Because human emotions are so complicated, experts are still unable to fully comprehend where they originate or how to categorize them. That being said, Paul Ekman named six primary or basic emotions in 1960 after conducting a number of tests examining emotion and facial expressions, including anger, fear, disgust, sadness, happiness, and surprise.
All people, are born with the capacity to recognize basic emotions, with the exception of those who have developmental problems like autism spectrum disorder, making them universally recognizable.
While a person is experiencing the autonomic responses of one of the “primaries,” secondary emotions like guilt and shame are acquired by socialization agents who define and identify these emotions.
In real life, one of the most crucial aspects of human nature is emotion. Your emotions contribute to your survival, direct your actions, and give you important information whenever interacting with others.
