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:
“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)
“Three factors—the belief that child care is female work, the failure of ex-husbands to support their children, and higher male wages at work—have taken the economic rug from under that half of married women who divorce.”
—Arlie Hochschild (20th century)
“As long as the “woman’s work” that some men do is socially devalued, as long as it is defined as woman’s work, as long as it’s tacked onto a “regular” work day, men who share it are likely to develop the same jagged mouth and frazzled hair as the coffee-mug mom. The image of the new man is like the image of the supermom: it obscures the strain.”
—Arlie Hochschild (20th century)
