Sociology of Emotions Exam Practice Tests
Course Introduction
Sociology of Emotions explores the ways in which emotions are shaped, regulated, and interpreted within social contexts. The course examines how emotions are not just individual psychological experiences, but also social phenomena influenced by cultural norms, social structures, and group interactions. Students will analyze theories of emotion from classical and contemporary sociological perspectives, investigate how emotions are expressed, controlled, and utilized in various social institutions, and consider the role emotions play in social movements, identity formation, and everyday social interactions.
