Purpose of the Study:

  • To clarify the nature of the cognitive appraisal-emotion relationship.
  • To distinguish between conceptual/empirical and descriptive/causal, contingent/necessary hypotheses.
  • To propose future research directions.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing evidence on appraisal-emotion connections.
  • Distinguishing between different types of appraisal-emotion hypotheses.
  • Theoretical analysis and proposal of new perspectives.

Main Results:

  • Limited support for empirical rather than conceptual appraisal-emotion relations.
  • Limited support for necessary rather than contingent appraisal-emotion relations.
  • Appraisals may represent the message value of interpersonally directed emotions.

Conclusions:

  • The appraisal-emotion link is likely conceptual and contingent.
  • Further research requires precise specification of appraisal processes in real-time emotional episodes.
  • An interpersonal message-value perspective offers a new research avenue.
