在论证了对情感发展的研究对于理解儿童的整体发展是重要的之后，我们现在将尝试更精确地定义我们所说的“情感”一词的含义，以及这个术语与其他术语（如情感、情绪、气质和个性）有何不同。这项工作并不容易，尽管这个话题已经得到了一些关注（Arnold, 1960; Izard & Buechler, 1979; Plutchik, 1980a）。即使这些评论可能会让读者有些困惑，因为情感和情感发展研究中最困难的任务之一是定义。如果有人问：“情感是什么？”的问题，你会发现答案既难以捉摸，又与众不同。表3给出了28种不同的情绪定义（来自Plutchik， 1980a）。显然，情绪是不容易定义的，对于它可能是什么也没有一致的看法。至少80年来，心理学家一直在努力定义情感，并在行为理论中为其找到一席之地（Strongman, 1978）。这个问题一直持续到20世纪80年代。
Having argued that the study of emotional development is important to understanding children’s overall development, we shall now attempt to define more precisely what we mean by the term emotion and how this term might differ from other terms, such as affect, mood, temperament, and personality. This undertaking is not easy even though some attention has already been given to this topic (Arnold, 1960; Izard & Buechler, 1979; Plutchik, 1980a). Even these reviews may leave the reader somewhat confused since one of the most difficult tasks in the study of emotion and emotional development is that of definition. If one were to ask, “What is emotion?”, one would find the answer both hard to come by and idiosyncratic. In Table 3, 28 different definitions of emotion are presented (from Plutchik, 1980a). Clearly, emotion is not easily defined, and there is no agreement about what it might be. For at least 80 years, psychologists have struggled to define emotion and to find a place for it in behavior theory (Strongman, 1978). This problem continues into the 1980s.
