“…There are comprehensive lists of component changes for emotions such as awe (Yaden et al, 2019), envy (Lange et al, 2018), or shame (Gausel et al, 2012). Moreover, lots of research used prototype approaches for specific emotions (e.g., Luo et al, 2020; Shaver et al, 1987), which results in an exhaustive list of central and noncentral components. Research in the distinct emotion tradition often aimed at identifying shared and unique components of multiple emotions (e.g., Campos et al, 2013).…”

A widespread perspective describes emotions as distinct categories bridged by fuzzy boundaries, indicating that emotions are distinct and dimensional at the same time. Theoretical and methodological approaches to this perspective still need further development. We conceptualize emotions as overlapping networks of causal relationships between emotion components—networks representing distinct emotions share components with and relate to each other. To investigate this conceptualization, we introduce network analysis to emotion research and apply it to the reanalysis of a data set on multiple positive emotions. Specifically, we describe the estimation of networks from data, and the detection of overlapping communities of nodes in these networks. The network perspective has implications for the understanding of distinct emotions, their co-occurrence, and their measurement.

“…Most prior research on hope and hopelessness has focused on the valence (positive vs. negative) appraisal and outcomes associated with these emotional states (e.g., Elster, 1998; Forgas, 1995; Higgins, 1997). In the case of hope, research has shown that it is experienced as a pleasant emotion that leads individuals to approach and stay committed to achieving their desired outcomes (Lazarus, 1999; Luo et al., 2020; MacInnis & Mello, 2005). This emotion encompasses optimism and positive future expectations (Scioli et al., 1997; Smith et al., 1993).…”

This research provides a novel analysis of the impact of hope and hopelessness on judgment, examining how they influence the use of judgment‐relevant thoughts. Hope and hopelessness are two ends of an emotional continuum for which the confidence and pleasantness appraisals are mismatched. That is, hope is appraised as a pleasant state that is associated with uncertainty. In contrast, hopelessness is appraised as an unpleasant state that is associated with confidence. The aim of this research is to show that these appraisals are critical for predicting how these emotions influence the impact of thoughts on attitudes. In three experiments we manipulated these emotions along with their appraisals and examined the impact on thought reliance and attitude change toward healthy and unhealthy foods, people with disabilities, and self‐evaluation. It was predicted and found that when a pleasantness appraisal was salient, hope increased the use of thoughts relative to hopelessness. In contrast, when a confidence appraisal was salient, hopelessness increased the use of thoughts compared to hope.

“…Typically categorized as a positive emotion, it often occurs in the midst of negative or uncertain circumstances (Bruininks, 2012 ). Hope is also a cognitive construct which translates the belief that a positive future outcome is possible (Luo et al, 2020 ). Hope promotes a greater sense of social connectedness (Sibley et al, 2020 ) and adherence to positive values such as benevolence and universality (Ma et al, 2019 ), and strengthens the link to groups that respondents belong to such as family, communities, or countries (Greenaway, 2020 ).…”

Introduction: A pandemic with the severity of COVID-19 affects people's lives physically, as well as their daily routines, views of the world, and emotional balance. Lockdown is often an unpleasant experience due to a separation from loved ones, loss of freedom, and uncertainty over the disease status. To adjust, individuals and groups have had to adapt their perceptions of the event to the current scenario. This study aims to describe the perceptions of confined people on the changes occurring in their lives in the aftermath of the COVID-19 lockdown.Methods: A total of 1,534 individuals (26.6% men; 73.4% women; mean age 41.6) responded to the questionnaire comprising 19 closed and five open-ended questions about the changes they anticipated in their lives in the immediate post-confinement era.Results: Two definite groups appeared in the results: those who lived the confinement pleasantly, and those for which it was painful. They differ according to their confinement conditions and perceived degree of exposure to the virus. There seems to be a link for those who had a pleasant experience to a lower perceived exposure to the virus and less burdensome confinement conditions (young children, surface area, etc.). Lockdown conditions seem to influence the respondents' perceptions: a pleasant experience is associated with a vision of the society's evolution at large, and the care about its economic and professional progress; a painful one is associated more with focusing on the immediate needs of social support and personal well-being.Discussion: Emotional experience during lockdown impacts the perception of its aftermath, with hope and anxiety becoming two ways of coping with uncertainty.
