许多心理科学家和行为神经科学家肯定,“情绪”影响思维,决策,行动,社会关系,幸福感以及身心健康。然而,对“情绪”一词的定义还没有达成共识,目前的数据表明,它不能被定义为一个单一的概念。理论家和研究者对“情感”赋予了截然不同但却启发性的含义。“他们在情绪激活、功能和调节方面表现出相当大的一致性。这篇文章的中心目标是提醒研究人员,学生和其他消费者的“情绪”研究的多个含义或方面,杰出的科学家属性的“情绪”,增加其有趣的和具有挑战性的复杂性的赞赏,并提高对“情绪”的观点和相关的文学机构,是科学和社会的关键意义。
Many psychological scientists and behavioral neuroscientists affirm that "emotion" influences thinking, decision-making, actions, social relationships, well-being, and physical and mental health. Yet there is no consensus on a definition of the word "emotion," and the present data suggest that it cannot be defined as a unitary concept. Theorists and researchers attribute quite different yet heuristic meanings to "emotion." They show considerable agreement about emotion activation, functions, and regulation. The central goal of this article is to alert researchers, students, and other consumers of "emotion" research to the multiple meanings or aspects that distinguished scientists attribute to " emotion," increase appreciation of its interesting and challenging complexity, and sharpen perspectives on "emotion" and the associated body of literature that is of critical significance to science and society.
