Study Notes
Emotions and Their Expression
- Pixar's Inside Out (2015) collaborated with Paul Ekman, a leading expert on emotions, who identified basic emotions: anger, surprise, disgust, enjoyment, fear, and sadness.
- Ekman's research also includes contempt as a seventh emotion, but for the film, only five were personified for simplicity.
- Other theorists, such as Jack, Garrod, and Schyns (2014), proposed there are four basic emotions due to similarities between facial expressions of disgust and anger.
Key Emotions and Their Characteristics
- Anger: Defined by extreme hostility; associated facial expressions include furrowing eyebrows and glaring eyes. Linked to violence and conflict.
- Contempt: Represents feelings of dislike towards those perceived as inferior; facial expressions include mild sneers and eye rolls. It is closely associated with disgust but stems from a sense of superiority.
- Disgust: Characterized by intense aversion; facial expressions include wrinkling the nose and scrunching eyebrows, often vocalized with “ew” or “yuck.”
- Enjoyment: Describes feelings of satisfaction; expressive through smiling and laughing.
- Fear: Involves perceived threats; identified with widened eyes, tensed mouth, and nervous behaviors like shaking.
- Sadness: Involves feelings of sorrow; expressed through frowning, crying, and sobbing.
- Surprise: Triggered by unexpected events; facial expressions include wide eyes, open mouth, and raised eyebrows.
Emotional Intelligence (EQ)
- EQ refers to the ability to understand and manage personal and others' emotions, crucial for building relationships and decision-making.

- Accurately perceive emotions in oneself and others.
