Not easy to find the meaning of "Brabant" and other words

In the Book of Human Emotions section, there are no definitions for the words. I had to go on a deep dive to discover that Brabant means wanting to push someone's buttons. It's not a very common term - much less common than Schadenfreude, I think, which also does not have a link and someone would have to search for it if they didn't know what it meant.

Should a short definition be added to each of the terms in that section and other sections?

for further clarification, the link for Brabant, goes to its more common definitions, which are a plough and a region in Belgium. So maybe we should just remove the term, "Brabant"?

I had to use the search term "Brabant Tiffany Watt Book of Human Emotions" to discover what it meant. So it's pretty obscure - I wasn't able to find an online dictionary with the definition 4and3and2and1 (talk) 18:33, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Unscientific content

"Emotional equations" by Chip Conley is based on his own observations and not scientific research. I will remove the section by the end of 2020 if no one proves me wrong. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DominykasMrk (talk • contribs) 15:32, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Conflation with theories of the construction or evolution of emotions

I am concerned that this article, opening as it does with a section on theories of the origin/construction of emotions, conflates a discussion of their origin with one about their classification. In the last 20 years, a great deal of work has gone into the application of emotional studies. There have been two Nobel prizes in behavioural economics, there's a strong research group at the Queen Mary Centre for the History of Emotions ([1]https://projects.history.qmul.ac.uk/emotions/) and another at the University of Geneva-based Swiss Centre for Affective Studies ([2]https://www.unige.ch/cisa/). Much of this work revolves around classification rather than construction. My fear is that someone reading this article will be misled into an exploration of construction/origin when they have visited a page that should more appropriately lead them to these application studies.
