Mood MapHow do you feel?
Emotions create subjective feelings that are often evaluated as feeling good or feeling bad.
Emotions also tend to increase or decrease our arousal level, which we often describe as increasing or lowering
our energy level. The map shown here places each of the major emotions roughly where they are often
experienced in these two dimensions.

The placement of each emotion on this map is only approximate and very subjective. Each emotion can
vary greatly in intensity. For example anger can range from mild irritation to intense rage. Clearly the energy
level of those extremes vary greatly. You can improve your ability to recognize emotions in yourself by
paying attention to how you are feeling on the good-bad axis and on the energy level axis as you go aboutyour day. Click on each emotion name to learn more about that emotion.
Two other, more subtle dimensions also differentiate among emotions. The first dimension describes the
depth of experience or depth of emotional involvement characteristic of the emotion. The second
dimension describes the extent to which the emotion is either involuntary or deliberate. The major emotions
are placed on a grid along these two dimensions below.

To better understand each of the four factors used, the fifteen emotional concepts from the list of 558
terms with the highest and lowest scores on each of the four factors are listed in the following table. In each
column the terms with the highest score (toward +3) for each factor are listed in the first group. Those with
the lowest score (toward -3) are listed in the second group, below the break in the table. The uncontrol
factor describes the extent of autonomous or involuntary response as opposed to deliberate intent
