Abstract
This chapter describes how Rom Harre’s intellectual journey led him to play a role in changing how psychologists understand and study emotion. The edited volume he published in 1986, The Social Construction of Emotions, presented a compelling alternative to the predominant 1980s psychological conception of emotion as primitive and pan-cultural. Harre’s ethogenic approach, combined with his wide-ranging knowledge of current research across a spectrum of disciplines, allowed him to challenge that conception with a social constructionist alternative. After Harre’s move to Georgetown University in the late 1980’s, he continued working on emotion with me, and this chapter concludes by describing our collaboration and friendship.
