核心情绪理论研究进展

Progress in the Theoretical Study of the Core Affect

核心情绪位于任一情绪情节的中心，可以通过效价与激活两个维度来描述。它与心境类似但又有所不同，心境是没有对象的或者只有“准对象”的延续的核心情绪。因此核心情绪可被体验为自由漂浮的（心境），也可以被归因于某些因素（从而开展一段情绪情节）。核心情绪是特定情绪产生的前准备状态，与知觉过程、认知过程以及行为过程混合而成意识流，故人类意识中的情绪建立在核心情绪基础之上。核心情绪与意识、语言、记忆、人格以及心理健康也都有密切关系。

Core affect was at the heart of any emotional episode, and could be described by two dimensions, valence and activation. Core affect, similar to mood but different, we defined mood as prolonged core affect without an object or with a quasi-object. Core affect could therefore be experienced as free-floating （mood） or could be attributed to some cause （and thereby began an emotional episode）.Core affect was the pre-perparation of certain emotional generation, and together constituted the stream of consciousness with perceptual processes, cognitive processes as well as behavior, therefore emotion in human consciousness was built on core affect. There were close relationship between core affect and consciousness, language, memory, personality, plus mental health.
