情緒(emotion)的先天論觀點在情緒研究中長期佔據主導地位,但這種觀點畢竟只是一種理論上的假設。本文基於情緒的後天論立場,參照已有理論觀點和實驗結果,對情緒體驗和感官感受(sensory feeling;如痛覺、味覺和饑餓感)的構成成分進行了分析,認為它們都是由認知表徵(cognitive representation;各種識別性感覺和以其為基礎的各種心理表徵)和情感表徵(affect representation;僅有愉快感和不愉快感兩種意識品質,並伴有心理上的喜厭狀態)結合而成的複合感受,其中情感表徵是情緒體驗的核心成分。然後基於認知表徵與情感表徵在情緒體驗和感官感受中的可分離性,以及情緒體驗和感官感受中的情感表徵在神經基礎上的同源性,提出了情緒體驗的情感成分是感官感受情感成分的條件反應之假設。文中也對認知表徵和情感表徵在情緒體驗中的具體表現和相關心理現象進行了一些論述,認為情感的對象化或客體化(把情感的意識品質和喜厭狀態「投射」到身體知覺或外界對象上)是情緒體驗的一種重要心理機制。
Based on the assumption that emotion is acquired, this paper examines and analyzes the components of emotional experience and sensory feeling by referencing existing theoretical viewpoints and experimental results. It is argued that emotions and senses are all compound feelings that consist of cognitive representation and affect representation (only two conscious qualities of pleasure and displeasure). From here it is assumed that the core components of emotional experience originate from the conditioned response of the affect component of sensory feeling, based on the separability of the cognitive and affect representations as well as the homology in neural basis of the affect representations in emotions and senses. Specific performances of cognitive representation, affect representation in emotional experience, and related psychological phenomena are discussed, from here it inferred that objectification of affect is an important psychological mechanism in emotional experience.
