Escalation in Failed Military Interventions: Saudi and Emirati Quagmires in Yemen

AbstractExternal interventions are an enduring feature of international relationships. While the causes for interventions have been at the heart of studies on interventions, the dynamics of termination versus escalation have received little attention. This article poses the question: why do intervenors persist in failed military interventions despite diminishing prospects of victory? Whereas some scholars adhered to rational choice approaches, others focused on cognitive and emotional psychology to explain seemingly puzzling decisions at the origin of war continuation. This article builds on the emerging literature on status in IR to unravel the escalation of commitment to a failed war. It argues that when leaders engage their own status and that of their countries to an eventual success in a military intervention, persistence in the war becomes the only solution to salvage their status. Through this lens, this article presents an explanation for Saudi and Emirati escalations in what was planned as a brief operation in Yemen since 2015. Understanding the dynamics of persisting in failed wars has clear implications for the development of international relations theory, the conduct of regional powers in military interventions, and the practice of conflict resolution in the Middle East and beyond.

THE ROLE OF TOURIST EMOTION IN DESTINATION LOYALTY

Dominant role of tourist emotions as an inescapable element in tourism experience has been widely acknowledged. The purpose of this paper is to develop a conceptual idea on tourist emotion to address inadequacy of the past studies to incorporate characteristic of marketing to determine destination loyalty. Emotion and destination loyalty is an important concept in destination marketing being capable to address switching behavior and variety seeking nature among tourist. This paper discussed various theoretical elements regarding the use of emotion which was originally borrowed from the field of psychology and the need for context specific emotion to accurately capture tourist related emotions. This discussion denotes the key differences in the use of emotion in psychology and tourism. It further proposed a set of direction for future research employing emotion in tourism should be heading in order to better position to predict destination loyalty. This paper also discussed various underpinning theories, limitation and practical implication for academia and policy makers. KEYWORDS: Tourist emotion, loyalty, experience, destination.

The Chieti Affective Action Videos database, a resource for the study of emotions in psychology

The Chieti Affective Action Videos (CAAV) is a new database designed for the experimental study of emotions in psychology. The main goal of the CAAV is to provide a wide range of standardized stimuli based on two emotional dimensions: valence and arousal. The CAAV is the first database to present emotional stimuli through videos of actions filmed and developed specifically for experimental research. 444 young adults were recruited to evaluate this database, which consisted of a sub-set of 90 actions filmed in four versions, for a total of 360 videos. The four versions differ based on the gender of the main actor (male or female) and in the perspective in which each action was shot (first-person or third-person). CAAV validation procedure highlighted a distribution of different stimuli based on valence and arousal indexes. The material provided by CAAV can be used in future experimental studies investigating the role of emotions, perception, attention, and memory in addition to the study of differences between gender and perspective taking.

Predictive Processing of Interoception, Decision-Making, and Allostasis

Emotional intelligence is composed of a set of emotional abilities, including recognition of emotional states in the self and others, the use of emotions to guide thoughts and behaviours, and emotion regulation. Previous studies have demonstrated that emotional intelligence is associated with mental health, social problem solving, interpersonal relationship quality, and academic and job performance. Although emotional intelligence has received much interest both in basic research fields and applied and clinical fields, the mechanisms underlying the functions of emotional intelligence remain unclear. The aim of the present article was to consider the mechanisms of emotional intelligence using a computational approach. Recent theories of emotion in psychology and neuroscience have emphasized the importance of predictive processing. It has been proposed that the brain createsinternal models that can provide predictions for sensation and motor movement, and perception and behaviors emerge from Bayesian computations rooted in these predictions. This theoretical framework has been expanded to include interoceptive perception of the internal body to explain affect and decision-making as phenomena based on interoception. This perspective has implications for understanding issues of emotional intelligence.

ВИЗУАЛЬНЫЕ ПРОЯВЛЕНИЯ ГНЕВА, СТРАХА И НЕКОТОРЫХ ДРУГИХ ТРАГИЧЕСКИХ ЭМОЦИЙ В АЛТАРНОЙ ЖИВОПИСИ НИДЕРЛАНДОВ И ГЕРМАНИИ XV – НАЧАЛА XVI ВВ.

