Feeling the right way: Normative influences on people's use of emotion concepts

Díaz, Rodrigo; Reuter, Kevin (2021). Feeling the right way: Normative influences on people's use of emotion concepts. Mind & Language, 36(3):451-470.

Abstract

It is generally assumed that emotion concepts are purely descriptive. However, recent investigations suggest that the concept of happiness includes information about the morality of the agent's life. In this study, we argue that normative influences on emotion concepts are not restricted to happiness and are not about moral norms. In a series of studies, we show that emotion attribution is influenced by whether the agent's psychological and bodily states fit the situation in which they are experienced. People consider that emotions are not just about feeling in certain ways, but also about feeling the right way.
