Document Summary
Power and dalgleish use an appraisal model that utilizes the discrete approach to the study of emotions. Sadness: loss or failure (actual or possible) of valued goal. Happiness or joy: successful move towards or completion of a valued goal. Anger: blocking or frustration of a valued goal through a perceived agent. Fear or anxiety: physical or social threat (possibility of not obtaining goals) to self or valued goals. Disgust: elimination or distancing from person, object, or idea repulsive to the self and to valued goals. Power and dalgleish contend that cognitive appraisal is used in generating the emotion of anger. Specifically, they contend that anger is a moral emotion and defining anger in terms of goals alone ignores the importance of the role of cognition (specifically attribution) in making an appraisal that generates anger. Two components of the cognitive appraisal: a core appraisal and a moral appraisal. The moral appraisal involves attributions of intent, negligence, accountability, or blame.
