| Abstract: | Suggests that behaviorism, psychoanalysis, and cognitive theory each relegate affect to the status of a dependent variable. The "cognitive revolution" emancipated the study of cognition from its cooption and distortion by behaviorism and by psychoanalytic theory. An "affect revolution" is now required to emancipate this radical new development from an overly imperialistic cognitive theory. The present author's theory is presented as a critique and as a remedy for this situation. (44 ref) (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) |
