TY - JOUR PY - 2010// TI - Some Plain Words on Emotion JO - Emotion review A1 - Kagan, Jerome SP - 221 EP - 224 VL - 2 IS - 3 N2 - This article discusses several problems affecting progress in research on emotion: (1) disagreements over the appropriate referents for an emotion; (2) the modest relations between the brain states provoked by an emotional incentive and the accompanying semantic appraisals or behaviors; and (3) the abstract nature and indifference to origin of the English words used to name emotions. The final section contains some suggestions for future research.
