Basic emotion theory (BET) has been, perhaps, the central narrative in the science of emotion. As Crivelli and Fridlund (J Nonverbal Behav 125:1-34, 2019, this issue) would have it, however, BET is ready to be put to rest, facing "last stands" and "fatal" empirical failures. Nothing could be further from the truth. Crivelli and Fridlund's outdated treatment of BET, narrow focus on facial expressions of six emotions, inattention to robust empirical literatures, and overreliance on singular "critical tests" of a multifaceted theory, undermine their critique and belie the considerable advances guided by basic emotion theory.
基本情绪理论（BET）或许一直是情绪科学的核心叙事。然而，正如克里维利和弗里德伦德（《非言语行为杂志》125:1 - 34，2019年，本期）所言，BET已准备好被搁置，面临“最后的抵抗”和“致命的”实证失败。事实远非如此。克里维利和弗里德伦德对BET的过时论述、对六种情绪面部表情的狭隘关注、对丰富实证文献的忽视以及对一个多层面理论的单一“关键测试”的过度依赖，削弱了他们的批判，并掩盖了基本情绪理论所引领的重大进展。
