Funded Activity Summary

The cognitive and motivational consequences of affect in interpersonal behavior. Affect plays a major role in health and social adjustment and has a marked influence on many everyday behaviours, yet the mechanisms linking affect to thinking and behaviour remain poorly understood. These studies will produce a national and community benefit by contributing to our understanding of how affect influences thinking and behaviour. The project will develop a new, comprehensive theory of affective influences and the real-life consequences of affect in relationships, health, organisational, educational, marketing and clinical settings will also be explored. The project will contribute to Australia's research capability by training doctoral and postdoctoral students, and fostering international research collaboration.
