Definition
情绪 (qíngxù) refers to a temporary, reactive emotional state — mood, emotions, or feelings that can shift quickly (e.g., anger, excitement). It's more volatile and short-term than 心情 (xīnqíng 'mood, state of mind'), which is a steadier, longer-lasting inner feeling. 心态 (xīntài 'mentality, attitude') is a stable mindset or outlook, not a passing emotion.
