The Distancing-Embracing model proposes that negative emotions embedded in literary works can be rewarding. This is consistent with a holistic ontology in the German Romantic tradition. However, the application of cognitive psychology to explain experiences of aesthetic pleasure is problematic because it is founded on a mechanistic Enlightenment epistemology. The appreciation of negative emotions requires cognitive elaboration and closure, whereas hedonistic reward is contingent on the reader's needs, in the moment, for pleasure or distraction.
疏离-拥抱模型提出，文学作品中蕴含的负面情绪也可能具有奖赏性。这与德国浪漫主义传统中的整体本体论是一致的。然而，用认知心理学来解释审美愉悦的体验是有问题的，因为它建立在机械论的启蒙认识论基础上。对负面情绪的欣赏需要认知的精心处理和封闭，而享乐主义的奖赏则取决于读者在当下对愉悦或分心的需求。
