情感维度结构的讨论通常是基于因素分析的结果。分歧主要集中在测量和测量误差问题上。我认为，结构的影响是没有讨论有意义的，如果不考虑功能的影响。一个功能分析概述了方法和激励相关的影响（积极和消极的）是由我的自我调节系统管理，和回避和威胁相关的影响（积极和消极的）是由另一个自我调节系统管理。在这两种情况下，积极和消极的影响都是为了传达有关所从事的行为是好是坏的信息。这种观点认为存在两个双极情感维度，其属性是由对行为和情感的理解所告知的。
Discussions of the dimensional structure of affect usually are based on results of factor analyses. Disagreements focus largely on issues of measurement and measurement error. I argue that the structure of affect is not discussed meaningfully without considering functional implications of affects. A functional analysis is outlined in which approach and incentive-related affects (both positive and negative) are managed by I self-regulatory system, and avoidance and threat-related affects (positive and negative) are managed by another self-regulatory system. In both cases, positive and negative affects are posited to convey information about whether the behavior being engaged in is going well or poorly. This view argues for the existence of 2 bipolar affective dimensions, the properties of which are informed by an understanding of both behavior and feelings.
