4. What are emotions?
• A complex state of feeling that results in physical and
psychological changes that influence thought and behavior.
• Plutchik suggested that there are 8 primary emotional
dimensions.
• Happiness vs. Sadness
• Anger vs. Fear
• Trust vs. Disgust
• Surprise vs. anticipation
5. Types of Emotions
• Anger
• During this emotion, different
people react different . Like some
people remain calm in anger but
some show their anger even they
get rude. Some started crying (
specially girls) and some start
abusing ( specially boys). People
also feel sweat and shiver during
anger. These are the changes
that occur during anger.
6. Types of Emotions
• Fear
• Fear is the emotion that traps us
from early childhood and holds
our hand till death. Fear of Father,
fear of mother, fear of teacher,
fear of getting last, fear of exams.
In fear heartbeat increases and so
as blood pressure, one start
sweating. Like other emotions,
fear is also treated differently.
Some face the fear (men) and
some start crying (women).
7. Types of Emotions
• Sadness
• Someone said, “you
cannot find joy precious
until you meet sadness”.
Most of the people stop
talking when they are sad.
This is common to both
genders. Many people
don’t show their sadness
but very few show it and
want to get extra care.
8. Types of Emotions
• Happiness
• Like anger, happiness or you can say
the feeling of joy reacts distinctly in
different people. Some people start
dancing with delight, some start
shrieking, some remember the Giver
and say Thanks to the Giver (Almighty
Allah), while some forget Him. Many
people start crying with the sorrows
of joy (specially old fellows) while
many control their self and show no
expression.
9. Components of Emotions
Physical component

• Coordinated activity of
autonomic and somatic nervous
system
Mental Component

one who do not fear (B). When both are in the jungle; suddenly they
hear a roar. In reaction of this, A feels the emotion of fear and runs
away from danger where B feels the emotion of excitement as he do
not fear from lion and wants to see it so he moves towards danger.
12. So it is clear from example that for a same event; subjective,
physiological and expressive components of different people are
different from each other.

behave
