"This book reviews the theoretical and empirical work in the sociology of emotions, with appendices on relevant psychological theories as they intersect with sociological theories. The theories are grouped into several basic approaches: dramaturgical and cultural, interaction ritual, symbolic interactionist, exchange, structural, and evolutionary. The theories that have been developed within these diverse traditions are summarized, and illustrative empirical work using each theory is reviewed."--BOOK JACKET.
