From Signals to Sense-Making: Physiological and Interoceptive Pathways in Emotion

Saturday, May 24, 2025 · Washington, DC

Oral · Personality/Emotion

Constructionist theories of emotion posit a central role for the body in the experience of emotion, though argue against one-to-one mappings between emotion categories and distinct patterns of physiological activity. Speakers will discuss alternative approaches for examining the role of the body in affective and emotional experience from this perspective.
