People witness or experience episodes they explain as due to an emotion. Like ordinary folk, many academic theorists try to understand these obviously important episodes in the same way using the terms emotion, fear, anger, joy, grief, and so on. Yet, each term refers to a heterogeneous cluster of events with unclear boundaries and no single cause-rather than to a prepackaged pancultural bundle of common components (subjective experience, behavior, expression, thought, physiological change). Psychological construction is an alternative approach that treats the concepts of emotion, fear, and so on as the folk concepts they are. It invites emotion researchers in the sciences and humanities to work together to characterize different folk theories of emotion and their influence, but also, in a separate project, to hone more precise scientific concepts embedded in separate accounts of each component of emotional episodes, cognizant of both human diversity and what humans have in common.

情节的心理建构称为情绪。

人们目睹或经历他们解释为由于情绪而引起的情节。像普通人一样，许多学术理论家尝试使用情感、恐惧、愤怒、喜悦、悲伤等术语以同样的方式理解这些明显重要的事件。然而，每个术语都指的是一组异质的事件，边界不明确，没有单一的原因，而不是预先包装的泛文化束的共同组成部分（主观经验、行为、表达、思想、生理变化）。心理建构是另一种方法，它将情绪、恐惧等概念视为民间概念。它邀请科学和人文领域的情感研究人员共同努力表征不同的民间情感理论及其影响，而且，在一个单独的项目中，磨练更精确的科学概念，这些概念嵌入在对情绪发作的每个组成部分的单独描述中，认识到人类的多样性和人类的共同点。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2021 APA，保留所有权利）。
