We need more precise, quantitative models of sentiments

Behav Brain Sci. 2017 Jan:40:e236. doi: 10.1017/S0140525X16000753.

Abstract

The constructs of attitudes, emotions, and sentiments are often only verbally defined and therefore somewhat vague. The sentiment construct might be fruitfully modeled as a result of sampling processes, complementing the Attitude-Scenario-Emotion model in explaining similarities and differences in sentiments across different cultures.
