“…They also suggest that perception and resource factors do not operate in “a vacuum” while influencing Polish healthcare personnel’s psychological well-being; they are strongly interconnected with coping processes. It highlights the interplay of cognition (risk perception) and motivation (meaning-based resources) in managing stressful events and contributing to successful adaptation to stressors [ 51 ]. Problem-focused and meaning-focused coping is thus a dynamic process that varies according to one’s cognitive appraisal and personal resources, and, consequently, regulates psychological well-being.…”

The well-being of healthcare personnel during the COVID-19 pandemic depends on the ways in which they perceive the threat posed by the virus, personal resources, and coping abilities. The current study aims to examine the mediating role of coping strategies in the relationship between risk perception of COVID-19 and psychological well-being, as well as the relationship between meaning-based resources and psychological well-being amongst healthcare personnel in southern Poland. Two hundred and twenty-six healthcare personnel who worked in hospitals, outpatient clinics, and medical laboratories during the first few months of the coronavirus pandemic (March‒May 2020) filled in questionnaires measuring risk perception of COVID-19, meaning-based resources, coping, and psychological well-being. The results demonstrate that risk perception was negatively related to psychological well-being, whereas meaning-based resources were positively associated with well-being. Two coping strategies—problem-focused and meaning-focused coping—mediated the relationship between risk perception and psychological well-being as well as the relationship between meaning-based resources and psychological well-being. This indicates that perception processes and personal factors do not directly influence healthcare personnel’s psychological well-being, but rather they do indirectly through coping processes.

“…However, this principle has not yet been applied to positive emotions. Previous taxonomies of positive emotions consider only a subset of eudaimonic emotions (Shiota et al, 2017;Tong & Jia, 2017;Weidman & Tracy, 2020;Yih et al, 2020). To address this gap, I propose a taxonomy of eudaimonic emotions that differentiates between feeling-specific and elicitor-specific emotions.…”

“…The extant literature on these eudaimonic emotions is somehow dissatisfactory because it typically focuses on one of these concepts while ignoring the literature on the respective other concepts. Attempts to compare or integrate the types of eudaimonic emotions consider only a subset of the relevant concepts (e.g., Algoe & Haidt, 2009;Konečni, 2005;Shiota et al, 2017;Stellar et al, 2017;Tong & Jia, 2017;Weidman & Tracy, 2020;Yih, Kirby, & Smith, 2020). However, an integration of eudaimonic emotions is strongly needed: As outlined below, the concepts largely overlap.…”

The Bright and Dark Side of Eudaimonic Emotions: A Conceptual Framework

Based on a review of eudaimonic emotion concepts, definitional and empirical overlaps between the concepts are identified and a framework of eudaimonic emotions is developed. The framework proposes that feelings of elevation, awe, tenderness, and being moved can be differentiated based on their feeling components, thus constituting the feeling-specific types of eudaimonic emotions. A variety of other emotion concepts rely on reference to their elicitors, such as moral elevation (i.e., being moved by moral virtue), aesthetic awe (i.e., being moved by beauty), kama muta (i.e., being moved by communal sharing) and admiration (i.e., being moved by achievements), thus constituting elicitor-specific types of eudaimonic emotions. Structuring eudaimonic emotions along these lines allows for integrating research on these emotions. This integration leads to the proposition of general eudaimonic effects and value-specific effects of positive eudaimonic emotions on behaviour. Considering these effects can enhance understanding of how positive eudaimonic emotions affect pro-social intentions—the bright side of being moved—as well as the manipulating effects of propaganda—the dark side of being moved.

“…The PANACEAS model is not necessarily comprehensive with regard to positive emotion categories, but the approach of considering common evocative situations among discrete emotions is a promising one in terms of understanding discrete emotion functions. A second, less relevant effort by Yih et al [54 ] identified unique profiles in the appraisals, motivations, and coping patterns for 12 positive emotions. However, the emotions were predetermined, so the goal of their endeavor was not so much to identify emotion categories as to determine how familiar positive emotions differ along various dimensions, organized around each emotion's motivational function.…”

This paper considers the principles of a functionalist perspective with regard to positive emotions. We discuss various ways that positive emotions have been studied historically and how these approaches bear on discussions of function. We then cover more recent attempts to categorize positive emotions and make recommendations for future endeavors. Our aim is not to pick and promote an existing view of emotions but rather to demarcate the various perspectives through which emotion scientists have viewed the question of function, which have in turn driven research on positive emotions. Taken together, this paper provide a brief introduction to the possible ways of focusing one's scope when viewing the function of positive emotions.
