Recently, theorists have attempted to stake out two seem-ingly opposing views of human crying: (1) crying as an arousing behavior that typically accompanies distress or (2) crying as a soothing behavior that promotes the reduction of arousal after distress.
Currently, most of the research on the neurobiology of crying in humans has focused on autonomic physiological processes underlying tearful crying, which may yield essential clues regarding the neural substrates of the production of crying behavior and its effects on the crier.
tive or even prospective studies of people from vari-ous age groups and cultural backgrounds about the physiological, existential, and political experiences of crying. Through concept development, theoretical development, and empirical exploration of crying in a variety of contexts, newer understandings of crying will be facilitated.
A comprehensive model of adult crying is proposed, which conceptualizes crying as a complex interaction of psychobiological, cognitive and social processes and special attention is devoted to the explanation of gender differences in crying and whether crying improves mood and health.
One suggests that crying serves homeo- stasis by facilitating recovery; the other suggests that crying produces an aversive high-arousal state that moti- vates behavior aimed at ending the tears.
