Develops the concept of "Heartful Autoethnography," seeking to include researchers' vulnerable selves, emotions, and bodies to produce evocative, detailed stories. The goal is to fuse social science with literature, encouraging compassion and empathy.
Illustrates how autoethnography can research complex emotional experiences but is subject to cultural feeling/display rules that interfere with emotional engagement. Critically revisits myths about autoethnography (narcissistic, therapeutic, authentic) and suggests it is complicated and non-linear.
Explores unreciprocated romantic attraction by comparing narrative accounts, concluding that unrequited love is a bilaterally distressing experience marked by mutual incomprehension. Would-be lovers reported more positive and intensely negative emotions than rejectors and felt they were led on.
