Jan 1, 2017 · More recently, a metaanalysis (Lench, Flores, & Bench, 2011) addressed the question of whether discrete emotions are associated with a coherent pattern of emotion components. They conclude that behavioral, experiential, and physiological responses tended to covary following elicitation of the discrete emotions of happiness, sadness, anger, and ...
Oct 7, 2009 · Individual emotions also coassemble with other emotions to form contingent emotion patterns that stabilize over repetitions and time. Thus, discrete emotions are both the product and stuff of system organization. The systems are self-organizing in the sense that recursive interactions among component processes generate emergent properties.

emotions self-organize as a coherent set or pattern of interacting emotions (Ackerman et al., 1997; Izard, 1972; Izard and Youngstrom, 1996). Thus the first discrete emotion activated by a new situation may have minimal effects before other emotions come into play. The set as a whole emerges as a pattern of emotions or motivational complex.
The researchers’ “Somatovisceral Afference Model of Emotion” (SAME) describes three (historically) prototypical cases: (1) “unambiguous” patterns where a hypothetical highly specified ANS pattern for a discrete emotion may be experienced without cognitive deliberation beyond pattern recognition (the pro-James perspective); (2) “general arousal” which requires a cognitive ...
Sep 1, 2012 · Similarly, although the most commonly encountered discrete emotion theory, basic emotions, posits six basic emotions (happiness, sadness, fear, anger, disgust, and surprise), other discrete emotion theories have posited a different number of emotions 5, 22, 25. Basic emotion theories propose that these emotion categories are biologically inherited and are basic in the sense that they cannot be ...

However, the emotions within an emotion family may also be “discrete emotions”, in that they have unique characteristics and may be distinguishable from one another. The discrete states to which individuals would assign these labels almost certainly differ on dimensions such as arousal, valence, and motivational intensity, among other differences, while all possessing some features that ...
