Valence, Mixed Feelings, and Appraisal Processes 👉 #PsycSci #AffectSci
New paper out in *Topoi*, co-authored with Daniel Dukes and David Sander!
We explore how appraisal theories of emotion can explain valence and, in particular, mixed feelings—how a single affective experience can feel good and bad at the same time.
