Abstract

Abstract: Emotions are one of the essences of the human condition. While psychologists might argue that emotions are personal, sociologists argue that emotions are social and cultural. Our relationship with others induces various feelings of emotions in response to everyday events such as crying, laughing, embarrassing etc. Social roles, norms, and feelings are therefore integral parts to explaining questions as to what constitutes the emotion besides our personal feelings. In other words, our emotions may not be entirely personal after all. Individuals may mold their emotions in response to their various roles in society. In this article, therefore, we aim to provide introduction of the sociology of emotions by reviewing wide range of literatures.
