Relational Meaning and Discrete Emotions

抄録

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>The growing importance of cognitive-mediational or value-expectancy approaches to mind and behavior in the social sciences has generated a renewed interest in the emotions as discrete categories. This is in contrast with the position that views emotions as a limited set of dimensions (see, for example, Daly, Polivy, & Lancee, 1983, Plutchik, 1980a, Russell, 1980, 1983, Schlosberg, 1941, and Wundt, 1905, for data and discussions of the dimensional approach, and Lazarus, 1991b for further discussion). In the discrete emotion approach, dimensions of emotional intensity are still employed, but these are applied within each emotion category. In contrast, the dimensional approach minimizes the importance of distinctions among the emotions because it is based on a factor-analytic search for the minimal number of emotion dimensions that account for the maximum emotion variance.</jats:p>