The most tragic emotions were perceived usually as antisocial in the Middle Ages. There was often the link between the emotions and the seven dead sins. However, the perception of these emotions could change under the influence of the situation. Sometimes tragic emotions could become logical or even useful for an individual. This aspect in the visualization of such feelings drew the spectator‘s attention especially in the Renaissance altarpieces. That is worthy to consider some fundamental emotions such as anger, sorrow, fear and so on in the context of the German and Netherlandish masters ‘works of the 15th – early 16th centuries. The main topics of the considered masterpieces are the Passion of Christ and the Last Judgment. The interdisciplinary nature of this paper allows to broaden the understanding of how compositional techniques, the color choice and even the format of the picture affect the visualization of emotions in religious works. Some Netherlandish and German masters had a narrative aim creating a scene from the cycle of the Passion of Christ, others – an expressive-symbolic aim. However, the analysis of the works of the 15th – 16th centuries’ artists considering the psychology of emotions provides new opportunities for understanding the artistic and social context of the existence of the altarpiece.

Dimensione corporea emozionale nell'atto comunicativo : come le emozioni contribuiscono al messaggio

The intent of this paper is to analyze the contribution of emotions, as an act of nonverbal communication, to sensemaking. Actually, the focus of our analysis is not on the psychology of emotions but rather on the semantics and pragmatics of facial expressions, which encode emotions and/or the state of mind, and how facial expressions communicate meaningfully. To study this empirically, an advertisement of the Swiss bank CLER, whose message is completely based on nonverbal communication, was presented to 20 students of the Faculty of Communication Sciences of Università della Svizzera italiana (USI). The qualitative analysis of the acquired data shows how the bodily expressions of emotions, called affect displays (Ekman & Friesen 1969), transport directly, effectively and efficiently a meaning.

Linguopsychology Based on the Methods of Cognitive Studies: The Lexicographic Aspect

This article focuses on linguopsychology, a new interdisciplinary branch of linguistics which shares the subject matter with psychology and relies on the methods of cognitive studies. The author describes the stages of its establishment, examining the specifics of studying emotions, the role of their categorisation, and how the corresponding research results could be reflected in ideographic dictionaries. The aim of the research is to reveal the patterns underlying the categorisation of emotions based on cognitive technologies used in linguopsychology when interpreting emotions-related vocabulary to describe its systemic organisation with reference to the principle of multiple paradigms and reflecting research results in the form of ideographic dictionaries. For the purposes of the research, the author employs a number of methods of linguistic and linguo-cognitive analysis, carrying out a theoretical analysis of linguopsychology as a separate subject area; empirically, the study of emotive vocabulary relies on structural and semantic, denotative and ideographic, paradigmatic, componential, definitional, and conceptual and cognitive discourse analyses. The results of the research are presented according to lexicographic parameters. At the final stage of the research, the author categorises the emotive vocabulary according to a number of aspects (singling out around 21 000 words) and compiles a new ideographic dictionary An Alphabet of Emotions: A Thesaurus of Emotive Vocabulary . In the dictionary, referring to cognitive technologies and strategies, the vocabulary is divided into 39 thematic groups reflecting the basic emotion of the Russian person, and 312 subgroups denoting their variations. Employing linguistic methods and referring to the principle of multiple paradigms and a complex of research aspects, the author provides the first ever multicategory classification of emotive vocabulary which is reflected in the global structure of the new dictionary, with denotative ideographic groups at the top ( Inspiration ( Rus . вдохновение), Sorrow ( Rus . горе), Joy ( Rus . радость), etc.) which fall into subgroups taking into account some regular parameters employed for the interpretation of emotions, i.e . emotional state , attitude , formation of emotions , influence , outer expression , characterisation , quality , and individual as a bearer of emotions . The materials of the publication may be useful both to linguists and to specialists in the psychology of emotions. Additionally, the results of the research may be used for further studies in different fields, i.e. linguopsychology, linguistic cognitive studies, and lexicography as well as in courses focusing on the examination of the inner world of an individual.

Shaming interrogatives: Admonishments, the social psychology of emotion, and discursive practices of behaviour modification in family mealtimes.

