p.23 Our task is to discover by what criteria... one does actually recognize and label the emotions in the
nonintrospecting organisms.
p.27 It is not a response, as such, nor a stimulus situation, as such, that constitutes
the behavior definition of an emotion, but rather the response as affection or calculated to affect the stimulus situation.
p.28 To sum up, our three emotions [fear, rage, love]. In the case of each it appears
that the thing which is characteristic and which defines it for us as an instance of such and such an emotion is
not the nature of the individual stimuli, as such, nor the nature of the individual responses, as such, but rather the
gross behavior result, i.e., the nature of the back-action of the responses upon the stimuli.
