How do facial movements and verbal statements relate to emotional processes? A familiar answer is that the primary phenomenon is an internally located emotion that may then get expressed on the face and represented in words. In this view, emotion’s social functions and effects are indirect consequences of prior intrapsychic states or events. By contrast, my target article argued that facial and verbal activity are constituents rather than consequences of the dynamic production of fundamentally relational emotions. This article clarifies this alternative position and evaluates potential counterarguments.

作者回复：使社会关系与面孔，言语和情感保持一致

面部动作和言语表达与情感过程有何关系？一个常见的答案是，主要现象是一种位于内部的情绪，然后可能会在脸上表达出来并以言语表达。按照这种观点，情绪的社会功能和影响是先前的内在心理状态或事件的间接后果。相比之下，我的目标文章认为，面部和言语活动是构成要素，而不是动态产生基本关系情感的结果。本文阐明了这一替代立场，并评估了潜在的反对意见。
