There is remarkable variety in emotional life. Not all mental states referred to by the same word (e.g., "fear") look alike, feel alike, or have the same neurophysiological signature. Variability has been observed within individuals over time, across individuals from the same culture, and of course across cultures. In this paper, I outline an approach to understanding the richness and diversity of emotional life. This model, called the conceptual act model, is not only well suited to explaining individual differences in the frequency and quality of emotion, but it also suggests the counter-intuitive view that the variety in emotional life extends past the boundaries of events that are conventionally called "emotion" to other classes of psychological events that people call by different names, such as "cognitions". As a result, the conceptual act model is a unifying account of the broad variety of mental states that constitute the human mind.
情感生活存在显著的多样性。并非所有用同一个词(如“恐惧”)来指代的心理状态看起来相同、感觉相同或具有相同的神经生理特征。随着时间的推移,在个体内部、同一文化背景下的个体之间,当然还有不同文化之间,都观察到了这种变异性。在本文中,我概述了一种理解情感生活丰富性和多样性的方法。这种模型称为概念行为模型,它不仅非常适合解释情感在频率和质量上的个体差异,而且还提出了一种与直觉相悖的观点,即情感生活的多样性超越了传统上被称为“情感”的事件范畴,延伸到了人们用不同名称称呼的其他心理事件类别,比如“认知”。因此,概念行为模型是对构成人类思维的广泛心理状态的一种统一解释。
