Abstract
Will Sarah eventually learn one of life's more important lessons? With further experience, will she no longer "feel sad and disappointed" when others fail to meet her expectations? Traditional students of emotional life might ask: Has William been socialized into suppressing his "true emotions," thus making him a candidate for a life of tension-ridden inauthenticity?
