“…At this point, the notion of the “communal or shared” implied by SSE and CA is relevant, as the findings show that the journey occurs when emotions are shared in an equally communal context of threat, strengthening social bonds, but that this process, by itself, does not lead to a resolution of the situations ( Rimé et al, 2020 ). At this stage, an equally communal assessment (or what has been identified as a social appraisal) that would value aspects shared with others that can be expressed in a social identity ( Tajfel et al, 1979 ) that would facilitate the identification of tasks and actions to be shared ( Parkinson, 2019 ) to address such threats would operate. These results also provide guidance on the actions that can be achieved later in such a way that they facilitate the deployment of adaptive collective coping strategies that make it possible to adjust to the needs that arise in other post-disaster phases.…”

The psychosocial impacts of natural disasters are associated with the triggering of negative and positive responses in the affected population; also, such effects are expressed in an individual and collective sphere. This can be seen in several reactions and behaviors that can vary from the development of individual disorders to impacts on interpersonal relationships, cohesion, communication, and participation of the affected communities, among others. The present work addressed the psychosocial impacts of the consequences of natural disasters considering individual effects via the impact of trauma and community effects, through the perception of social well-being, the valuation of the community and the social exchange of emotions. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between individual reactions (i.e., intensity of trauma) and the evaluation of social and collective circumstances (i.e., social well-being) after the earthquake of 27F 2010 in Chile, through collective-type intervention variables not used in previous studies (i.e., social sharing of emotions and community appraisal). For this purpose, a descriptive, ex post facto correlational and cross-sectional methodology was carried on, with the participation of 487 people affected by the 2010 earthquake, 331 women (68%) and 156 men (32%), between 18 and 58 years old (M = 21.09; SD = 5.45), from the provinces of Ñuble and Biobío, VIII region, Chile. The measurement was carried out 4 years after the earthquake and the results show that greater individual than collective involvements were found, mainly in the coastal zone of the region. The mediation analysis showed that the relationship between the intensity of the trauma and social well-being occurs through a route that considers social sharing of emotions and community appraisal. These results indicate that the overcoming of individual affectations to achieve social well-being occurs when in the immediate post-disaster phases the affected communities activate shared emotional and cognitive processes, which allow them to jointly face subsequent threats and abrupt changes.

“…To better capture the complexity and multiplicity of emotion, recently scholars have applied a sociocultural (social constructionist) perspective to emotion, viewing emotion as a learned construct (e.g., Mesquita et al, 2016;Parkinson, 2019), while they have further developed this perspective by adding to it themes from the cognitivist and evolutionary tradition (see Scarantino, 2016, for an overview). When conceptualizing emotion, they follow early research, Gordon (1981), for example, introducing the four features that constitute an emotional experience: '(1) bodily sensations, (2) expressive gestures, (3) social situations or relationships and (4) the emotion culture of a society' (cited in Peterson, 2006, p. 115).…”

Aims: The primary aim of this special issue is to advance theoretical and empirical knowledge about the role of emotion in family language policy (FLP). To better capture the complexity and multiplicity of emotion, the issue brings together five articles that reflect on different aspects of emotions in multilingual families and approach the topic from different perspectives, methods, populations, and settings. Approach: In this paper, we first address the conceptual and theoretical grounds of emotions in multilingual families through an interdisciplinary perspective to integrate recent developments in emotion research in psychology of language learning into FLP framework. We present two distinct ways in which language and emotion intersect in different subdisciplines of linguistics and in various research contexts while we centre on the context of FLP: (1) the language of emotions and (2) emotions about language(s), linguistic repertoire, and language practices. We then introduce the articles in this special issue and address the implications for the pivotal role played by emotion in FLP and their social, cultural aspects (e.g., family ties, identity construction, agency, and socialization). Conclusions: We conclude with a discussion of implications for future research on emotion in the study of FLP and multilingualism. We emphasize the need to treat emotion as one of the individual components of multilingualism and FLP because of its critical role in multilingual parenting and/or caregiving. Originality: This special issue is devoted to a better understanding of emotion in FLP research.This introduction addresses key theoretical and methodological issues in the study of emotion in FLP. It contributes to the need for epistemological vigilance and methodological diversity in investigating emotions in multilingualism and FLP.

“…When the addressee of an emotional speech act is not the target of the communicated emotion, the statement encourages the addressee to align their orientation towards the emotion’s object with the stance taken by the speaker (cf. social referencing; e.g., Parkinson, 2019; Sorce et al, 1985). Thus, communicated anger about a third party normatively constitutes an appeal for emotional corroboration in the form of explicit agreement that the person acted in a reprehensible way and shared anger about their conduct.…”

This article integrates arguments and evidence from my 2019 monograph Heart to Heart: How Your Emotions Affect Other People. The central claim is that emotions operate as processes of relation alignment that produce convergence, complementarity, or conflict between two or more people’s orientations to objects. In some cases, relation alignment involves strategic presentation of emotional information for the purpose of regulating other people’s behaviour. In other cases, emotions consolidate from socially distributed reciprocal adjustments of cues, signals, and emerging actions without any explicit registration or communication of emotional meaning by parties to the exchange. The relation-alignment approach provides a fresh perspective on issues relating to emotion’s interpersonal, intragroup, and organizational functions and clarifies how emotions are regulated for social purposes.
