Emotion in Adult Development

The role of emotion in the development of adults has only recently come into its own as an area of study. In this volume scholars bring together (for the first time) work which provides us with an analysis of these affective processes and their place in the course of adult life. The contributors develop theoretical frameworks and present research which examines the role of emotion in relation to critical developmental areas: cognition, personality, well-being, interaction and culture. Collectively, the articles make a strong case for labelling emotion as the key motivating system in adults. This volume will be an invaluable addition to the libraries of scholars and advanced students in psychology, gerontology and adult development, and will have value to clinicians working with adult clients.Malatesta, Carol Z. is the author of 'Emotion in Adult Development' with ISBN 9780835784948 and ISBN 0835784940.
