Plutchik's wheel of emotions
[edit]In 1980, Robert Plutchik diagrammed a wheel of eight emotions: joy, trust, fear, surprise, sadness, disgust, anger and anticipation, inspired by his Ten Postulates.[1][2] Plutchik also theorized twenty-four "Primary", "Secondary", and "Tertiary" dyads (feelings composed of two emotions).[3][4][5][6][7][8][9] The wheel emotions can be paired in four groups:
- Primary dyad = one petal apart = Love = Joy + Trust
- Secondary dyad = two petals apart = Envy = Sadness + Anger
- Tertiary dyad = three petals apart = Shame = Fear + Disgust
- Opposite emotions = four petals apart = Anticipation ∉ Surprise
There are also triads, emotions formed from 3 primary emotions.[10] This leads to a combination of 24 dyads and 32 triads, making 56 emotions at 1 intensity level.[11] Emotions can be mild or intense;[12] for example, distraction is a mild form of surprise, and rage is an intense form of anger. The kinds of relation between each pair of emotions are:

Similar emotions in the wheel are adjacent to each other.[13] Anger, Anticipation, Joy, and Trust are positive in valence, while Fear, Surprise, Sadness, and Disgust are negative in valence. Anger is classified as a "positive" emotion because it involves "moving toward" a goal[14], while surprise is negative because it is a violation of someone's territory.[15] The emotion dyads each have half-opposites and exact opposites:[16]
+ | Sadness | Joy |
---|---|---|
Anticipation | Pessimism | Optimism |
Surprise | Disapproval | Delight |
+ | Disgust | Trust |
---|---|---|
Joy | Morbidness | Love |
Sadness | Remorse | Sentimentality |
+ | Fear | Anger |
---|---|---|
Trust | Submission | Dominance |
Disgust | Shame | Contempt |
+ | Surprise | Anticipation |
---|---|---|
Anger | Outrage | Aggressiveness |
Fear | Awe | Anxiety |
+ | Surprise | Anticipation |
---|---|---|
Trust | Curiosity | Hope |
Disgust | Unbelief | Cynicism |
+ | Fear | Anger |
---|---|---|
Joy | Guilt | Pride |
Sadness | Despair | Envy |
