Why are a few of these links external rather than Wikipedia links?? Georgia guy 22:28, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
Is repentance really an emotion? Does it belong on this template? Aleta 01:50, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
I object to this template and will propose that it be deleted if you do not change it so that it does not reflect the field of Psychology. -- Mattisse 21:22, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
Since the very distinction between basic and other emotions is highly controversial (see article on emotions for instance) I suggest that this grouping is removed. I am going to incorporate the basic ones into the main group. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thomascochrane ( talk • contribs) 11:29, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
Jcbutler has replaced the basic distinction. Whilst I note the usefulness and the agreement in psychology about these basic emotions (but only the kind that is reported by New Scientist), there are some extremely prominent theories that disagree (e.g. Ekman, Prinz, Solomon). Secondly, the list is culturally biased, since not all these terms have equivalents in others languages. Thirdly, the very notion of 'basic' is highly theory laden, where there is no consensus that emotions have such innate emotion specific systems (e.g. a fear system rather than simply dimensions). Fourthly the term implies that non-basic emotions are built from basic emotions which is again not agreed.
Perhaps some sort of compromise is possible here? We could have a list of 'common' emotions (no more than ten) and then a second list of all the rest (including ambiguous candidates like lust, interest etc.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thomascochrane ( talk • contribs) 22:06, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
I suggest a merge from {{ Emotion}} to here, to prevent redundancy, and because the larger list seems more worthwhile, and because it is not an Article series hence it makes more sense to present these links as a navigational footer template. Any thoughts/objections? -- Quiddity ( talk) 21:23, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
I'm going to merge the content of these templates to here, and deprecate the use of the sidebar {{ emotion}}, based on the feedback in this thread, and Template talk:Emotion#Template change. I'll also confirm that it is included on all the pages that it links to.
Please discuss any problems here. Thanks. -- Quiddity ( talk) 19:56, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
Common emotions?! I know some of us didn't like the term "basic" but at least it has some usage in psychology. Common doesn't mean anything except "common" and unless there is evidence showing that anger actually occurs more frequently than affection, let's just call the whole thing off and have a single list already! -- Jcbutler ( talk) 23:30, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
ok, I agree, it was a rubbish compromise! -- Thomascochrane ( talk) 08:46, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
I very much like where this is going. I can't believe there is no comprehensive taxonomy of emotion. You would think one could explore its evolution through its expression during developement just as we note evolutionary development through zygote development. -- xtss33 17:02, 16 June 2008 (MST) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.88.170.34 ( talk)
The current link to Desire in this template goes to a disambiguation page. This is not technically correct, as it should rather go to an article, but I'm having trouble figuring out which article to send it to. WP doesn't currently have an article for Desire (emotion). Anyone have any ideas? Should I just turn it red? SlackerMom ( talk) 14:30, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
Are honesty and patience considered emotions? -- BryanD ( talk) 01:26, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
irritability proposed deleted here and then I discovered this template. Earlypsychosis ( talk) 05:09, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
Shouldn't the emotion "relief" be added? Maybe I'm just missing something. But I think it should be added. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.203.158.104 ( talk) 22:13, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
I just finished removing a number of items from this list because they are not, in fact "emotions" -- and I'm sure I've missed some. (I also considered a number of items that I left on the list because I was not entirely certain they should be removed.)
This template is NOT supposed to be a list of "things that have something to do with emotion", but that seems to be the standard that some editors have used. I rather doubt that there is actually anything left to be added to the list at this point, so please think it over very carefully before adding a new item to the template.
Here is the list of items I removed: *Acedia * Calmness *Epiphany *Fanaticism *Inspiration *Kindness *Melancholia *Shyness. Cgingold ( talk) 16:41, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
Not really appropriate. Dicdef or categories will say something is an emotion. Although category:Emotions might make the navbox redundant. Rich Farmbrough, 21:36, 20 July 2010 (UTC).
Check out this tool. Each link in red is a disambig link that must be fixed. Anyone want to help? -- JaGa talk 05:08, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
The emotions with no existing articles should either redirect to their synonymous articles or be deleted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.3.154.230 ( talk) 23:02, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
Stress an emotion ? - Or just some catch-all related term ...? - 198.48.2.252 ( talk) 04:59, 22 November 2018 (UTC)
I think Ikigai should be removed from this template, or at the very least moved to fall under the "Worldviews" section. I don't think that possessing a sense of purpose or goal in life is an emotion. Highcollargirl ( talk) 07:45, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
