Comments on the article by J. P. Forgas (see record 2002-10335-001) on psychological theories linking affect, cognition, and behavior. The authors address 3 interrelated questions. How do culture and context figure in the interplay between affect and judgment? Do discrete emotions influence judgment in different ways? Finally, how do recent studies of affect and judgment inform the study of positive emotion. The answers reveal the promise and pitfalls of Forgas's integrative account of affect and judgment.
