Including pride and its group-based, relational, and contextual features in theories of contempt

Gavin Brent Sullivan. Behav Brain Sci. 2017 Jan.

Abstract

Sentiment includes emotional and enduring attitudinal features of contempt, but explaining contempt as a mixture of basic emotion system affects does not adequately address the family resemblance structure of the concept. Adding forms of individual, group-based, and widely shared arrogance and contempt is necessary to capture the complex mixed feelings of proud superiority when "looking down upon" and acting harshly towards others.
