情感是研究中必不可少但却鲜为人知的组成部分;它们催化和维持创造性的科学工作，并推动推动科学变革的科学和知识社会运动（西姆斯）。我们采用微观社会学的焦点，研究情绪如何塑造对所有科学工作至关重要的两个智力过程：构思创造性想法和管理怀疑论。我们通过对弹性联盟的纵向研究来说明这些过程，弹性联盟是一个紧密联系的连贯团体，在环境科学中新兴的科学社会运动的中心进行合作。我们展示了情绪是如何结构化的，并由该集团的成长和发展，以及如何社会情感的过程促进了高度创造性的科学的快速生产，并帮助克服外界的怀疑。热点和热点时刻--即在偏远和孤立的环境中进行短暂但激烈的合作--推动了该小组的科学表现并推动了SIM。然而，讽刺的是，激发和维持创造性科学研究的社会情感过程也使怀疑主义更容易发生，更难以管理。同样，情感和社会联系对群体的成长和发展至关重要，但规模和多样性的增加有可能侵蚀产生最初成功的情感文化。
Emotions are essential but little understood components of research; they catalyze and sustain creative scientific work and fuel the scientific and intellectual social movements (SIMs) that propel scientific change. Adopting a micro-sociological focus, we examine how emotions shape two intellectual processes central to all scientific work: conceiving creative ideas and managing skepticism. We illustrate these processes through a longitudinal study of the Resilience Alliance, a tightly networked coherent group collaborating at the center of a burgeoning scientific social movement in the environmental sciences. We show how emotions structured and were structured by the group’s growth and development, and how socio-emotive processes facilitated the rapid production of highly creative science and helped overcome skepticism by outsiders. Hot spots and hot moments—that is, brief but intense periods of collaboration undertaken in remote and isolated settings—fueled the group’s scientific performance and drove the SIM. Paradoxically, however, the same socio-emotive processes that ignited and sustained creative scientific research also made skepticism more likely to occur and more difficult to manage. Similarly, emotions and social bonding were essential for the group’s growth and development, but increased size and diversity have the potential to erode the affective culture that generated initial successes.
