“…Not much space needs to be dedicated here regarding what is currently thought of as intrapersonal regulation of emotions, due to the many recent publications on the issue, most of them authored or edited by James Gross and/or his collaborators (Gross, 2007; see also Vandekerckhove et al, 2008). Emotion regulation in this school of thought focuses primarily on (often) voluntary efforts to change ongoing or expected emotional episodes of individuals via effortful cognitive and expressive processes—“the process by which individuals influence which emotions they have, when they have them, and how they experience and express these emotions” (Gross, 1998, p. 275).…”

Emotions are evolved systems of intra- and interpersonal processes that are regulatory in nature, dealing mostly with issues of personal or social concern. They regulate social interaction and in extension, the social sphere. In turn, processes in the social sphere regulate emotions of individuals and groups. In other words, intrapersonal processes project in the interpersonal space, and inversely, interpersonal experiences deeply influence intrapersonal processes. Thus, I argue that the concepts of emotion generation and regulation should not be artificially separated. Similarly, interpersonal emotions should not be reduced to interacting systems of intraindividual processes. Instead, we can consider emotions at different social levels, ranging from dyads to large scale e-communities. The interaction between these levels is complex and does not only involve influences from one level to the next. In this sense the levels of emotion/regulation are messy and a challenge for empirical study. In this article, I discuss the concepts of emotions and regulation at different intra- and interpersonal levels. I extend the concept of auto-regulation of emotions (Kappas, 2008, 2011a,b) to social processes. Furthermore, I argue for the necessity of including mediated communication, particularly in cyberspace in contemporary models of emotion/regulation. Lastly, I suggest the use of concepts from systems dynamics and complex systems to tackle the challenge of the “messy layers.”

“…One's ability to control his own emotion is often referred to as self-regulation of emotion. Selfregulation of emotion is an intrinsic experience of managing emotion which then informed on cognitive abilities to provide an influence and emotional feelings over the behavior (Vandekerckhove, Von Scheve, Ismer, Jung, & Kronast, 2008). Emotions occur because there is a stimulus to a person and then reflected in his behavior.…”

“…Bridging these concerns with more social ones, scholars from different disciplines, including psychologists, have explored the link between physiology and the interactional and cultural dynamics of empathy (Peräkylä et al 2015;Vandekerckhove et al 2008). Using a sociological perspective, Peräkylä and collaborators have studied how storytellers and audiences engage in "sharing the emotional load" in interactions, a process that involves empathy.…”

Advancing the Sociology of Empathy: A Proposal

Empathy is an increasingly popular term in the public sphere and in academia. Although the common belief is that empathy is a “psychological” topic, sociologists have made important contributions to this conversation. The goal of this article is to provide a theoretical effort in advancing the sociology of empathy. In the first part of the paper, I review classical and contemporary statements on empathy. I identify Charles H. Cooley as an important precursor of the sociology of empathy, and discuss how contemporary interactionists have further developed this notion. Based on these previous insights, I next propose a preliminary framework for the study of the social construction of empathy. This framework is presented in two steps. First, I introduce a vocabulary based on interpretivist concepts: empathy frames, empathy rules, and empathy performances. Next, I coin the idea of empathy paths. I theorize three ideal‐typical empathy paths: self‐transcendent, therapeutic, and instrumental. Throughout this presentation, I use empirical cases to illustrate the applicability of this framework. In the conclusion, I show how sociologists can inform public understandings of the meaning of empathy.
