The current article discusses the distinction between affective valence—the degree to which an affective response represents pleasure or displeasure—and semantic valence, the degree to which an object or event is considered positive or negative. To date, measures that reflect positivity and negativity are usually placed under the same conceptual umbrella (e.g., valence, affective, emotional), with minimal distinction between the modes of valence they reflect. Recent work suggests that what might seem to reflect a monolithic structure of valence has at least two different, confounding underlying sources, affective and semantic, that are fundamentally distinct, dissociable, and that obey different, recognizable rules. The current work discusses this distinction and provides implications for affective science from both the theoretical and the empirical perspective.

价的情感和语义表示：一个概念框架

本文讨论了情感价（情感反应表示愉悦或不悦的程度）与语义价之间的区别，语义价即对象或事件被认为是积极或消极的程度。迄今为止，反映阳性和否定性的量度通常置于同一概念框架（例如，价，情感，情感）下，它们所反映的价态之间的区别很小。最近的工作表明，似乎反映了价的整体结构的东西至少有两个不同的，令人混淆的潜在来源，即情感和语义，它们从根本上是不同的，可分离的，并且遵循不同的，可识别的规则。
