Little is known about the impact of context on the meaning of emotion words. In the present study, we used a semantic profiling instrument (GRID) to investigate features representing five emotion components (appraisal, bodily reaction, expression, action tendencies, and feeling) of 11 emotion words in situational contexts involving success or failure. We compared these to the data from an earlier study in which participants evaluated the typicality of features out of context. Profile analyses identified features for which typicality changed as a function of context for all emotion words, except contentment, with appraisal features being most frequently affected. Those context effects occurred for both hypothesised basic and non-basic emotion words. Moreover, both data sets revealed a four-dimensional structure. The four dimensions were largely similar (valence, power, arousal, and novelty). The results suggest that context may not change the underlying dimensionality but affects facets of the meaning of emotion words.
关于情境对情感词汇意义的影响，我们所知甚少。在本研究中，我们使用了一种语义剖析工具（GRID），来调查在涉及成功或失败的情境中，代表11个情感词汇的五个情感成分（评价、身体反应、表达、行动倾向和感受）的特征。我们将这些数据与早期一项研究的数据进行了比较，在早期研究中，参与者在脱离情境的情况下评估了特征的典型性。轮廓分析确定了除满足感外，所有情感词汇的典型性随情境变化的特征，其中评价特征受影响最为频繁。这些情境效应在假设的基本情感词汇和非基本情感词汇中均有出现。此外，两个数据集都揭示了一个四维结构。这四个维度在很大程度上是相似的（效价、力量、唤醒和新颖性）。结果表明，情境可能不会改变潜在的维度，但会影响情感词汇意义的各个方面。
