| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Although most researchers state that emotion is a difficult concept to define to compare with cognition and behavior, what is being called a functionalist approach proposes that emotion is easy to define such as cognition and behavior. Emotion occurs whenever an event is encountered which is significant to the person. What makes an event significant is the relation between an event and one of four fundamental axioms: 1) how the event relates to a person’s goals, 2) how an event links up with the hedonic state of the person, 3) how an event relates to the social reactions of another person, 4) how an event relates to the prior experiences of an individual. In the study, we intend to propose cogently the basic principles of a functionalist approach, how it differs from the orthodox approach, how it is relevant to the contemporary interest in the relation among social cognition, emotion, and behavior, and how it can be examined in experiments systematically in infancy and childhood.
