LIST OF 270 HUMAN EMOTIONS (POSITIVE, NEGATIVE) - PSYCHOLOGY - 2025

The emotions are relatively brief and conscious experiences characterized by intense mental activity and a high degree of pleasure or displeasure. Emotion is usually related to humor, temperament, personality, disposition, and motivation.

In some theories, cognition is an important part of emotion. People who act on the basis of emotions may believe that they are not thinking, but mental processes are essential, particularly the interpretation of events.

For example, believing that a situation is dangerous will activate the nervous system (sweating, muscle tension, rapid breathing) and feel fear. However, other theories argue that emotion is a separate part and precedes cognition.

According to some theories, emotions are a sentimental state that results in physical and psychological changes that influence our behavior. The physiology of emotion is related to the activation of the nervous system.

Emotion is also related to behavioral tendency. Extroverts are more predisposed to be social and express their emotions, while introverts are more likely to withdraw socially and not express their emotions.

Research on emotions has increased significantly in the last two decades with many fields contributing to its study: psychology, neuroscience, endoquinology, medicine, history, sociology, and computational science.

How many emotions are there?

Although it is known that there are 6 types of basic emotions - fear, anger, disgust, sadness, surprise and joy - Paul Eckman's research has shown that the human face is capable of creating more than 7000 different facial expressions.

It seems that basic emotions serve as the basis for all the complex and subtle emotions that make up the human experience.
