About the author

Magda Blondiau Arnold (1903–2002) was an American psychologist; the first contemporary theorist to develop appraisal theory of emotions, which moved the direction of emotion theory away from "feeling" theories (e.g. James-Lange theory) and "behaviorist" theories (e.g. Cannon-Bard theory) and toward the cognitive approaches which dominate today.

She was a 1957 Guggenheim Fellow.