This paper contributes to the study of admonishments, the operation of shaming in family interaction, and more broadly presses the virtue of a discursive psychological reconsideration of the social psychology of emotion. It examines the methodological basis of contemporary research on shame in experimental and qualitative social psychology, illustrated through the Test of Self‐Conscious Affect (TOSCA) and qualitative work using shame narratives. Doubts are raised about how these methods can throw light on shaming practices in natural situations. The study uses a collection of video recordings of family mealtimes, focusing on admonishment sequences in which parents address the interrogatives ‘what are you doing’ or ‘what did I say’ to a ‘misbehaving’ child. Despite the interrogative syntax, rather than soliciting information we show that these interrogative forms pursue behaviour change by publicly highlighting both the problem behaviour and the child’s active and intentional production of that behaviour. This is the sense in which the practice can be understood as shaming. Although this practice prosecutes shaming, ways in which the children can ignore, push back, or rework parents’ actions are highlighted. This study contributes to a broader consideration of how enduring behavioural change can be approached as a parents’ project.

Studying Emotions in Security and Diplomacy: Where We Are Now and Challenges Ahead

The core objective of this special issue has been to shed light on emotions as (1) frames that shape interpersonal diplomatic relations, (2) as key tools that are used as part of the statecraft's toolbox, and (3) as formative/productive dynamics with real effects on human beings—that, in turn, often construct and maintain conflicts. It is therefore pertinent that we interrogate the political psychology of individual, collective, mass, and communal emotions and how these are often (mis)used in diplomacy and security narratives to legitimize politicians' decisions and practices. This concluding article provides a state of the art account of the study of emotions in International Relations (IR), sums up the main findings from all special issue contributions and constructively explores potential challenges ahead for the study of emotions in IR, especially in security and diplomacy studies. It concludes with an appeal for the development of a multiperspective approach—that is, one that combines social sciences, natural sciences, and humanities—for a nuanced study of the role of emotional work in state, diplomatic as well as security narratives and practices. This approach will in turn require methodological pluralism in how we go about, as reflexive researchers, our emotional research.

An Emotional Response to the Value of Visualization.

When assessing the value of visualizations, researchers traditionally focus on efficiency, comprehension, or insight. However, analyzing successful data physicalizations leads to a deep appreciation for hedonic qualities. Informed by the role of emotion in psychology, art, design, marketing, and HCI, we argue for an expanded definition of value, applicable to all forms of data visualization.

Emotions in classroom language learning: What can we learn from achievement emotion research?

Research on emotions and second language (L2) learning has proceeded for four decades, and L2 scholars have made important contributions in this overshadowed research area. However, advances in the field have failed to match the more general research on emotion and learning in psychology and education that has proven beneficial for understanding a broad range of emotions experienced in educational settings and has direct implications for classroom teaching. Specifically, the control-value theory (CVT) of achievement emotion, which addresses the origins and functions of diverse emotions in education, has gained strong momentum and emerged as a useful theoretical framework, although it is largely unknown and unused by L2 researchers. The present article aims to introduce the concept of achievement emotions into the L2 context and bridge the gaps between these two fields of emotion research. We first review research on emotions in second language acquisition (SLA) and identify crucial areas for improvement. Then, we discuss theory, measurement, and empirical studies related to the construct of achievement emotions. In conclusion, we call for an integration of research on achievement emotions with the field of emotions and instructed SLA and highlight the potential benefits of such an endeavor.

Feasible Options for Behavior Change Toward More Effective Ocean Literacy: A Systematic Review

Effective ocean literacy requires appropriate individual behavior, but achieving this – based on behavior change - is extremely difficult. Social-psychological research shows that even generating knowledge and awareness towards protecting the environment - including the oceans - very rarely produces behavior change. The correlation between knowledge and behavior change is demonstrably surprisingly low. Based upon a systematic interdisciplinary literature review, this article evaluates the factors constituting behavior that are important for ocean literacy. Furthermore, it includes an analysis of options for individual behavior change. The literature review covers research and theories from behavioral sciences such as social, environmental, and emotional psychology, as well as from other social sciences. Specifically, research on pro-environmental behavior is evaluated and applied to the specific case of ocean-related behaviors and ocean literacy. As a result, the model of pro-environmental behavior by Kollmuss and Agyeman has successfully been transferred to increase the effectiveness of ocean literacy because it considers internal (e.g. emotions and values) and external factors (e.g. politico-economic and socio-cultural), which are crucial to achieve behavior change. Further results show that the theoretical analysis of different influence factors of ocean related behavior help to identify options to enhance ocean literacy, partially not yet broadly applied in this field, such as reputation-based incentives, social marketing, and successfully diffusing social change, which is illustrated within two examples of success stories. Nevertheless, improvements remain challenging due to barriers identified on the individual level (e.g. cognitive dissonance and moral disengagement) and adverse political and economic power relations in light of rapidly increasing environmental problems in our oceans.

