, it examines judicial records involving violent behaviors, interpersonal disputes and family conflicts in which mood was scrutinized to explain what predisposed the person's actions. It delves into how women's passional excess or disturbed emotions were described, comparing it to the descriptions of men acting under similar predisposition to find out patterns behind this identification and the evaluation made by those involved in the altercation, judges, witnesses and lawyers. The article suggests that Chilean culture identified in "furor" and "fury", translated into reactions that denoted "voracity" and "discomposure", a seed of inner instability that was close to madness or that could be assimilated to it. This state of internal disturbance could affect both men and women, although the evaluation on its significance was in each case different. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article examines what we term the 'un/making' of friendships: the complex, sometimes non-linear ways in which friendships start, are maintained (or not) and break down (or not). In doing so we seek to open out some of these complexities and explore how they interact with the form of these relationships. Drawing on repeat, in-depth interviews and ethnography with a friendship group of young people in rural community in the English Midlands, this paper theorizes the un/making of friendships through an exploration of young people's im/mobilities, their emotional attachments and responses to their friendships, and the ways in which their friendships are made, developed, sustained, fractured, and repaired as young people grow up/go on through transitions to adulthood. In doing so, the paper combines and contributes to literatures on geographies of friendships, youthful transitions and temporalities, and im/mobilities, principally through its theorization and exemplification of the 'un/making' of friendships.

Objectives: At a time when thousands of ethical codes are beginning to be approved in Spanish public administrations, this article tries to shed light on their possibilities and limitations, especially considering the cognitive challenges they represent and their insertion in organizational environments that sometimes socialize their employees in bad practices. Methodology: This is a theoretical and reflective text based on applied moral theory, focusing on the so-called administrative ethics, to which recent research in cognitive science is added. Results: The text highlights the important role of moral motivation and character formation for the success of codes. But it also allows us to understand the problems arising from value conflicts in public service and how to deal with them. The role of emotions, feelings, and intuitions in shaping ethical decisions is demonstrated, as is the risk of cognitive biases in decision making in the face of moral problems. Finally, the problem of the risks of socialization and normalization of corrupt practices in organizations is addressed. Conclusions: Recommendations for individuals and public organizations in the development and use of codes are derived from the results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study adopts a corpus-based approach to the analysis of how the discourse of menopause is framed metaphorically, with a specific focus on negative emotional language. Using Wmatrix for the corpus analysis, the study takes as a starting point semantic tags for the most frequent emotions. Metaphorical expressions related to different aspects of menopause are extracted from the corpus and analyzed, in terms of biological processes and associated emotional and mental states. The aim is to reveal the most prominent metaphorical frames that emerge in such discourse, assessing their influence in shaping the conceptualization of menopause and underscoring their effect on societal perceptions of this stage in women’s life. Key findings highlight four dominant framings: menopause as EMOTIONAL TURBULENCE, as DISRUPTIVE CHANGE, as HORMONAL CONFLICT, and as a CHALLENGE TO SOCIETAL AND PERSONAL IDENTITY. The study concludes that dominant metaphorical framings of menopause reinforce stereotypes about women by presenting this stage of life as marked by emotional turmoil, loss of identity and symptoms of various kinds, thus shaping social perceptions that oversimplify and negatively color this important life transition.

Emotions are central to human behavior and, consequently, play a significant role in policymaking. While the Multiple Streams Framework (MSF) incorporates the notion of "public mood" into the political stream, this concept primarily focuses on a fleeting, less intense, and diffuse emotional state that is not necessarily linked to a specific triggering event or policy‐related object. To address this limitation, the current article draws on robust findings from political psychology, viewing and interpreting the MSF through an emotional lens. It investigates the intersections between emotions, on the one hand, and the assumptions and structural elements of the MSF, on the other, by sharpening existing concepts—such as the emotional agenda (policy) window, emotional decision window, and emotional policy entrepreneurs—to examine emotionality in policy dynamics. It concludes by discussing how an emotional perspective on the MSF can help scholars generate nuanced hypotheses, overcome the MSF's metaphorical language, and gauge when policy may be in search of a rationale.

Currently, one of the topics that attracts the most interest in the experimental science didactics research agenda are emotions and their role in learning and teaching. Given the above, a review of the literature in this regard is presented here. Our study has a first phase of identifying publications in databases such as Scopus, Dialnet and Redalyc and a second phase of selection with theoretical criteria, in which those documents that presented reviewed and meta-analysis against research advances in this line. Subsequently, the data from these selected documents were organized, coded and analyzed with the help of the Atlas.ti24 data processing software, resulting in the recognition of some "key moments" within the research on emotions in science teaching. We begin our analysis with the identification of some causes of the lack of research on the subject and we reach the point of making considerations for its rise in the last decade and projections for the near future.

