Emotion

edit

Emotion refers to a subjective complex pattern of changes, including physiological arousal, cognitive processes, feelings and behavioural reactions, in response to a personally significant situation. (American Psychological Association, 2016) There have been a number of psychologists who have studied emotion and worked towards identifying different types of emotion. Shaver et al. (2001) identified six primary emotions. Attached to these six emotions, there are secondary and tertiary emotions.

Ekman (2003), also found six universal emotions. These emotions were happiness, sadness, surprise, fear, anger, and disgust and also created an atlas of over 10,000 human facial expresions and the emotions that are related to these facial expressions.
