TY - JOUR PY - 2010// TI - Has there been Conceptual Progress in The Science of Emotion? JO - Emotion review A1 - Zachar, Peter SP - 381 EP - 382 VL - 2 IS - 4 N2 - Izard’s claim that the term emotion works well as an adjective is closer to B. F. Skinner’s position than is acknowledged. Based on Izard’s survey of scientists, I argue that the lack of consensus on emotion as a unitary construct could be considered to represent the dissolution of emotions. Given that something similar has happened in biology with the dissolution of the unitary gene construct, this development in psychology may not be as problematic as it initially sounds.
