Description: "The works presented examine how groups influence individual member's emotional experiences; in turn, how a group's success depends on the emotions and emotional capabilities of its members; how moods and emotions mediate the effects of demographic diversity in groups and the emergence of intra-group conflict; the affective attachment individuals feel to their groups; and how emotions foster divisions between groups, organizations, or even societies. This book is of interest to anyone seeking to better understand group dynamics, the social nature of moods and emotions, or the ways in which affective phenomena can be leveraged to increase human performance and productivity."--Jacket.
