A number of people have contributed to this study. Research assistants have been invaluable, not only in ferreting out data but also in collaborating on thinking through the results. Steve Tripp, Timothy Haggerty, Amy deCamp, Mark Knapp, Steve Beaudoin, and Barry O’Rorke have carried out important phases of this inquiry. Charles Hachten and Daniel Fiore also contributed directly by generously sharing undergraduate research projects. Scarlett Townsend, Karen Callas, Clio Stearns, and particularly Gail Dickey and Naomi Wahlberg assisted in various phases of manuscript preparation. Barbara Lassonde provided vital editorial help. Niko Pfund and Despina Papazoglou Gimbel, of New York University Press, offered encouragement and a host of additions and corrections. Many colleagues have contributed not only suggestions but essential research ideas as well: John Modell, Jan Lewis, Stephen Lassonde, Deborah Stearns, Steve Gordon, Wendy Wiener, and Linda Rosenzweig head a long list. Both the sociology department of the University of Amsterdam and the International Society for Research on Emotion gave me opportunities to try out key ideas in the final phases of the synthesis. I am particularly grateful to my ISRE colleagues for the regular interdisciplinary stimulus and support they provide. Last but definitely not least, Carol Z. Stearns has contributed suggestions, criticisms, and fundamental ideas all along the way.
