Recently, Paul Ekman, together with the Dalai Lama Foundation, published an Atlas of Emotions on the Internet. The thing turned out to be clear. Especially in the complex of sequential presentation of the names of emotions, the action of their characteristic triggers and moods. But in essence of the atlas itself, I would like to offer you a small mini-discussion dedicated to how adequate the proposed scheme is. And also how the perception of emotions still differs depending on culture and language. Thus, Ekman classically (for himself) identifies 5 main emotional spheres: sadness, anger, disgust, fear and joy. Let's take, for example, the area of ​​sadness. I am not the best translator in the world, so, just in case, I offer both the English version and the Russian version of the proposed map, translated by me. Its logic is simple. From left to right there is an increase in the intensity of the experience. I don’t know about you, but I have a strong feeling that in the same area there are emotions of completely different meanings. So, helplessness and despair, IMHO, are closer to the sphere of fear, which reflects the harm that a person may receive in the future. Submission (humility), IMHO, is generally closer to the sphere of conscience and morality than to the sphere of sadness. Indeed, in this emotion there is a certain internal decision to submit to order. And disappointment, despondency, hopelessness are more an area of ​​loss of meaning than a loss of a sense of happiness. It is quite possible that the vision I propose is more complex than the one used by Ekman, and therefore pitfalls can also be found in it. On the other hand, 12 emotional spheres allow you to more fully navigate the emotional world. In addition, in Russian words such as despair and disappointment have clearly greater energy intensity than submission or helplessness. Just like grief and suffering in the Russian language are clearly perceived as something more intense than sadness. It seems to me that in the Russian consciousness the sphere of sadness could represent something like a chain: Nostalgia - regret - sadness - melancholy - suffering - grief .What do you think?
