What five feelings do you consider to be the strongest? I was asked this question on social networks. The answer requires clarification, because everything is not so simple. There are many theories of emotions. For example, according to psychophysiological theory, emotions are reduced to physiological changes in the body, which a person perceives as emotions. Evolutionary theories - emotions are an adaptive reaction to an unconditional signal, to which the psyche reacts based on past experience and personal characteristics. Cognitive theories view emotion as a response driven by cognitive processes. For example, as a reaction to our thoughts, imagination. There are also many classifications of emotions, scientific psychologists do not have a common opinion 🙉 For example, here is a table (see below) - 12 basic emotions that are most often found among the authors of discrete classifications. And this is just one of the approaches))🙄 Yes, with emotions everything is not clear. Not to mention the fact that a number of authors make a division - emotions, feelings, affects. How can I answer the question, which are the 5 strongest? 🤷‍♀️ I’ll allow myself to rely on the basic ones, which in psychological circles for the most part do not raise doubts - fear, anger, joy, sadness. Each feeling has shades, for example: Anger: irritation, anger, fury, hatred, rage. Fear: anxiety, excitement, panic, horror. Joy: enthusiasm, euphoria. Sadness: melancholy, sadness, devastation, indifference, powerlessness, unhappiness. The list goes on. Based on the basic feelings, taking into account their intensity, I would call them strong: ✔️ rage ✔️ horror ✔️ euphoria ✔️ total unhappiness (the highest degree of sadness) I would classify the 5th as a mature feeling ✔️ love Of course, someone will object. There is no single correct answer 😉😊 The main thing (practically) is to live your feelings, to be aware of them. I’ll tell you how to do this tomorrow in “Notes of a Psychologist” at “ECHO OF MOSCOW in Samara”. I’ll post a recording of the broadcast 😊 Subscribe to me! ©Angelina Seagal 🧡🌈 Normal psychologist Author of the channel "PSYCHOLOGY with Angelina Seagal" Full member of the PPL Presenter of the program "Notes of a Psychologist" on "ECHO of Moscow in Samara" Link to my YouTube channel - PSYCHOLOGY with Angelina Seagal #PsychologywithAngelinaSigal
