Emotional concordance refers to dynamic coordination of two or more components of the emotion system in response to environmental demands. Concordance can occur within a person (e.g., sympathetic arousal with a fearful expression) and between persons (e.g., similar emotional expressions in couples). This introduction to the 2021 special issue examines current models and methods of concordance. First, we highlight how emotion researchers have begun to focus on concordance across a range of populations and contexts. Second, we note concordance research benefits from examination of multiple emotion systems simultaneously (within- and/or between-persons), resulting in a multivariate time series. Finally, we describe recent efforts to understand the functional (e.g., health-related) consequences of concordance. The articles in this special issue collectively point toward exciting new directions in examining whether and when concordance occurs, and how it varies by individual differences, context, and measures.
情绪协调是指情绪系统的两个或多个成分对环境需求的动态协调。协调可以在一个人（例如，恐惧表情伴随交感兴奋）内发生，也可以在人与人之间（例如，夫妻之间相似的情绪表达）发生。本 2021 年特刊介绍了当前情绪协调的模型和方法。首先，我们强调了情感研究人员如何开始关注不同人群和不同情境下的协调。其次，我们注意到，通过同时检查多个情绪系统（个体内和/或个体间），可以得到多元时间序列，从而使协调研究受益。最后，我们描述了理解协调功能（例如，与健康相关的）后果的最新努力。本期特刊中的文章共同指出了一个令人兴奋的新方向，即检查协调是否以及何时发生，以及它如何因个体差异、情境和测量而变化。
