This graduate seminar will examine recent theoretical and empirical advances in the study of human emotions viewed functionally as adaptations. The focus will be largely on social emotions that may function to (1) mentally represent key ‘fitness affordances’ in the social environment (i.e. threats and opportunities relevant to survival and reproduction), and (2) guide adaptive decision-making and motivate action with respect to those fitness affordances. In contrast to the traditional view that emotions are opposed to rationality, we will investigate which human emotions may contain a hidden adaptive logic that solves certain social problems (e.g. making social commitments and credible threats and promises) more effectively than conscious rational deliberation. Emotions to be considered in detail will include: romantic love, sexual jealousy, parental love, aggressive anger, empathy concerning the distress of others, fear of dangerous animals, and disgust concerning signs of communicable disease and pathogens. A wide range of empirical methods for investigating emotions will be considered.
The course readings will include recent journal papers and book chapters, plus a few historical classics. The readings will emphasize the work of key emotions theorists such as Darwin, Ekman, Rolls, Gray, LeDoux, Cosmides, Tooby, Buss, Daly, Wilson, Thornhill, Gilbert, Nesse, Fridja, Zajonc, Forgas, Hirshleifer, and Frank.
Insofar as human social emotions are at the core of both psychological well-being and psychological distress, this course may hold particular interest for clinical students. We will consider the role of social emotions especially in relation to mood disorders (depression, bipolar disorder), anxiety disorders, and psychosis.

Background knowledge/prerequisites:
This course assumes that you have taken a fair number of psychology classes and perhaps a bit of evolutionary psychology. If you’d like to get a little more background in evolutionary psychology, we’d recommend any of the following:
David Buss (1999). Evolutionary psychology: The new science of mind. New York: Allyn & Bacon.
Dylan Evans (2001). Emotion: The science of sentiment. NY: Oxford U. Press.
Geoffrey Miller (2000). The mating mind: How sexual choice shaped the evolution of human nature. New York: Doubleday.
Steven Pinker (1999). How the mind works. NY: Norton.
Matt Ridley (1995). The red queen: Sex and the evolution of human nature. New York: Penguin
Matt Ridley (1998). The origins of virtue: Human instincts and the evolution of cooperation. NY: Penguin.
The term paper determines 60% of your course grade. You can choose any topic related to the course content and course readings. The final paper should be about 4,000 to 6,000 words, plus references. We care more about clarity, insight, research, and the flow of argument than about length per se.
Please plan to submit the rough draft and the final draft in standard APA (American Psychological Association) research paper format. This means computer-printed, double-spaced, single-sided, in 12 point Arial (preferably) or Times Roman font, with a proper title page, abstract, references, and page numbering. Consult the APA Publication Manual (4th Edition) for more details.
For graduate students, my goal is for you to produce a paper that you could turn around and submit to a decent journal as a review or commentary piece to improve your C.V., and that you would be proud to submit in an application for a post-doc, tenure-track job, or clinical internship.
You’ll get extra credit if you actually submit the term paper for publication in a reputable journal. Please provide a copy of your submission cover letter.
To make sure that you are thinking, researching, and writing the paper on a good schedule throughout the semester, we require the following:
1. Feb
26: Provisional Abstract/outline/bibliography due. A provisional topic
statement/abstract (one paragraph), provisional outline of paper (about a
page), and provisional bibliography.
The bibliography should list about 10 to 20 references (not all from the syllabus here!), that you have actually read, with brief notes about their relevance to your paper. In the abstract, just let us know what you think you’ll probably write about. If you change your mind, no problem, just tell us in an email later. But we want you to have some topic in mind by this date. Pick a topic that you feel passionate about – you’ll have to live with it for several months! This topic statement/outline will determine 20% of the course grade. Late submissions will be penalized.
After you submit this outline and bibliography, come to our office hours at least once for my feedback. This is very important; we will try to make sure your paper looks viable and will try to give you some useful suggestions and references
2. April 2:
Rough draft due.
This should be a full-length, APA format draft of
your term paper – the sort of thing you would submit as your final draft in
most other courses. After we get this rough
draft, we will write comments and suggestions on it and return it to you as
soon as we can. This should allow you to submit a really good final draft, and
we hope it will help you improve your writing generally. This rough draft will determine 20% of the
course grade. Late submissions will be penalized.
3.
May 7 (last day of class): Final draft due.
This should be a highly polished document in correct
format with no spelling or grammatical errors.
It should represent the culmination of three months of research,
thinking, and writing about a topic that passionately interests you. The final draft will determine 20% of your
course grade. Late submissions will be
penalized. We will try to grade final
drafts by the last days of exams.
Structure of the term paper: The ideal paper would include the following elements:
Readings for each week will be copied by the instructor and distributed at least a week ahead of time to each student.
We have tried very hard to find recent, theoretically interesting journal papers from high quality journals. Some data on the readings are on the next page.
The readings have been arranged week by week according to a combination of theoretical issues addressed, and specific emotional phenomena discussed. Most weeks, there are about 40 to 50 pages of actual reading to be done (not counting references sections of the papers.) This should take about three hours. Our intention is for you to have a very broad exposure to the state of the art in emotion research. Some of the readings are harder than others; some weeks require more reading than other weeks.
Please do not take this course if you cannot commit an average of three hours a week to the readings. The major educational benefits of the course depend on you doing the readings on time, to benefit maximally from the class discussion. If you don’t read them, you won’t learn much; if you do read them attentively, you’ll learn a lot. we expect all of each week’s required readings to be completed well before class, so you have time to digest them, think about them, compare and contrast them, and prepare intelligent comments and questions about them. Last-minute reading on Tuesday night will not result in good comprehension or good in-class discussion.
Each week, we expect each student to write, copy, and distribute a one-page set of notes, comments, and questions concerning the readings for that week. These will form the basis for the class discussion.
The one-page notes should have your name at the top, and the APA-format reference for each reading as the header for your comments on that reading. Use numbered lists to identify your specific notes, comments, and questions under each reading. Please make at least two substantive comments on each reading – not simply summarizing the reading’s main points, but offering some sort of critical analysis of the reading’s ideas, or comparison to other readings, etc.
Please bring enough copies of your notes to distribute to everyone else in the class. Assume that the other students have read the paper fairly attentively, and want to know what you think of it.
In each class, you will have the opportunity to explain your comments on each reading, as a way to start some discussion.
Your one-page notes for each
week will be the basis for most of your class participation grade, which will
constitute 40% of the course grade.
