The present contribution provides a constructive criticism of Brian Parkinson’s “Heart to Heart: A Relation-Alignment Approach to Emotion’s Social Effects.” I outline a number of points in Parkinson’s approach that I find particularly useful from a sociological perspective on emotions and provide suggestions for further extending his account. In doing so, I concentrate on issues regarding the social ontology of emotion, the proposition of emotional adjacency pairs in verbal and facial communication, the importance of social appraisals in intergroup contexts, and the relevance of social institutions for understanding how some emotions come to dominate certain social relations.

本稿对布莱恩·帕金森（Brian Parkinson）的“心连心：情感社会影响的关系调整方法”提出了建设性的批评。我概述了帕金森方法中的许多要点，从社会学角度来看，我发现这些点特别有用，并为进一步扩展他的观点提供了建议。在此过程中，我将重点关注以下方面的问题：情感的社会本体论，口头和面部交流中的情感邻接对的命题，群体间环境中的社会评价的重要性以及社会机构对于理解某些情感如何占主导地位的相关性一定的社会关系。
