Abstract
Psycholexical approach has made a significant contribution to achieving consensus in the taxonomy of personality traits. The aim of the paper is to propose the first psycholexical taxonomy of emotions. Two independent studies were conducted to determine the structure of the comprehensive list of morphologically unique emotion descriptors. In the first study (1,038 participants), emotions were described using single terms, whereas in the second study (679 participants) using short sentences based on the same list of descriptors. Parallel analysis and congruence coefficients (self- vs. observer-rating, orthogonal vs. oblique rotation), revealed in both studies similar eleven-component structure: Sadness-Apathy, Distress, Anger, Fear-Anxiety, Panic-Loss of Control, Enjoyment-Relaxation, Surprise-Interest, Shame, Contempt, Regret-Guilt-Compassion, and Love. The correspondence between this structure and existing emotion classification frameworks is discussed.
期刊介绍:
Emphasizing experimental and descriptive research, the Journal of Research in Personality presents articles that examine important issues in the field of personality and in related fields basic to the understanding of personality. The subject matter includes treatments of genetic, physiological, motivational, learning, perceptual, cognitive, and social processes of both normal and abnormal kinds in human and animal subjects. Features: • Papers that present integrated sets of studies that address significant theoretical issues relating to personality. • Theoretical papers and critical reviews of current experimental and methodological interest. • Single, well-designed studies of an innovative nature. • Brief reports, including replication or null result studies of previously reported findings, or a well-designed studies addressing questions of limited scope.
