Background: In recent years, the field of emotion research has seen a marked increase in theories and studies of emotional schemas—core beliefs about emotions and emotional experiences. This review serves to organise this growing body of literature, particularly as it relates to clinical practice. Methods: The review focuses specifically on literature relevant to emotional schema conceptualisation, aetiology and development, and relation to psychoemotional functioning. Pervasive limitations of past research are highlighted and areas needing further empirical attention are identified. Results: Growing evidence attests to the potential clinical implications of emotional schemas. However empirical advancement in this area is impeded by limited theoretical and operational integration across research. Conclusions: Through strategic research, the field could begin to build a more universal theoretical framework of emotional schemas. This would greatly improve our ability to research, understand, and therapeutically target a construct that may underlie a broad range of psychopathology.

情绪图式研究：调查结果与挑战回顾

背景：近年来，情绪研究领域的情绪图式（关于情绪和情绪体验的核心信念）的理论和研究显着增加。这篇综述有助于组织越来越多的文献，尤其是与临床实践相关的文献。方法：该综述特别关注与情绪图式概念化、病因和发展以及与心理情绪功能的关系相关的文献。突出了过去研究的普遍局限性，并确定了需要进一步经验关注的领域。结果：越来越多的证据证明了情绪图式的潜在临床意义。然而，该领域的实证进展受到跨研究的有限理论和操作整合的阻碍。结论：通过战略研究，该领域可以开始建立一个更普遍的情感图式理论框架。这将大大提高我们研究、理解和治疗目标的能力，该结构可能是广泛的精神病理学基础。
