Various parts in the brain can trigger different emotions. For example, the amygdala is the locus of fear. The amygdala senses fear and it orchestrates physical actions and emotions. [10] From this experiment, researchers concluded that these specific emotions are innate.
Each primary process or “basic” discrete emotion is posited to evoke a specific response tendency that will address a specific evolutionarily important need (e.g., protection from harm by fear, rejection of harmful substances by disgust).
Discrete Emotion refers to the concept of fundamental emotions, such as happiness, sadness, anger, surprise, disgust, and fear, that are universally shared among cultures and quantified using ordinal values for emotional expression levels.
Traditionally, it was assumed that each discrete emotion (see Glossary) such as fear, anger, sadness, and joy emerged from a specific anatomically-defined region or circuit traversing the “limbic system” and brainstem nuclei [e.g., a hypothalamic-amygdala-PAG circuit, 1, 2, 3].
For instance, over time via evolution, the discrete emotion of fear developed as a mechanism to avoid danger and enhance the survival of our genes. According to basic emotion theories, each discrete emotion solves a unique adaptive problem.
Aug 8, 2016 · The current manuscript presents four studies that validate a new instrument, the Discrete Emotions Questionnaire (DEQ), that is sensitive to eight distinct state emotions: anger, disgust, fear, anxiety, sadness, happiness, relaxation, and desire.
