A Social Model of Persistent Mood States

Abstract: Social Psychology Quarterly 75(3) 198-218 ®SAGE Long Doan bstract Researchers have used mcods to explain a variety of phenomena, yet the social causes of a mood are unknown. In this article, I present a social model of persistent mood states that argues that interactional characteristics such as the status differences between actors, the perceived responsibility of the other actor, and the reason for an emotional response influence the persistence of an emotional response to a situation. The mechanisms throug… Show more

“…Nevertheless, this focus on the negative side still needs to be expanded since it excludes some of the core and most sociologically relevant affective forces, like grief and sadness (Panksepp & Watt, 2011). Note, for instance, that while there is extensive work on the “sociology of anger” (Collett & Lizardo, 2010; Doan, 2012; Magee & Upenieks, 2017), there is no comparable work on the “sociology of sadness” or the “sociology of grief,” even though the universal and systematic experience of losing a loved one or a valuable good is the main trigger for both (Freed, 2009; Zellner et al., 2011). As such, the odd omission of one of the most common negative emotions, like those based on sadness and grief, related to the loss of strong social bonds or exclusion from social relationships represents a profound gap in sociological knowledge that needs to be corrected.…”

“…Thinking frequently about the events that induced negative emotions may lead to a process of rumination in which individuals continue to rehash and dwell on the negative experience. This process of rumination over the event creates a context in which individuals relive the negative emotional experiences (Doan 2012; Ekman 2003; Nolen-Hoeksema et al 2008). When individuals feel that they cannot stop thinking about negative emotion-inducing events, they may turn to prayer.…”

“…Third, the duration of negative emotional experiences may be associated with the use of prayer to manage emotions. Emotional states can last for a few seconds to several days (Doan 2012). When negative emotional experiences last for extended periods of time, they become ''feeling traps'' (Scheff 1990), where the original emotion influences subsequent interactions such that it prolongs the experience of the original emotion.…”

“…Using ideas from affect control theory in conjunction with other theories of identity and self, Doan (2012) developed and tested a model identifying the factors and mechanisms through which ephemeral emotions become persistent moods. Employing Interact computer simulations to explore empirical connections between affect control theory and expectations states theory, Dippong (2013) found that attempts to reduce deflection through behavior may result in changes in expectations over the course of an interaction.…”
