Abstract

Ovaj rad bavi se kompleksnom temom emocija, koja je izazovna za istraživanje zbog teškoće definiranja i mjerenja. Tradicionalno, emocije su se promatrale kao unutrašnje i osobne reakcije pa nije čudno što su se većinom istraživale kroz prizmu psihologije. Međutim nakon Hochschildove kulturalne analize emocija iz 1983., došlo je do razvoja novih teorijskih pristupa istraživanja emocija iz sociološke perspektive. Glavno pitanje koje je mučilo sociologe koji su proučavali emocije bilo je: jesu li emocije društveno konstruirane ili su rezultat biološke evolucije? U raspravi su se izdvojila dva suprotstavljena gledišta: biologističko, koje naglašava biološke osnove emocija, i konstruktivističko, koje ističe društvenu konstrukciju emocija.
Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je analizirati dosadašnje sociološke pristupe emocijama i istaknuti njihovu važnost u društvenom kontekstu. Rad se fokusira na pokušaj definiranja emocija. Klaus Schererov model komponentnog procesnog modela emocija koristi se kao osnovna referenca. Također istražuju se različiti afektivni fenomeni poput osjećaja, raspoloženja i stavova, te kako se oni razlikuju od emocija. Posebna pažnja posvećena je razlikovanju primarnih emocija, koje su univerzalne za sva ljudska bića, od sekundarnih emocija koje su u većoj mjeri društveno konstruirane.

Abstract (english)

This paper addresses the complex topic of emotions, which has been a challenging research field due to the difficulty of defining and measuring them. Traditionally, emotions have been viewed as internal and personal reactions, so it is not surprising that they have predominantly been studied through the lens of psychology. However, following Hochschild's cultural analysis of emotions in 1983, new theoretical approaches to the study of emotions from a sociological perspective began to develop. The main question that has troubled sociologists studying emotions has been: Are emotions socially constructed or the result of a biological evolution? The debate has highlighted two opposing views: the biological perspective, which emphasizes the biological foundations of emotions, and the constructivist perspective, which underscores the social construction of emotions. The aim of this research paper was to analyze existing sociological approaches to emotions and to emphasize their importance in the social context. The paper focuses on the attempt to define emotions. Klaus Scherer's component process model of emotions is used as the primary reference. Additionally, various affective phenomena such as feelings, moods, and attitudes are explored, as well as how they differ from emotions. Special attention is given to distinguishing between primary emotions, which are universal to all human beings, and secondary emotions, which are more socially constructed.