This study examined the evidence of validity for the internal structure of the Brazilian version of the Coping with Children's Negative Emotions Scale (CCNES). Participants were 163 mothers of preschoolers and 149 mothers of schoolchildren. Participants completed the Brazilian version of the CCNES and a Sociodemographic Questionnaire. The results revealed adequate factorability, good precision, and replicability indices, as well as differences in the number of factors between preschoolers and schoolchildren. For the preschoolers, three factors were identified (non-supportive reactions; emotion-focused and problem-focused reactions; and expressive encouragement), while for the schoolchildren, two factors emerged (non-supportive reactions and supportive reactions). Developmental differences between groups, such as schoolchildren's larger verbal repertoire and socio-cultural and contextual aspects, can explain the factorial structure of this version of the CCNES and should be considered in cultural adaptation studies.

In 1939, Marília, a thirty-year-old Brazilian housewife, residing in São Paulo, killed her lover, Armando, with an axe and gunshots. She turned herself in to the police and was admitted by her brother-in-law to the Pinel Sanatorium, a psychiatric institution catering to the city's more affluent social groups. The sources for this research include clinical documents—such as a medical report, lab tests, prescriptions, and a letter written by Marília—as well as newspaper articles from São Paulo that reported on the crime. Drawing on theoretical and methodological frameworks from the socio-cultural history of emotions, the history of women and gender, and the history of madness and psychiatry, this article identifies the emotions that surface in the different documents recounting Marília's story. Our primary objective is to analyze these emotions, not to explore their specific meanings, but to understand what they produce. I aim to comprehend how the collection of these emotions, as articulated across the various narratives I examine, operates through shared meanings to construct both an event and a subject: Marília. The different narratives about her life, including her own, and the crime she committed, highlight two central emotions: sadness and anger. This analysis demonstrates that these emotions operate within an emotional framework that defines places, possibilities, and limitations for women, grounded in the perception of their interconnected bodies and minds, social markers of difference, and expert discourses. It also reveals that emotional resistances are persistent. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Taking post-return everyday food practices as the primary analytical lens, this paper interrogates how the emotions of transnational returnees are structured by shifting spatio-temporalities in the process of return. Based on ethnographic fieldwork in Shanghai, the empirical discussion examines the experiences of overseas returned students in Shanghai through three cases. These respectively highlight how practices and emotions relate to the persistence of hometown tastes throughout migration, the embrace of host foods while studying overseas, and the adaptation to new dietary patterns after return. These cases of post-return exemplify the intricate connections between food, place, and emotions. There are two implications drawn from the empirical discussion. First, from the spatial perspective, the post-return emotions of transnational return migrants are intricately linked not only to the place to which they return and currently reside in but also to the places they previously experienced as emigrants. Second, the emotions of transnational return migrants should be comprehended under specific temporal frameworks, which, in this paper, refer to transitional life stages. By investigating the post-return place-related emotions indicated by everyday food practices, this research contributes a more intricate understanding of the emotional worlds of transnational returnees and sheds light on the emotionality of transnational return migration.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the interactions between emotions and student learning in a virtual environment became more evident. In January 2024, Ecuador experienced another period of mandatory confinement, returning to virtual classes, providing an opportune period to evaluate this relationship in situ in experimental subjects. Thus, a non-experimental, quantitative crosssectional study was designed to measure the level of association between emotions with academic performance and the experience of high school students in Biology, Physics, and Chemistry subjects at an educational institution. The results showed that a higher frequency of positive emotions correlated with higher perceptions of academic performance and student learning. The opposite was true for negative emotions. The results suggest that predominantly positive emotional states are significantly associated with student academic performance, although at a low to moderate level. Studies on this topic should be expanded to elucidate emotionally effective strategies for learning practical and experimental subjects. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The present study investigated the expression of emotions in pupils of the first five grades of primary school. The sample (N = 114) comprised pupils aged between 6.5 and 10.6 years, whose expression of emotions was observed using an observational schema. Observations were gathered in classrooms at 70 schools in different regions of Slovenia. Fourteen emotions were recognized in the pupils' expressions, with joy and anger predominating. The intensity of the expression of positive and negative emotions, as well as basic and complex emotions, was moderate, and no significant difference in intensity was observed between these categories. Boys expressed more positive, negative and basic emotions than girls. The situations that elicited emotions varied and reflected the prominent issues in school, particularly academic achievement, social interactions with teachers and classmates, and activities during lessons. The applicability of the results to teachers' work in the classroom was highlighted. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Sociological debates on the mobilising force of imagined futures are particularly relevant in our present context of climate emergency, where the claim-making of a 'threatened future' has come to the fore in civic mobilisations worldwide. This article addresses these debates by empirically examining how adverse views of the future underpinning present thematisations of climate change as an emergency shape collective action. Based upon qualitative research conducted in Barcelona on new climate movements, I analyse the content and form of two imagined futures ('catastrophe' and 'collapse') that emerge from the ways in which participants of Extinction Rebellion and Fridays for Future engage with the future and climate. This analysis shows how these imagined futures are reflected in individual imaginations and processed by these movements, infusing different forms of agency and impacting trajectories of action in the present. This empirically grounded focus on imagined climate futures reveals that not only are cognitions of climate risks crucial, but so are the emotions that these produce in configuring collective action. Likewise, this study highlights how even disastrous imagined climate futures include utopian impulses for sustainable futures as both a driver and result of collective action. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article analyzes abortion experiences with misoprostol during the first decade of the 21st century in Argentina, before the legalization of the practice and the publication of the World Health Organization manuals on medication dosage. Based on in-depth interviews with women who underwent medical abortions during those years, we inquire about the mechanisms of information circulation and clandestine purchase of the drug. In addition, the article delves into experiences on the use of medication, confidence in the procedure, and the pain felt by these women from the theoretical perspective of the sociology of emotions. Among the most relevant findings is that women build networks and links to overcome the problems surrounding the practice of abortion because of the difficulty of obtaining the medication in the context of legality and illegality and the lack of information about the procedure itself and to develop a reliable method based on their own experiences.

