Hans Jürgen Eysenck on Emotions - Dictionary of Arguments
Corr I 355 Emotion/Eysenck/CorrVsEysenck: Emotion was never satisfactorily explained in Eysenck’s (1957)(1) theory: it was seen, at varying times, as a cause (e.g., in Spence’s conditioning studies), as an outcome (e.g., in neurosis), and as a regulatory set point mechanism (e.g., in arousal and hedonic tone relations). In Eysenck’s theory, it remained something of an unruly, even delinquent, construct. (Spence 1964)(2). >Conditioning/Gray. 1. Corr, P. J. 2008a.
