The 6 Types of Basic Emotions and Their Effect on Human Behavior

 There are many different types of emotions that have an influence on how we
live and interact with others. At times, it may seem like we are ruled by these
emotions. The choices we make, the actions we take, and the perceptions we have
are all influenced by the emotions we are experiencing at any given moment.

Psychologists have also tried to identify the different types of emotions that
people experience. A few different theories have emerged to categorize and explain
the emotions that people feel.

Basic Emotions

During the 1970s, psychologist Paul Eckman identified six basic emotions that
he suggested were universally experienced in all human cultures. The emotions he
identified were happiness, sadness, disgust, fear, surprise, and anger. He later
expanded his list of basic emotions to include such things as pride, shame,
embarrassment, and excitement.

https://www.google.com/search?q=what+is+emotions&sxsrf=ALeKk03jnz731ufnmal33xQpIxhMxd6S

Combining Emotions

Psychologist Robert Plutchik put forth a "wheel of emotions" that worked something
like the color wheel. Emotions can be combined to form different feelings, much like
colors can be mixed to create other shades. According to this theory, the more basic
emotions act something like building blocks. More complex, sometimes mixed
emotions, are blending of these more basic ones. For example, basic emotions such
as joy and trust can be combined to create love.
Rather than being entirely distinct, however, the researchers found that people
experience these emotions along a gradient. Let's take a closer look at some of the
basic types of emotions and explore the impact they have on human behavior.

Happiness

Of all the different types of emotions, happiness

tends to be the one that people strive for the most.
Happiness is often defined as a pleasant emotional state
that is characterized by feelings of contentment, joy,
gratification, satisfaction, and well-being.
Research on happiness has increased significantly since the 1960s within a number
of disciplines, including the branch of psychology known as positive psychology. This
type of emotion is sometimes expressed through:

 Facial expressions: such as smiling

 Body language: such as a relaxed stance
 Tone of voice: an upbeat, pleasant way of speaking

While happiness is considered one of the basic human emotions, the things
we think will create happiness tend to be heavily influenced by culture. For example,
pop culture influences tend to emphasize that attaining certain things such as buying
a home or having a high-paying job will result in happiness.

Sadness

Sadness is another type of emotion often defined as

a transient emotional state characterized by feelings of
disappointment, grief, hopelessness, disinterest, and
dampened mood.
Like other emotions, sadness is something that all people
experience from time to time. In some cases, people can
experience prolonged and severe periods of sadness that can turn into depression.
Sadness can be expressed in a number of ways including:
 Crying
 Dampened mood
 Lethargy
 Quietness
 Withdrawal from others

The type and severity of sadness can vary depending upon the root cause, and
how people cope with such feelings can also differ. Sadness can often lead people
to engage in coping mechanisms such as avoiding other people, self-medicating,
and ruminating on negative thoughts. Such behaviors can actually exacerbate
feelings of sadness and prolong the duration of the emotion.
Fear

Fear is a powerful emotion that can also play an important role in survival.
When you face some sort of danger and experience fear, you go through what is
known as the fight or flight response.
Your muscles become tense, your heart rate and respiration increase, and your mind
becomes more alert, priming your body to either run from the danger or stand and
fight.
This response helps ensure that you are prepared to effectively deal with threats in
your environment. Expressions of this type of emotion can include:
 Facial expressions: such as widening the eyes and pulling back the chin
 Body language: attempts to hide or flea from the threat
 Physiological reactions: such as rapid breathing and heartbeat
Of course, not everyone experiences fear in the same way. Some people may be
more sensitive to fear and certain situations or objects may be more likely to trigger
this emotion.
Fear is the emotional response to an immediate threat. We can also develop a
similar reaction to anticipated threats or even our thoughts about potential dangers,
and this is what we generally think of as anxiety. Social anxiety, for example,
involves an anticipated fear of social situations.

Disgust

Disgust is another of the original six basic emotions

described by Eckman. Disgust can be displayed in a
number of ways including:
 Body language: turning away from the object of
disgust
 Physical reactions: such as vomiting or retching
 Facial expressions: such as wrinkling the nose
and curling the upper lip
This sense of revulsion can originate from a number of things, including an
unpleasant taste, sight, or smell. Researchers believe that this emotion evolved as a
reaction to foods that might be harmful or fatal. When people smell or taste foods
that have gone bad, for example, disgust is a typical reaction.
Poor hygiene, infection, blood, rot, and death can also trigger a disgust response.
This may be the body's way of avoiding things that may carry transmittable diseases.
People can also experience moral disgust when they observe others engaging in
behaviors that they find distasteful, immoral, or evil.
Anger

Anger can be a particularly powerful emotion

characterized by feelings of hostility, agitation, frustration, and
antagonism towards others. Like fear, anger can play a part
in your body's fight or flight response.
When a threat generates feelings of anger, you may be
inclined to fend off the danger and protect yourself. Anger is
often displayed through:
 Facial expressions: such as frowning or glaring
 Body language: such as taking a strong stance or turning away
 Tone of voice: such as speaking gruffly or yelling
 Physiological responses: such as sweating or turning red
 Aggressive behaviors: such as hitting, kicking, or throwing objects

While anger is often thought of as a negative emotion, it can sometimes be a

good thing. It can be constructive in helping clarify your needs in a relationship, and
it can also motivate you to take actions and find solutions to things that are bothering
you.
Anger can become a problem, however, when it is excessive or expressed in
ways that are unhealthy, dangerous, or harmful to others. Uncontrolled anger can
quickly turn to aggression, abuse, or violence. This type of emotion can have
both mental and physical consequences. Unchecked anger can make it difficult to
make rational decisions and can even have an impact on your physical health.

Surprise

Surprise is another one of the six basic types of human

emotions originally described by Eckman. Surprise is usually
quite brief and is characterized by a physiological startle
response following something unexpected.
This type of emotion can be positive, negative, or neutral. An
unpleasant surprise, for example, might involve someone
jumping out from behind a tree and scaring you as you walk to
your car at night.
An example of a pleasant surprise would be arriving home to find that your
closest friends have gathered to celebrate your birthday. Surprise is often
characterized by:
 Facial expressions: such as raising the brows, widening the eyes, and
opening the mouth
 Physical responses: such as jumping back
 Verbal reactions: such as yelling, screaming, or gasping
Surprise is another type of emotion that can trigger the fight or flight response.
When startled, people may experience a burst of adrenaline that helps prepare the
body to either fight or flee.

Other Types of Emotions

The six basic emotions described by Eckman are just a portion of the many different
types of emotions that people are capable of experiencing. Eckman's theory
suggests that these core emotions are universal throughout cultures all over the
world.
However, other theories and new research continue to explore the many different
types of emotions and how they are classified. Eckman later added a number of
other emotions to his list but suggested that unlike his original six emotions, not all of
these could necessarily be encoded through facial expressions. Some of the
emotions he later identified included:
 Amusement
 Contempt
 Contentment
 Embarrassment
 Excitement
 Guilt
 Pride in Achievement
 Relief
 Satisfaction
 Shame

A Word From Verywell

Emotions play a critical role in how we live our lives, from influencing how we
engage with others in our day to day lives to affecting the decisions we make. By
understanding some of the different types of emotions, you can gain a deeper
understanding of how these emotions are expressed and the impact they have on
your behavior.
It is important to remember, however, that no emotion is an island. Instead,
the many emotions you experience are different and complex, working together to
create the rich and varied fabric of your emotional life.
