ABOUT SOCIAL EMOTIONS;

In 1972, psychologist Paul Eckmansuggested that there are six basic emotions that are universal throughout human cultures:

This emotions necessarily depend on

other peoples thoughts, feelings or

actions.

During the 1980s, Robert Plutchik

introduced another emotion

classification system known as the

"wheel of emotions.”

In his theory he stated that there are 8

primary emotional dimensions.

WHEELS OF EMOTIONS

Like colors, primary emotions can be

expressed at different intensities and

can mix with one another to form

different emotions.

It is often suggested that social

emotions are specific determinants of

social behavior and certain social

behavior depend on certain social

emotions as well.

nature of one’s contact with them.
