Toward a consensual taxonomy of emotions
Cogn Emot.
2019 Feb.
Abstract
In this article, I chart certain origins of the science of emotion back to the cognitive revolution. I then highlight new developments in the field - the influences of emotion upon cognition, the focus on over 20 emotions, the expanding emphasis on positive emotion, and an abiding interest in the functions emotions serve. I close by arguing for the need for the field to move toward a conceptual taxonomy of emotions, to move beyond decades of terminological debates about what emotions are to a convergent effort to understand what emotions do for people.
Keywords: Taxonomy of emotions; appraisal theory; positive emotions.
