In this session, we discuss Beate Seibt's article draft "What are Emotions about? The Need-Affect Theory of Emotions", as she lays out an integrative emotion theory bridging constructionist, basic emotion, and appraisal approaches.
After building a generic model of affect elicitation, Seibt considers the different needs that are relevant for emotions, and compares them with established theoretical approaches.
