Emotions are inherently complex - situated inside the brain while being influenced by conditions inside the body and outside in the world - resulting in substantial variation in experience. Most studies, however, are not designed to sufficiently sample this variation. In this paper, we discuss what could be discovered if emotion were systematically studied within persons 'in the wild', using biologically-triggered experience sampling: a multimodal and deeply idiographic approach to ambulatory sensing that links body and mind across contexts and over time. We outline the rationale for this approach, discuss challenges to its implementation and widespread adoption, and set out opportunities for innovation afforded by emerging technologies. Implementing these innovations will enrich method and theory at the frontier of affective science, propelling the contextually situated study of emotion into the future.
情感本质上是复杂的——位于大脑之中，同时受到身体内部和外部世界状况的影响——导致体验存在巨大差异。然而，大多数研究并未设计足够的样本以涵盖这种差异。在本文中，我们探讨了如果使用生物触发的经验抽样法在“自然环境”中的个体内系统地研究情感，可能会发现什么：这是一种多模态且高度个性化的动态感知方法，它能在不同情境和时间段内将身心联系起来。我们概述了这种方法的基本原理，讨论了其实施和广泛应用所面临的挑战，并阐述了新兴技术带来的创新机遇。实施这些创新将丰富情感科学前沿的方法和理论，推动情感的情境化研究走向未来。
