{"product_id":"positive-emotion-integrating-the-light-sides-and-dark-sides-9780199926725","title":"Positive Emotion: Integrating the Light Sides and Dark Sides","description":"There has been an explosion of interest on happiness and positive emotion in both the scientific literature and the popular press. While positive emotion is generally considered a source of good outcomes, recent scientific work in psychology has highlighted the ways in which positive emotion\u003cbr\u003efacilitates the pursuit of important goals, contributes to vital social bonds, broadens our scope of attention, and increases psychological and physical well-being. But this wave of interest in positive psychology has to date neglected another important possibility regarding positive emotion--that\u003cbr\u003eit may, under certain conditions, be maladaptive. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHere, Gruber and Moskowitz propose that the field is now ripe to consider the costs, and not just the benefits, of positive emotion. This book offers the first comprehensive exploration of this phenomenon. It offers a comprehensive summary of current theoretical and empirical work on positive\u003cbr\u003eemotion and provides empirical examples of the 'light side' or adaptive benefits of positive emotion according to the degree, context (health, social relationships, coping), and type of adaptive outcome. It also provides empirical examples of the 'dark side' or maladaptive aspects of positive\u003cbr\u003eemotion organized according to the degree, context, type and reasons for pursuing positive emotion in healthy and clinical populations. It discusses therapeutic applications regarding how to cultivate and foster healthy positive emotion, and suggests future research to better understand the nature\u003cbr\u003eof positive emotion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e June Gruber\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/23\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 576\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.10h x 7.30w x 1.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199926725\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJune Gruber is Assistant Professor of Psychology at Yale University. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJudith Tedlie Moskowitz is Professor in Residence, Osher Center for Integrative Medicine, University of California, San Francisco.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":40058167787635,"sku":"9.7802E+12","price":163.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_36ba067f-1846-4b9d-b7b4-c8296a6c3ecf.jpg?v=1651586190","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/positive-emotion-integrating-the-light-sides-and-dark-sides-9780199926725","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
