提出了一种情绪理论,认为情绪是由条件作用产生的,因此不是天生的,而是在愉快、不愉快、兴奋和抑郁这四种情感状态中有其基本基础。这些是由感觉丘脑投射中心的激活引起的有意识的感觉,并与各种皮层下运动中心有反射联系。在情感中,还加上了对刺激情境的认知。因此,特定情绪的分化并不是不同运动成分的问题,而是对刺激采取的意识态度的差异。这一理论被证明是协调的各种实验结果,最近的时间与参考的非特异性的骨骼模式,分离的可能性,意识和运动模式,先天的情感模式的缺乏,丘脑和皮质成分的存在,等等。(PsycInfo数据库记录(c)2016阿帕,保留所有权利)
A theory of emotions is presented which holds that they are derived by conditioning and hence are not innate, but have their elementary basis in the four affective states of pleasantness, unpleasantness, excitement and depression. These are conscious feelings induced by activation of sensory thalamic projection centers, and have reflex connections with various sub-cortical motor centers. In the emotion there is added to this the cognizance of the stimulating situation. Hence differentiation of specific emotions is not a matter of different motor components, but of differences in the conscious attitude taken toward the stimulus. This theory is shown to harmonize the various experimental findings of recent times with reference to the non-specificity of skeletal pattern, the possibility of dissociation of conscious and motor patterns, the absence of innate emotional patterns, the presence of both thalamic and cortical components, etc.(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
