The Metaphorical Representation of Affect
TL;DR: This article investigated the metaphorical representation of affect in social-cognition and clinical psychology research, and concluded that metaphorical representations of affect have considerable merit, and suggested an expanded research agenda including (a) other perceptual experiences (such as those related to taste and temperature), (b) potential cultural variations, (c) neuroimaging research and (d) the elucidation of real world consequences.
