Abstract
Introduction
Emotion is one of the main drivers of the formation of works of art in particular. Poets always express their aroused emotions as a result of encountering social and internal phenomena and events in the form of poetry. Scholars have emphasized the value of emotions in writing poetry and have considered emotion as the fundamental element of poetry to the extent that Shafii Kodkani considered emotionless poetry to be dead and soulless poetry. Considering the value of emotions, scholars of the past have paid attention to the element of emotion in their studies of poetry. Since its inception, the study of emotions has suffered many harms; Because researchers have done research in this field with incorrect assumptions and without paying attention to psychological knowledge, which has caused great damage to the flow of emotional research. Lately, many dissertations have been devoted to the study of emotion and its types in poets' poetry; but the researchers, regardless of the fact that emotion is one of the fundamental discussions of psychology, have done emotional analysis of the poem, which has caused a lot of damage to these researches and the researchers cannot accept the scientific results. have been achieved. Therefore, it is necessary to use methods appropriate to the subject and psychological knowledge because emotion is one of the basic discussions of psychologists' knowledge and psychologists have studied human emotions in its broad form. The present research has been done to identify the pathology of the flow of emotional research, especially theses. In addition, recently, in order to identify the types of emotions, the theory of "fundamental emotions" by Robert Plachik has been proposed as one of the strategies for researching the emotions of poetry. This research was done according to the following questions:
1. Which problems emotional research face in literature?
2. What methods can be used to improve emotional research?
 
Review
Due to its value in poetry, emotion has always been the focus of researchers. Due to some reasons, these researches have been affected by a lot of problems, which has not been researched so far. Of course, some work has been done on the problems of literary research; Among them, Ali Gholami-Nejad and Ehsan Gubool (2006) in the article "Problems of Persian Language and Literature Theses", scientific-literary macro-view, lack of specific scientific-research method, selection of general topics, Carrying out repetitive topics and... have been considered as the problems of these theses; Aladdin Tabatabai (1386) in his article "Points on the Challenges of Some Persian Cultures", considers the working method, the lack of knowledge and resources to be the shortcoming of Persian language cultures; Maryam Draper (2013) in the article "Classification and Problems of Persian Stylistic Researches and Proposed Solutions", the predominance of historical mentality, lack of theoretical support, not using linguistic knowledge, etc. The problems of stylistic studies is known; Mohammad Yazdan Jo et al. (2017) in the article "Problems of Rhetoric Science Discussions in Rhetoric Books", mentioning repeated definitions and examples, excessive use of Arabic and extreme rewriting, etc. are among the problem of this Researches have stated; Elham Ganj Karimi et al. (2019) in the article "Pathology of Atar Research Articles in the Field of Comparative Literature", lack of methodology, lack of scientific accuracy and detail, repetitive topics, ignoring new theories, etc. are the most important shortcomings. Despite these researches, no efforts have been made in the field of emotional studies pathology; Accordingly, this is the first research that has been done on this issue.
 
Research Methodology
The present essay has analyzed the theses written in the field of emotional research in a descriptive-analytical way. In this research, most of the dissertations written in this field of investigation and its major harms are identified and ranked according to the evidence, and finally, the theory of "fundamental emotions" by Robert Plachik, having more emotional variations, is the best model for research. The emotional features of the poem are suggested.
 
Discussion
In Persian literature, theses and articles have been written in the field of emotional analysis of some poets' poems. This research has suffered serious pathology due to the esoteric nature and unclear boundaries of emotions and the use of non-scientific theories and divisions. First, none of these researches are theory-oriented and methodical; Because this research was done based on previous works or incorrect assumptions of researchers who did not have a proper understanding of emotion. In most of these researches, emotions are divided into individual, social and human, this classification has caused researchers to mention all human and social content as emotions and forget the important emotions. As a result, it can be said that it was not theory oriented, lack of scientific methodology, wrong understanding of emotion and its types, judgment on the apparent meaning of words, wrong choice of titles, mismatch of title and content, similarity of contents of different titles and Generalization is one of the great harms that threatens these researches.
