Sostengo que la controversia entre la teoría de las emociones básicas y el construccionismo psicológico yace en diferencias sobre el rol de los conceptos cotidianos de emoción en el ámbito científico. Para esto, analizo las discusiones en torno a la universalidad de las expresiones faciales y a la existencia de correspondencias neurofisiológicas para cada emoción. Muestro que en ambas discusiones estamos en un espacio de subdeterminación empírica, lo que impide saldar la controversia aludiendo a resultados experimentales. Finalizo con algunas sugerencias sobre cómo podría saldarse la controversia.
I argue that the controversy between Basic Emotion Theory and Psychological Constructionism lies in differences regarding the role of folk concepts of emotion in the scientific domain. To do so, I analyze the discussions surrounding the universality of facial expressions and the existence of neurophysiological correspondences for each emotion. I show that in both discussions we are in a space of empirical underdetermination, that precludes settling the controversy by appealing to experimental results. Finally, I conclude with some suggestions as to how to settle the controversy
