A hyper-emotion theory of psychological illnesses is presented. It postulates that these illnesses have an onset in which a cognitive evaluation initiates a sequence of unconscious transitions yielding a basic emotion. This emotion is appropriate for the situation but inappropriate in its intensity. Whenever it recurs, it leads individuals to a focus on the precipitating situation and to characteristic patterns of inference that can bolster the illness. Individuals with a propensity to psychological illness accordingly reason better than more robust individuals, but only on topics relevant to their illness. The theory is assessed in the light of previous research, a small epidemiological study of patients, and 3 empirical studies.
本文提出了一种心理疾病的过度情绪理论。该理论假定，这些疾病的发作始于认知评估引发一系列无意识转变，进而产生一种基本情绪。这种情绪与情境相符，但强度不当。每当这种情绪再次出现时，它会导致个体专注于引发疾病的情境，并形成能够强化疾病的特征性推理模式。因此，易患心理疾病的个体在推理方面比心理更健全的个体表现更好，但仅限于与他们的疾病相关的主题。该理论根据以往的研究、一项针对患者的小型流行病学研究以及三项实证研究进行了评估。