Rethinking emotion in discursive psychology: A systemic functional perspective

Emotion, as a classic topic in psychological studies, has been intensively investigated by scholars across disciplines. In discursive psychology, emotion discourse refers to the rich variety and situated uses of emotion words and metaphors. Many studies of emotion in discursive psychology focus on the rhetorical contrasts of emotion. Conceptual analysis is another significant part of emotion discourse, and one that requires further investigation. To reveal how people describe and evoke emotions in discourse, this article starts with a reinterpretation of emotion in discursive psychology, followed by setting up an emotion system from a systemic functional perspective to illustrate how conceptual analysis may be conducted and rhetorical contrasts explored. During the process of establishing the emotion system, the paper elaborates upon the emotion concept and rhetorical contrasts on the basis of four illustrative examples taken from authentic extracts (including news and testimonies). The paper discusses the purpose behind the construction of the emotion system in terms of (1) the constituents in conceptual analysis and rhetorical contrasts of discursive psychology from a functional perspective, (2) the collaboration between conceptual analysis and rhetorical contrasts, (3) the traits of the emotion system as a method of discursive psychology analysis.

De l'énaction à l'émersion : la voie du corps vivant. Introduction au dossier

From Enaction to Emersion: the Way of Living Body. Body ecology explores the direct relationship of the living body and its nervous system with their environment, especially during immersion in natural, artificial or virtual environments. The activation of the body is the activation of the nervous and sensitive part of the living body under the effect of ecologization. Emersiology proposes to analyze the emersion of the living body in the consciousness of the lived body. Emersion is the involuntary movement in our body of networks, moods and images about which our consciousness knows only the emerged part of. In this issue of Intellectica, we question the modalities of the activation of the living part of our body whose knowledge is not immediately accessible to us. Some authors question here this ecological and unconscious treatment of neurobiological signals (emotions, gestures, movements), so that subjects learn from their living body; while others would like to transform the awareness of experience or cognition by what will have been awakened by the activity of the living (by technologies, emerging logic, attention focusing, neuro-imagery etc.). Indeed, certain activities, often made possible by recent technical developments, are able to participate in the activation of the living body and to produce enabling effects on neural networks. The concepts proposed by emersiology are obviously related to others belonging to different disciplines or theoretical currents such as the neurobiological phenomenology of action, enactivism, embodied cognition, neurosciences and psychology of emotions, of attention and awareness. This issue therefore brings together contributions of a theoretical and/or experimental nature which are concerned with philosophical, psychological and neuro-scientific aspects concerning practices involving the activation of the living body, in particular by the use of hybridization devices or technical remedies.

Decoding and understanding the causes of emotions

An attempt to analyse mental representations of basic emotions – joy and fear – is made in terms of child-parent relations. On the basis of theoretical analysis the possible levels and components in the views of parents about the emotions of preschool children are identified. The importance and significance of parents' knowledge about the causes and patterns of emotional behaviour in children are indicated. The scheme of the pilot study is proposed, the procedure of the survey based on written verbal reports is described. The qualitative-quantitative, comparative analysis of the selected units in the mental representations of parents about the reasons for the demonstration and the basis for their recognition (decoding) is given. The proposed thesaurus of situations that contribute to experiencing emotions of joy, fear. The main patterns in the demonstration of emotional behaviour of children, according to parental representations are revealed. The data obtained correlate with the results of previous studies on problems in the field of child-parent relations, psychology of emotions and can be applied in practice.

The promotion role of mobile online education platform in students' self-learning

In order to solve the problem that traditional mobile online education platform can not provide personalised recommendation according to students' own situation and neglect students' learning emotion. A new mobile education platform was designed, and the role of the mobile online education platform in promoting students' self-learning was analysed. The education platform is designed using a C/S structure. It is composed of application layer, service layer and storage layer. The nearest neighbour set is formed by the FRUTAI method, and the user data filling of mobile online education platform is completed. The user's score information is used to get neighbour users and complete personalised recommendation. According to the relationship between expression and emotion in emotional psychology, the recognition module of expression information is processed to identify the expression, and the students' emotional state is obtained. According to the mapping relationship between learning state and two-dimensional emotional space, students' learning state and evaluation results are obtained. This paper analyses the role of mobile online education platform in promoting students' self-learning, and draws a conclusion that the design of mobile online education platform can improve students' interest in learning, increase students' self-learning time and enhance students' self-learning ability.
