An excellent review of past treatments of emotion by psychologists and
physiologists may be found in Chapters XI and XII of Woodworth
Experimental psychology ( 1938); and you may find interesting the
related chapters (X and XIII) dealing with feeling and the galvanic
skin response. It will also pay you to read the discussions of emotional
'expression' ( Landis) and the physiological theory of emotion (Bard)
in the Handbook of general experimental psychology, edited by Carl Murchison
. For an account of the James-Lange theory of emotion,
you ought to go to that written by James himself in his Principles of
psychology, Vol. II, Chapter 25 ( 1890). The most inclusive modern text
on emotion is Young Emotion in man and animal ( 1943). The intrinsic
interest and readability of these accounts should not blind you to the
fact that they do not attempt a systematic behavioral analysis of the
problem-one that is free of mentalism and physiology.
