Basic emotion theory (BET) has been, perhaps, the central narrative in the science of emotion. As Crivelli and Fridlund (J Nonverbal Behav 125:1–34, 2019, this issue) would have it, however, BET is ready to be put to rest, facing “last stands” and “fatal” empirical failures. Nothing could be further from the truth. Crivelli and Fridlund’s outdated treatment of BET, narrow focus on facial expressions of six emotions, inattention to robust empirical literatures, and overreliance on singular “critical tests” of a multifaceted theory, undermine their critique and belie the considerable advances guided by basic emotion theory.

基本情绪理论在二十一世纪的情绪研究中真正说了什么。

基本情感理论（BET）可能已经成为情感科学的中心叙述。就像Crivelli和Fridlund（J Nonverbal Behav 125：1–34，2019年这个问题）所愿的那样，BET准备好休息了，面临着“最后的立场”和“致命的”经验失败。没有东西会离事实很远。Crivelli和Fridlund对BET的过时处理，对六种情感的面部表情的狭narrow关注，对可靠的经验文献的关注不足以及对多方面理论的奇异“批判性测试”的依赖，破坏了他们的批评，并掩盖了基本情感理论所指导的巨大进步。
