Menninghaus et al. portrayed meaning in art as a vehicle for transforming negative emotions into pleasure. Although it is intuitively appealing that meaningful experiences should feel good, meaningfulness does not necessarily entail pleasure or positive emotions. Whereas easily comprehended art may elicit pleasure, meaningfulness is more closely tied to challenge and interest than to pleasure.
曼宁豪斯等人将艺术中的意义描绘为一种将负面情绪转化为愉悦的载体。虽然有意义的体验应该感觉良好这一观点直观上很吸引人，但意义不一定需要快乐或积极的情绪。虽然易于理解的艺术可能会带来愉悦，但意义与挑战和兴趣的关系更为密切，而不是与愉悦的关系更为密切。
