Beyond Dispassion: Emotions and Judicial Decision-Making in Modern Europe
Rechtsgeschichte - Legal History. Journal of the Max Planck Institute for European Legal History. 2017. Vol. 25. P. 277–285.
This article provides a historical perspective on what Terry Maroney called “the persistent cultural script of judicial dispassion” and extends the discussion to the continental legal systems of modern Europe. By looking at the legal debates that took place on the pages of professional periodicals and academic monographs across Europe, I show that the role of emotions was in fact an important topic in these discussions, with many participants advancing a very positive view of emotions as something that can help the judge arrive at correct decisions. By bringing in the wider social and cultural context, the article provides new explanations for the rise and demise of the ‘emotional judge’ between ca. 1880 and 1930 and the persistence of the ‘dispassionate’ stereotype in the modern era.

Governance is rapidly digitising, yet how citizens’ emotions towards algorithmic policy decision-making relate to their trust in governance institutions remains understudied. Drawing on the affect-as-information model, we argue that emotions constitute a distinct input into institutional trust judgements, operating both directly and by conditioning the weight of cognitive evaluations. We test this argument with a ...

This work is devoted to a theoretical explanation of the Easterlin paradox, according to which long-term economic growth does not make average level of people's happiness increasing. By happiness, we mean the intensity of emotions people experience while comparing their new income with its expected value, or the target income with its original value. In the first case, ...

This article describes solutions to several problems: CMU-MOSEI database preprocessing to improve data quality and bimodal multitask classification of emotions and sentiment. With the help of experimental studies, representative features for acoustic and linguistic information are identified among pretrained neural networks with Transformer architecture. The most representative features for the analysis of emotions and sentiments ...

We propose an interdisciplinary theoretical framework that integrates insights from political science, public administration, organizational theory, economics, psychology, sociology, and cognitive science to better understand the role of emotions in governance in the digital age. We argue that citizens' sentiments and emotional responses are central to their relationships with government institutions and bureaucracies. Building on bounded ...

This article is devoted to the phenomenon of intrinsic motivation, to understand which two models are proposed. We study how positive/negative intrinsic motivation to work (experienced utility) affects worker's individual labour supply (model I) and the amount of effort they exert (model II). In model I, we use intrinsic motivation to explain the positive/negative slope ...

Introduction:
Affective computing (AC) is increasingly used to study emotional processes underlying decision-making, yet its methodological validity in capturing spontaneous emotional responses and their behavioral relevance remains debated. In particular, it is unclear how facial obstructions and baseline correction affect the accuracy of AC-based facial emotion measures in capturing emotion–behavior relationships.
Methods:
The predictive validity of AC-based facial ...

The article addresses a key challenge to moral justification in normative ethics - the relationship between emotions and retributive moral judgments. Retributivism holds that there are normative reasons to reward or punish individuals on the basis of merit, independent of consequences. A common objection argues that such beliefs are grounded in retributive emotions, which are ...

Socio-legal studies have consistently documented the phenomenon of the “female discount”—a tendency for female defendants to receive more lenient punishments than male defendants. However, the literature on courts in authoritarian regimes suggests that decision-making patterns may differ in cases involving state interests. We analyze 15,229 court decisions under the most common parts (2, 5, 6.1, ...

The role of emotion in meaning-making remains undertheorized in cultural sociology. This article argues that emotions and affect are intrinsic to meaning-making and proposes cathexis—the attachment of emotions generated in social interaction to objects, symbols, and ideas—as the fundamental mechanism by which emotions co-constitute cultural meanings. Durkheim implied this constitutive role of affect in his theory ...

To test a person's psycho-emotional state, various methods are used, one of which is a reaction to an emotional video sequence. Such a reaction can make it possible to assess the degree of a person's involvement in certain emotional events. However, there are few methods to assess psycho-emotional status objectively. One of the sensitive markers ...

This article explores the epistemological aspects of emotions, focusing on their construction as objects of control. It examines practices where emotional regulation is particularly significant, such as addiction treatment, psychotherapy, and emotional and moral enhancement practices. The article traces a historical shift from a generalized typology of normative emotions to a distinction between private emotional ...

Emerging Adults’ Autonomy in Romantic Narrative Identities: Choices Between Emotions and Rationality
Victoria G. Yerofeyeva, Ekaterina M. Tsyganova, Bochaver A. A., Trends in Psychology 2025
This study examines how emerging adults define autonomy through their roman
tic relationship choices. Emerging adulthood provides a lot of opportunities to try
different things, but the diversity of alternatives makes it difficult to choose. Under
these conditions, autonomy becomes a necessary personal characteristic. We set
out to examine how young people construct romantic narratives identities based
on the characteristics ...

This study investigated the relationships between interoceptive signals, emotions, and time perception, with a particular focus on the mediating role of heart rate (HR). Emotional video stimuli were used to elicit specific emotional responses, while participants’ attentional focus was manipulated (internal vs. external) to examine its influence on temporal judgments.
Emotional content significantly influenced time perception. ...

The article discusses the problem of measuring indicators related to personal goals. Various positive effects of goals for well-being, self-regulation and personality development have been widely proved in psychological science. We propose a generalization of different measurements in the form of an independent scale of emotional-volitional goal engagement, complementing the existing concepts. Goal engagement allows ...

Sensorimotor embodiment of emotional semantic representations in the second language (L2) has been largely studied through behavioral paradigms. However, most neuroscience research of embodied semantics has almost exclusively focused on the native language (L1). The representational architecture of emotive con cepts (e.g., love, hate) in L2 has been explored from the neurocognitive per spective to ...

Emotions are a multifaceted phenomenon. They are at the center of attention of different disciplines including psychology and linguistics. These two disciplines have the most direct access to emotions due to the nature of their research. For psychologists, emotions are states experienced by people on a regular basis. In contrast, linguists study words and expressions ...
