Emotionen bestimmen unser Denken, sie beeinflussen unsere Entscheidungen und sie treiben uns an in dem, was wir tun. Wir können sie annehmen und kultivieren. Oder bekämpfen und verdrängen. Unsere Gesundheit, unser Wohlbefinden - und das Zusammenleben mit anderen hängen davon ab. Achtsam sein auf die Affekte der Seele, so mit ihnen umgehen, dass sie uns lebendig und kraftvoller machen, das kann man lernen. Anselm Grün gibt dazu faszinierende Impulse. Anselm Grün OSB, Dr. theol., geb. 1945, war Cellerar der Abtei Münsterschwarzach. Geistlicher Begleiter, Autor international erfolgreicher Bücher zu Themen der Spiritualität und Lebenskunst. Sein Monatsbrief »einfach leben« erreicht zahlreiche Leser (www.einfachlebenbrief.de).

From questions surrounding motives to the concept of crimes of passion, the intersection of emotional states and legal practice has long interested professionals as well as the public - recent cases involving extensive pretrial publicity, highly charged evidence, and instances of jury nullification continue to make the subject particularly timely. With these trends in mind, Emotion and the Law brings a rich tradition in social psychology into sharp forensic focus in a unique interdisciplinary volume. Emotion, mood and affective states, plus patterns of conduct that tend to arise from them in legal contexts, are analyzed in theoretical and practical terms, using real-life examples from criminal and civil cases. From these complex situations, contributors provide answers to bedrock questions - what roles affect plays in legal decision making, when these roles are appropriate, and what can be done so that emotion is not misused or exploited in legal procedures - and offer complementary legal and social/cognitive perspectives on these and other salient issues: Positive versus negative affect in legal decision making. Emotion, eyewitness memory, and false memory. The influence of emotions on juror decisions, and legal approaches to its control. A terror management theory approach to the understanding of hate crimes. Policy recommendations for managing affect in legal proceedings. Additional legal areas that can benefit from the study of emotion. Emotion and the Law clarifies theoretical grey areas, revisits current practice, and suggests possibilities for both new scholarship and procedural guidelines, making it a valuable reference for psycholegal researchers, forensic psychologists, and policymakers.

Abstract
This chapter examines the relationship between religiosity and positive emotions. It first reviews predictors of psychological well-being, examining various psychological theories of well-being that involve demographic factors, genetic influences, satisfaction of goals, and cognitive processes having to do with reference points in comparison to others. Next, it examines the impact of well-being on health more generally, including effects on social relationships, work performance, and psychological resilience, as well as on physical health and longevity. The authors then theorize how and why religion might impact psychological well-being, and review research examining the relationship between religiosity and psychological well-being, purpose and meaning in life, optimism, hope, gratitude, and self-esteem. The chapter concludes by providing recommendations for future research and describing clinical applications for mental health and religious professionals.

The study of emotions is primarily related to psychology, although other sciences also pay enough attention to this problem. The authors of the article make a brief review of the researches carried out by linguists in the sphere of emotions. The readers are suggested a survey describing a number of key Russian and Kazakhstani scientists involved into studying emotions. The popularity of studying emotional features of lexemes and texts has not diminished over the years. On the contrary the linguists as well as psychologists and scientist of other fields of science devote a lot of time and efforts to the issues related to emotions. There is a considerable number of researches devoted to the study of the verbal-conceptual set of emotions in modern linguistics, but the science of language is not yet ready to answer all the questions related to the manifestation of emotionality in the language. So, this research paper deals with the aspects of studying emotions in linguistics

While there are many books on crisis negotiation, most of the current literature focuses on the history and mechanics of this dynamic process, leaving out critical elements that are required for a successful encounter with a hostage-taker or other malfeasant. Psychological Aspects of Crisis Negotiation, Second Edition explores the methods and strategies for confronting the nine types of subjects typically encountered in hostage/suicide sieges by correctional staff and law enforcement crisis negotiators. Drawn from articles published by Thomas Strentz while serving at the FBI Academy* along with written versions of lectures developed and delivered since his retirement, the book highlights psychological dynamics of negotiations as they apply to the negotiator, the hostage, and the subject. It discusses the predictors of surrender versus the need for a tactical intervention and examines the phases of a hostage crisis and the changing focus as the crisis develops. Referencing historical events such as The Bay of Pigs invasion and the Challenger and Columbia incidents, the book demonstrates how faulty group decision making can spell tragedy. Enhanced with case studies to put the material into context, this second edition also includes new chapters on the first responder, hostage survival, and the Islamic belief system and culture. Steeped in sage advice from a national expert, this volume arms those tasked with confronting dangerous offenders with the knowledge and tools they need to subvert disaster and ensure the preservation of human life. *Articles were reviewed by the Academy Editorial/Review Board and approved by the Bureau for publication.
