Feelings : the perception of self

Feelings : the perception of self / James D. Laird.

Examining the link between feelings and behaviour, this text argues that feelings are not the cause of behaviour but rather its consequences. It presents research into feelings across the spectrum, from anger to joy to fear to romantic love, that support this against-the-grain view.
