Cowen and Keltner (2017) published the latest installment in a longstanding debate about whether measures of emotion organize themselves into categories or array themselves more continuously along affective dimensions. We discuss several notable features of the study and suggest future studies should consider asking questions more directly about physical and psychological variation within emotion categories as well as similarities between categories.

情感类别的本质：评论 Cowen 和 Keltner

Cowen 和 Keltner（2017 年）发表了最新一期的文章，讨论了情感测量是将自己组织成类别还是沿​​着情感维度更连续地排列自己。我们讨论了该研究的几个显着特征，并建议未来的研究应考虑更直接地提出有关情绪类别内的生理和心理变化以及类别之间的相似性的问题。
