Human Emotion: Course Description
UC Berkeley's 'Human Emotion' course, developed by Professor Dacher Keltner, introduces the major theories of the science of emotion. Starting with a psychological history, Professor Keltner's lectures explore scientific methods, issues and recent developments in this relatively new branch of science. A series of lectures on the communication of emotions explores the similarities of emotions across cultures. Other lectures focus on the development of emotions in childhood and how emotions affect mental health in both children and adults. The relationship between emotions and brain functions is also discussed. Understanding Emotions by Keith Oatley, Dacher Keltner and Jennifer M. Jenkins is the recommended text for this course.
