Research on mixed emotions is flourishing but fractured. Several psychological subfields are working in parallel and separately from other disciplines also studying mixed emotions, which has led to a disorganized literature. In this article, we provide an overview of the literature on mixed emotions and discuss factors contributing to the lack of integration within and between fields. We present an organizing framework for the literature of mixed emotions on the basis of two distinct goals: solving the bipolar-bivariate debate and understanding the subjective experience of mixed emotions. We also present a personalized perspective that can be used when studying the subjective experience of mixed emotions. We emphasize the importance of assessing both state and trait emotions (e.g., momentary emotions, general levels of affect) alongside state and trait context (e.g., physical location, culture). We discuss three methodological approaches that we believe will be valuable in building a new mixed-emotions literature-inductive research methods, idiographic models of emotional experiences, and empirical assessment of emotion-eliciting contexts. We include recommendations throughout on applying these methods to research on mixed emotions, and we conclude with avenues for future interdisciplinary research. We hope that this perspective will foster research that results in the organized accumulation of knowledge about mixed emotions.
关于混合情绪的研究蓬勃发展但缺乏系统性。几个心理学子领域在并行开展研究，且与同样研究混合情绪的其他学科相互独立，这导致了文献的杂乱无章。在本文中，我们概述了关于混合情绪的文献，并讨论了导致各领域内部及相互之间缺乏整合的因素。我们基于两个不同目标提出了一个混合情绪文献的组织框架：解决双极 - 双变量争论以及理解混合情绪的主观体验。我们还提出了一个在研究混合情绪主观体验时可采用的个性化视角。我们强调在评估状态和特质情绪（例如瞬间情绪、总体情感水平）的同时评估状态和特质背景（例如身体位置、文化）的重要性。我们讨论了三种我们认为对构建新的混合情绪文献有价值的方法论途径——归纳研究方法、情绪体验的独特模型以及对情绪诱发情境的实证评估。我们在文中各处都给出了将这些方法应用于混合情绪研究的建议，并以未来跨学科研究的途径作为结论。我们希望这一视角能促进相关研究，从而实现关于混合情绪的知识的有组织积累。