This article examines the emotional aspects of international student mobility (ISM) from African countries to a higher education institution in China. While there is increasing scholarly attention to the role of emotional experiences in ISM, most of this work has focused on Western destinations with a long history of education mobilities. Information on newly emerged, non-Western ISM destinations is comparatively limited. Drawing on ethnographic research of 15 months at a Chinese university, this article shows how emotions shape and re-shape pre-arrival aspirations, daily interactions, and post-graduation plans among students from African countries. Specifically, the study shows that many students confront emotional dissonance and perform diverse forms of ‘emotion work’ in attempts to find a sense of familiarity and belonging while studying abroad. This is significant as it speaks to students’ agentive subjectivity in contending with emotional challenges and navigating complex ‘emoscapes’. The paper argues that a focus on emotions contributes to a more nuanced, multifaceted understanding of contemporary educational mobilities. It illuminates how students’ multiple emotions are continuously articulated and circulated with and within these ISM flows apparently driven by economic forces in the global higher education market.

Does anxiety affect how public officials process policy information? It is often argued that the increasing number of policy failures can be explained by a lack of policy learning by decision makers. While previous studies show that socioeconomic and partisan variables are related to the perception of policy information, little attention has been paid to the role of emotions, such as anxiety, in the policymaking process. In this paper, we investigate the impact of anxiety on the policy learning of local office holders at the individual level in Switzerland. We introduce the Marcus' Affective Intelligence Model—which examines how emotions affect individuals' information processing—to the policy learning literature. To test the expectations of the model, we draw on novel experimental data collected among local elected officials from the 26 Swiss cantons. In the experiment, we randomly display anxiety‐inducing images along with policy information. We provide evidence that anxiety has a positive causal effect on learning. Considering potential moderators of this effect, we show that the relationship is not conditioned by the strength of priors or the perceived complexity of public policies. However, these variables are substantially correlated with policy learning. Our findings have important implications for better understanding how information influences policymaking.

This article explores contemporary discourses of deviation in early twentieth-century Colombia. Through analysis of a presidential assassination attempt in 1906, known as the Crime of Barrocolorado, it discusses the social construction of notions of criminality and danger in the light of the history of emotions. The assault on the president triggered a series of commentaries and reactions that revolved around anarchism, medicine, and criminology, topics that are dissected and connected here in search of their emotional components. In this way, the study brings forth the importance of emotions in the construction of social and political ideas in the past.

The collection of fables of the rhetor Aphthonius (Aphth.) consists of 40 models of this exercise. According to our hypothesis some fables make up a corpus with "agonal correlations" underlying a didactic program around emotions and persuasion. Based on three fables (Aphth. 7, 21, 16) that thematize the act of persuading and the mistake of being persuaded by an opponent: 1. we will analyze individual and social emotive fictions to verify how their "agonal correlations" model the cognitive evaluation of that mistake; 2. we will investigate whether these artificially created emotions in fabulistic narrative anticipate discursive roles and their possible affections-effects in a future rhetorical community.
