Published: February 2013

We propose that revenge responses are often influenced more by affective reactions than by deliberate decision making as McCullough et al. suggest. We review social psychological evidence suggesting that justice judgments and reactions may be determined more by emotions than by cognitions.

Article Synopsis
  • - Functional Neurological Symptom Disorder (FNSD) involves neurological-like symptoms without a clear neurological cause, and the mechanisms behind it are complex and not fully understood.
  • - A study tested the use of remote monitoring technologies (RMT) on 17 individuals with FNS and 17 healthy controls to track symptoms, daily events, and physiological data, finding that those with FNS reported higher levels of negative emotions, pain, and sleep issues.
  • - Results indicate that daily stressors and negative feelings significantly impact FNS severity, suggesting that addressing emotional responses could help those with FNS, and calls for larger studies to explore these findings further.

Introduction: High email load has been associated with impaired well-being because emails impose specific demands, disturb the workflow, and thereby overtax individuals' action regulation toward prioritized goals. However, the causes and well-being-related consequences of email load are not yet well understood, as previous studies have neglected the interaction type and function of emails as well as co-occurring stressors as antecedents of high email load and have relied predominantly on cross-sectional designs.

Methods: In two studies, we aimed to clarify the nature of email load through the lens of action regulation theory.
