我们采用了一种新的范式来测试六种基本情绪（悲伤、恐惧、厌恶、愤怒、惊讶和快乐）是否同时包含消极和积极，而不是由消极和积极之间的单一连续体组成。我们研究了韩国，中国，加拿大和美国学生的情感和认知成分，这些情绪的感知消极性和积极性。在跨文化的认知和情感层面上评估每种情绪，可以提供一个相当全面的情绪积极性和消极性的图景。情感成分比认知成分更分散。跨文化，美国人和加拿大人给予更高的效价评级，每一种情绪的显着效价，和较低的评级，情绪的非显着效价，相比中国人和韩国人。结果表明，情绪包括积极和消极，有跨文化差异的报告情绪。这种范式补充了现有的情绪理论，建立在过去的研究，并允许更简约的解释跨文化研究情绪。
We employ a novel paradigm to test whether six basic emotions (sadness, fear, disgust, anger, surprise, and happiness) contain both negativity and positivity, as opposed to consisting of a single continuum between negative and positive. We examined the perceived negativity and positivity of these emotions in terms of their affective and cognitive components among Korean, Chinese, Canadian, and American students. Assessing each emotion at the cognitive and affective levels cross-culturally provides a fairly comprehensive picture of the positivity and negativity of emotions. Affective components were rated as more divergent than cognitive components. Cross-culturally, Americans and Canadians gave higher valence ratings to the salient valence of each emotion, and lower ratings to the non-salient valence of an emotion, compared to Chinese and Koreans. The results suggest that emotions encompass both positivity and negativity, and there were cross-cultural differences in reported emotions. This paradigm complements existing emotion theories, building on past research and allowing for more parsimonious explanations of cross-cultural research on emotion.
