Biography

Simone Belli is a Professor of Social Psychology at the Complutense University of Madrid. His research is focused on understanding why emotions have a strong relationship with language, and how it is possible to express these emotions in online/offline spaces and intercultural contexts.

"This book provides a very worthwhile review of influential investigations and critical perspectives to the psychology of emotion. Moreover, Belli identifies some emerging theoretical trends and methodological challenges for the present and the near future of research in the field of psychology of emotion, especially with respect to emotion analysis in digital environments. In line with the interdisciplinary spirit that inspires Critical Approaches to the Psychology of Emotion, this is essential reading not only for students, scholars, and practitioners of social psychology, but also for researchers from
other related disciplines such as sociology, sociolinguistics, anthropology, and philosophy."
