Social Justice and the Experience of Emotion

This book will seek to integrate the scholarship on justice and affect. The book will be focused on empirical social scientific theories pertaining to fairness, mood and emotion. The frameworks that will be looked at include equity theory, the relational models and reflect attempts by justice scholars to adapt existing theories of emotion to suit their conceptual purposes. Most of the literature in this book is drawn from social and organizational psychology. Other areas included will be management, personality and evolutionary psychology with a little on relevant philosophical positions from Aristotle and Rawls. The goal of this book is to familiarize the reader with the rich tradition of conceptual models explaining the association between justice and emotion.
