Abstract

Fredrickson's (2000) account of the role of positive emotions in human functioning is certainly an exciting and promising one. One shortfall of the approach is that it neglects the central importance of social relationships in human life and the important, and perhaps unique, relation between positive emotion and close interpersonal bonds. A few areas in which such a focus might benefit the broaden-and-build model are reviewed and some other ambiguities in this promising new approach are suggested.
