Abstract Affect plays an important role in the information behavior of early career academics. While there is a recognition of the importance of affect to information behavior in the information science literature, there has been a lack of empirical research that details its influence. Using a constructivist grounded theory methodology, early career academics were followed for a 5- to 7-month period and data were collected using in-depth and brief, ‘check-in’ interviews. Three prominent aspects of early career academics' affective experiences are described and their connection to specific information behavior is discussed, including feelings of: stress (linked to prioritization, information nonuse, information avoidance, and information seeking from colleagues); frustration (linked to prioritization and decision making to discontinue, persevere, or change tactics); and, stability and belonging (linked to comparison as a way of using information, seeking help, building information relationships, and sharing information with colleagues).

“我处于纯粹的生存模式”：早期职业学者的信息行为和情感体验

摘要 情感在早期职业学者的信息行为中起着重要作用。虽然在信息科学文献中认识到影响对信息行为的重要性，但缺乏详细说明其影响的实证研究。使用建构主义扎根理论方法，对早期职业学者进行了 5 到 7 个月的跟踪，并使用深入而简短的“签到”访谈收集数据。描述了早期职业学者情感体验的三个突出方面，并讨论了它们与特定信息行为的联系，包括感觉：压力（与优先排序、信息不使用、信息回避和从同事那里寻求信息有关）；挫败感（与优先排序和停止决策有关，坚持，或改变策略）；以及稳定性和归属感（与作为使用信息、寻求帮助、建立信息关系和与同事共享信息的比较方式）相关联。
