Benefits and Challenges of Studying Discrete Emotions

Saturday, August 5, 8:00 a.m. - 10:00 a.m. at AOM 2017

The Benefits and Challenges of Studying Discrete Emotions workshop provides two unique and interactive ways for participants to interface with leading emotion scholars to learn about the benefits and challenges of discrete emotion research. The first is through an innovative fishbowl technique in which a small group of senior scholars will dialogue about pertinent topics related to studying discrete emotions while participants get to observe and experience a deep academic discourse.

The second interactive element of the PDW takes place through facilitated table discussions on research proposals submitted in advance by participants. Few Academy of Management sessions to-date have dealt directly with discrete emotions. In response to the burgeoning research in this area, we bring leading emotion scholars together to demystify discrete emotions and support existing and aspiring emotion researchers alike in developing professionally as discrete emotion researchers, while building a microcommunity of discrete emotion researchers.

We are very pleased that the following scholars have agreed to participate:

• Panelists: Neal M. Ashkanasy, Sigal Barsade, Deanna Geddes, Olivia Amanda O'Neill, Myeong-gu Seo
  
• Facilitators: Neal M. Ashkanasy, Deanna Geddes, Janaki Gooty, Laura McAndrews Little, Shimul Melwani, Olivia Amanda O'Neill, Hakan Ozcelik, Kenneth Tai

Applicants for participation in this PDW are asked to submit a research proposal on discrete emotions by July 1^st to hxk376@case.edu. The research proposal should be no more than 3 single-spaced pages and include the following:

• 3 keywords that capture your topic
• Your research question(s) and theoretical framing
• What aspect(s) of the project you most hope to receive feedback on

Final acceptance emails with the PDW registration code will be sent out by July 5^th. Pre-registration is required for this PDW as space is limited to 40 registrants.
