    "title": "Emotions in lay explanations of behavior",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Humans use rich intuitive theories to explain other people’sbehavior. Previous work in lay psychology of behavior havetended to treat emotion as causing primarily unintentional be-havior (e.g., being sad causes one to cry), neglecting how peo-ple incorporate emotions into explanations of rational, inten-tional actions. Here, we provide preliminary explorations intointegrating emotions into a theory of folk psychology. Specif-ically, we show that in the lay theory, people are willing toendorse emotions as causes of intentional actions. Moreover,people readily attribute beliefs and desires as explanations foremotional expressions. This work provides a first step in elabo-rating people’s rich understanding of emotions as an importantcomponent of intuitive social cognition.",
