Abstract

Although the study of emotions and health has been part of sociology internationally for over a decade, it is only beginning to garner interest as a sociological topic in the United States (James and Gabe 2003a). Direct connections between emotions and physical health have been the empirical province of health psychology, with very little recognition across disciplinary borders. In American sociology, the main tie between emotions and health has been the study of stress and mental health. Also, the broader implications of stress research for health have attracted more attention in public health than in American sociology.
