Emotions are discrete, automatic responses to universally shared, culture-specific and
individual-specific events. The emotion terms, such as anger, fear, etcetera, denote a family
of related states sharing at least 12 characteristics, which distinguish one emotion family
from another, as well as from other affective states. These affective responses are
preprogrammed and involuntary, but are also shaped by life experiences.
