We review recent trends and methodological issues in assessing and testing theories of emotion, and we review evidence that form follows function in the affect system. Physical limitations constrain behavioral expressions and incline behavioral predispositions toward a bipolar organization, but these limiting conditions appear to lose their power at the level of underlying mechanisms, where a bivalent approach may provide a more comprehensive account of the affect system.
我们回顾了评估和检验情绪理论方面的近期趋势及方法学问题,并且回顾了情感系统中形式遵循功能的证据。身体限制会约束行为表达,并使行为倾向于向两极化组织发展,但这些限制条件在潜在机制层面似乎失去了效力,在这一层面,二元方法可能会对情感系统做出更全面的解释。
