Emotional Work, Rationality, and the Co-Construction of Hope in the Field of Consumer Investment

Building on previous intra-psychic and socio-cultural perspectives on hope, this research investigates how hope is co-created and tempered in a context – financial investment – in which emotion is disparaged. This study explores the ways in which hope is collectively shaped, and it contributes to literature on the social construction of emotion.
