Ambivalent Emotional Experiences of Art

What is it about?

This study explored the nature of pleasure evoked by everyday aesthetic objects. The result asserts the experience of emotional ambivalence occurred and was composed of a variety of nuanced emotions and related association, rather than just a combination of contradicting emotions. The study also depicted four types of attitudinal ambivalence: loss, diversity, socio-ideology, and distance, reflecting contextual elements intertwined into experience, and the connection between ambivalence and intense emotions.
