Sociology of Emotions Practice Exam
Course Introduction
Sociology of Emotions examines the ways in which emotions are socially constructed, experienced, and regulated within different cultural and institutional contexts. The course explores how individual feelings are influenced by social interactions, group dynamics, and societal norms, as well as the role emotions play in shaping identity, power relationships, and collective behavior. Students will analyze key theories and research on emotional labor, the embodiment of emotion, and the ways emotions contribute to social change and cohesion, fostering a critical understanding of the interplay between personal affect and social structure.
