Arlie Hochschild, a sociologist and anthropologist, is known for her research on emotion, family dynamics, and social change. She explores how personal feelings and social expectations influence behavior, particularly within families and workplaces. Her notable concepts include the idea of “emotional labor,” which describes how people manage their feelings to fulfill their roles, often at personal cost. Hochschild’s work sheds light on how societal norms shape emotions and interpersonal relationships, emphasizing the connection between individual experiences and larger social structures.
