Categories of Emotions

The list of emotions a typical pre-K child understands may be limited to happy, mad, sad, and scared ( Harter, S., & Buddin, B. J.), but as they grow, the list expands, and they develop a more nuanced vocabulary to explain how they feel.

Over the past 40 years, several frameworks have emerged to describe and categorize emotions. There is the Plutchik Wheel of Emotions, Ekmans' Atlas of Emotions, and many others, but for this article, we are sharing a tree-like framework created by Dr. Phillip Shaver and his colleagues at the University of Denver.

In 1987, Shaver and his colleagues published Emotion Knowledge: Further Exploration of a Prototype Approach where they outlined a three-level hierarchy of emotions and categorized words within that hierarchy. In the paper, they identifed six primary emotions: Anger, Fear, Joy, Love, Sadness, and Surprise - And they identifed 25 secondary emotions and 135 words that represent more descriptive tertiary emotions.

Here is the complete list of emotions and how they are categorized:

1. Anger

Disgust: Contempt, disgust, revulsion

Envy: Envy, jealousy

Exasperation: Exasperation, frustration

Irritation: Aggravation, agitation, annoyance, grouchiness, grumpiness, irritation

Rage: Anger, bitterness, dislike, ferocity, fury, hate, hostility, loathing, outrage, rage, resentment, scorn, spite, vengefulness, wrath

Torment: Torment

2. Fear

Horror: Alarm, fear, fright, horror, hysteria, mortification, panic, shock, terror

Nervousness: Anxiety, apprehension, distress, dread, nervousness, tenseness, uneasiness, worry

3. Joy

Cheerfulness: Amusement, bliss, cheerfulness, delight, ecstasy, elation, enjoyment, euphoria, gaiety, gladness, glee, happiness, jolliness, joviality, joy, jubilation, satisfaction

Contentment: Contentment, pleasure

Enthrallment: Enthrallment, rapture

Optimism: Eagerness, hope, optimism

Pride: Pride, triumph

Relief: Relief

Zest: Enthusiasm, excitement, exhilaration, thrill, zeal, zest

4. Love

Affection: Adoration, affection, attraction, caring, compassion, fondness, liking, love, sentimentality, tenderness

Longing: Longing

Lust: Arousal, desire, infatuation, lust, passion

5. Sadness

List of Emotions: 135 Words that Express Feelings

I'm not sure what I will do with the light painting, I was struggling trying to capture his face while also shining the light.

I am trying more variety, I kind of get stuck with the same positions and angles because I like how they look and I like my subject to be centered but I know it can start to get boring. I might try a full body shot or try him looking away from the camera.

With the Deconstruction I do have a picture of my brother holding the picture, I thought if I captured it in another area of the backyard, it would look good.

Minimum 6 more pieces to get to 12. (Process images can make up pieces 13-15, so you'll have to choose either Yellow or Deconstruction) Let's brainstorm those ideas right here. What other questions can we ask or topics can we explore within the idea of your essential question?

I'm very curious to see your light painting and where you go with that. I think it could be very interesting. Don't be afraid to go abstract with it - you don't have to draw a "thing" for it to be effective!

You have the strong theme of solid colors and the same subject over and over. I wonder if we could add some variety of wider and/or closer shots? Maybe some where he is turned away from the camera, or where we can't see his entire head/face? I like the drama of Red, where we get that high contrast. I wish he were wearing green in "Green."

I don't know that I get the "Deconstruction" - the color of the bush is very different - maybe he needs to be holding his own image? He's also very neutral in a lot of images - I love the fun and whimsy on his face in the purple/blue/red image - more of that please!

I also love that we have an entire environment in the Blue piece. I want to see more of where this boy lives and what he interacts with. I don't want to feel like he's trapped against a wall.

What is your essential question - how can we ANSWER that question in your next several pieces?
