The Dissolution of the frame problem from the perspective of embodied and enactive intertwinement of affect and cognition
Uslu, Ayşe; Çırakman, Elif; Department of Philosophy (2017)
This dissertation aims to examine whether it is possible to show that there is no emotionless cognition and no emotion without cognition in terms of the meaning-generating role of the body and if this is possible, then how this contributes to dissolution of the frame problem. The main argument of the dissertation is that the dissolution of the frame problem depends on the recognition of the fact that cognition and emotion are embodied processes, and sense-making processes for living-beings are results of th...

Solak, Nevin; Jost, John; Sümer, Nebi; Glore, Gerald (2012-01-01)
Although psychologists have generally conceptualized emotions in light of individual‐ and group‐ level approaches, in the current paper we propose that there are also system‐level emotional events, including both system‐based emotions (experienced as a direct or indirect consequence of system‐level characteristics) and system‐targeted emotions (reflecting evaluations that support or oppose the overarching social system). We begin by discussing how emotions are embedded in the social system and what system‐l...
Exploring the Link Between Emotional and Behavioral Dysregulation: A Test of the Emotional Cascade Model
Tuna, Ezgi; Bozo Özen, Özlem (Informa UK Limited, 2014-01-01)
The emotional cascade model (Selby, Anestis, & Joiner, 2008) posits that the link between emotional and behavioral dysregulation may be through emotional cascades, which are repetitive cycles of rumination and negative affect that result in an intensification of emotional distress. Dysregulated behaviors, such as non-suicidal self-injury, are used to reduce aversive emotions and distract the person from ruminative processes. The aim of the present study was to investigate the emotional cascade model in a no...
