Hochschild
Hochschild, who introduced the term in 1979, distinguished "emotion work" - unpaid emotional work that a person undertakes in their relationships with family and friends - from "emotional labor": emotional work done in a paid work setting .
In a later development. 'Hochschild (1990) distinguished between two broad types of emotion work, and among three techniques of emotion work. The two broad types involve evocation and suppression' of emotion, while 'the three techniques of emotion work that Hochschild describes are cognitive, bodily and expressive'.
However, the concept (if not the term) has been traced back as far as Aristotle: 'as Aristotle saw, the problem is not with emotionality, but with the appropriateness of emotion and its expression'.

Famous quotes containing the word hochschild:
“Just as the archetype of the supermom—the woman who can do it all—minimizes the real needs of women, so too the archetype of the “superkid” minimizes the real needs of children. It makes it all right to treat a young child as if he or she were older.”
—Arlie Hochschild (20th century)
“The influx of women into paid work and her increased power raise a woman’s aspirations and hopes for equal treatment at home. Her lower wage and status at work and the threat of divorce reduce what she presses for and actually expects.”
—Arlie Hochschild (20th century)
“Most women without children spend much more time than men on housework; with children, they devote more time to both housework and child care. Just as there is a wage gap between men and women in the workplace, there is a “leisure gap” between them at home. Most women work one shift at the office or factory and a “second shift” at home.”
—Arlie Hochschild (20th century)
