Science convergence in affective research is associated with impactful multidisciplinary appeal rather than multidisciplinary content

V. Zhukov, A. M. Petersen, et al.

This pioneering research by Vitalii Zhukov and colleagues delves into how science convergence impacts research in affective and cognitive sciences. The study highlights that affectivism, which emphasizes emotions, leads to greater research impact compared to cognitivism. The findings unveil how multidisciplinarity plays a crucial role in this dynamic, suggesting that impactful research can indeed stem from concentrated efforts with broad appeal.
