This series addresses the nature and expression of emotion and the process of social interaction. It is intended to be an easily identifiable resource for scholars and students with shared mathodological concerns whose work derives from historically separate research traditions in psychology, anthropology, psychiatry, etiology, sociology, linguistics, and semiotics.
