    What are Emotions?

    Emotion comes from the Latin word emovere, meaning to move out, to remove, or to agitate. In the Oxford English Dictionary, emotion means any agitation of mind, feeling, passion. In short, emotion is a mental feeling.

    Emotions have various components.

    >> Physiological

    Emotion is abstract compared to the more palpable sensation, which is a physical feeling. Nonetheless, an emotion can also manifest physically like getting red-hot when angry, blushing when in love, and shaking when frightened. Emotional triggers can influence your physiology, such that it changes your muscle-tone, energy level, tone of voice, size of your pupil, heart rate, and blood pressure.

    >> Cognitive

    The type and intensity of an emotional response can depend on one’s thoughts, beliefs, and expectations of a person.

    >> Behavioral

    The behavioral component can be considered as a social aspect of the physiological changes triggered by an emotion. This includes facial expressions, body language, gesture, and sometimes also tone of voice.

    >> Subjective

    This personal component emphasizes on an individual’s response to an emotional trigger, which includes intensity and preference to what is pleasurable or not pleasurable. This takes into account that an emotional stimuli can be pleasurable for one individual but not pleasurable for another. The subjective component of emotion is debated among scholars. In some books, this is not considered a component of emotions.

    These components of emotion can cycle from physiological to cognitive then to behavioral wherein physiological involves your muscles and brain chemistry, cognitive involves recognizing the actual emotion, and behavioral pertains to the outward expression of emotions. Meanwhile, the subjective component is almost chronic and varies on previous experiences.

    Basic Emotions

    There are a handful of emotions that an individual can feel. A first century Chinese book called Book of Rites categorizes emotions into seven (joy, anger, sadness, fear, love, disliking, and liking). Meanwhile, a 20th century American psychologist, Paul Ekman, believes there are only six (anger, disgust, fear, happiness, sadness, surprise). However, the most prominent categorization of emotions is American psychologist’s Robert Plutchik’s Wheel of Emotions.

    Plutchik believes that emotions have come from our cavemen ancestors and has become biologically hardwired in all human beings. He wrote ten postulates about basic emotions.

    >> The concept of emotion is highly applicable to various evolutionary levels. This applies to humans and animals.

    >> Emotions have a history of evolution. These have evolved into various forms of expression in different species.

    >> Emotions serve various adaptive roles. These roles help organisms deal with important survival concerns that the environment
