The study of discrete emotions in media-based communication contexts has been largely limited to the study of fear appeals and mood management. Yet there are a multitude of ways in which emotion may be productively integrated into our thinking about message design and effects. This talk will introduce three novel approaches to the study of emotion in media contexts.
