Abstract

Modern affective science—the empirical study of emotional responding and affective experience—has been active for a half-century. The Future of Affective Science special issue considers the history of this field and proposes new directions for the decades ahead. Contributors represent diverse theoretical perspectives, methodological expertise, and domains of study, and the special issue includes both literature reviews and new empirical studies as illustrations. This introductory article synthesizes the contributions, articulating the broader context of the current status of our field and highlighting common themes across articles as well as gaps notable even in this special issue. Sections of the article address theoretical and conceptual issues, research methodology, the questions we ask, and translation of basic affective science to applied domains. We conclude that much has been learned from the first 50 years of affective science, and it is now time for new theories, new research questions, and innovative methods for the decades ahead.

情感科学的未来：特刊导论。

现代情感科学对情感反应和情感体验的实证研究已经活跃了半个世纪。情感科学的未来特刊回顾了这一领域的历史，并为未来几十年提出了新的方向。贡献者代表了不同的理论视角、方法论专业知识和研究领域，特刊包括文献综述和新的实证研究作为例证。这篇介绍性文章综合了这些贡献，阐明了我们领域现状的更广泛背景，并强调了文章中的共同主题以及即使在本特刊中也值得注意的差距。文章的章节涉及理论和概念问题，研究方法，我们提出的问题，以及基础情感科学到应用领域的翻译。我们得出的结论是，从情感科学的前50年中学到了很多东西，现在是时候为未来几十年提出新的理论、新的研究问题和创新方法了。
