If so, then emoion must be innate!) dimensional pov: emoion is connected to our physiology; emoion is +ve or ve and emoion connected to physiological acivity: ex. Fear comes from abc, sadness comes from xyz. Discrete emoion theory: humans have innate basic emoions; are universal (cross- culturally recognized). Each emoion is a separate (discrete) category: six basic categories: anger, disgust, fear, happiness, sadness, and surprise, recognizable by facial expression and produced by dif. biological processes dif. emoions arise from separate neural systems (paul ekman) Dimensional models: conceptualized human emoions by where they lie on two dimensions. Measuring/categorizing emoions emoions measured thru mulidimensional scaling (categorized by foundaional characterisics) two dimensions of arousal (+/-ve event and commensurate emoion is) and valence (physiological arousal insigates emoion: ex.
