Contrasting and categorization of emotions

The following table based on a wide review of current theories, identifies and contrasts the fundamental emotions according to a set of definite criteria. The three key criteria used include mental experiences that:

    1. have a strongly motivating subjective quality like pleasure or pain;

    2. are in response to some event or object that is either real or imagined;

    3. motivate particular kinds of behavior.

The combination of these attributes distinguish the emotions from sensations, feelings and moods.
