Emotion, in its most general definition, is an intense mental state that arises automatically in the nervous system rather than through conscious effort, and evokes either a positive or negative psychological response. An emotion is often differentiated from a feeling. Emotion would seem to be termed simularly to a value response James-Lange theory "William James proposed that contrary to common belief, awareness of bodily changes activated by a stimulus "is the emotion" (1890, p449). If no bodily changes are felt, there is only an intellectual thought, devoid of emotional warmth." One of the most influential classification approaches in the study of emotion is Robert Plutchik's eight primary emotions. The emotions that Plutchik lists as primary are: anger fear sadness joy disgust surprise curiosity acceptance Similar to the way primary colors combine, primary emotions are believed to blend together to form the full spectrum of human emotional experience. Plutchik reasons that these eight are primary on evolutionary grounds, by 'relating each to behavior with survival value'.
