  • The Confrustion Constellation: A New Way of Looking at Confusion and Frustration Ryan S. Baker Elizabeth Cloude Juliana M. A. L. Andres Zhanlan Wei Cognitive Science AbstractThere has been considerable research on confusion and frustration that has treated them as two unitary constructs, distinct from each other. In this article, we argue that there is instead a constellation of different types of confusion and frustration, with different antecedents, manifestations, and impacts, and that the commonalities between many types of confusion and frustration justify thinking of them as part of the same constellation of affect, distinct from other prominent affective categories. We discuss how these types of affect have been considered historically and in key models. We then discuss unusual manifestations of each form of affect that have been documented in the literature, and what light they shed on the broader constructs. We conclude with a discussion of a new theoretical framing that treats confusion and frustration as a confrustion constellation, and the opportunities and open questions that this perspective presents. 10.1111/cogs.70035 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
