Psychology of Emotions

"This book represents a significant step forward in the theory of management and leadership development. It offers an international perspective in this era of globalization and a new and questioning perspective on the common belief that leadership is something completely different to, and more important than, management. This book will be of great help to the serous theorist and researcher of management and leadership development. It is an invaluable point of reference for a broad range of theory and research in this area, which it summarizes with admirable brevity and clarity."
- John G. Burgoyne, Lancaster University Management School and Henley Management College

Covering the entire scope of the psychology of emotion, this collection contains benchmark readings with a combination of classic works and more recent key publications, and will be included as part of the Sage Benchmarks in Psychology series.

In addition to the 74 key papers included, the collection opens with an introductory editorial essay by Antony Manstead in which he sets out the rationale behind the selection of papers, and provides an illuminating discussion of the key issues in emotion theory and research.
