Is the Plutchik Wheel of Emotions encompass all emotions, or is it a work in progress? I ask because I did not see other states of being I consider emotions (e.g. melancholy, hopelessness, etc.) in the wheel. Also, how would something like apathy fit?

The more we understand our emotions and their relevance the easier it is to ask ourselves, “Is this just my wrong thinking?” As educators it is crucial that we understand not only our student population but who we are too.

The emotion wheel shown (Plutchik’s) is interesting and useful, but is missing many common sensations we all experience in life, such as compassion, hunger, and so on. I’d suggest to look at the Pan-Affect Chart, which aims to better cover all of our pleasant and unpleasant feelings (without going too overboard): https://sudism.org/pan-affect-chart/ Cheers, Pierre.

Only “aggressiveness” and “submissiveness” are not emotions. They are behaviors which come from patterns of thinking and emotions such as anger/frustration/fear/etc.
Reply
Auroraon August 18, 2019 at 4:57 am
I disagree. I think a person can feel aggressive, like they want to act aggressively, but not act on it. Perhaps a better term would be irritable, tense, reactive. I think submissiveness should just say submissive.
Reply
Traceon March 25, 2021 at 7:31 am
I view this a bit different. For me, Love is abstract. I then conclude that Aggressiveness and Submissiveness are also abstracts. The emotions that contribute to them in the color part of the wheel is what is exuded or rather mirrored out from the person. Also realizing, that the mirror is from those they associate who provide a mirror to them and thus the message their subconscious is receiving…making the emotion your friend, giving it a personality, giving it a smiley face or other, then telling it and asking it… “Thank you X for showing up, what are you hear to tell me?”
This is the most important question we can ask ourselves when looking inward at our mirror… Me: Thank you Anger (emotion) for showing up, what are you here to tell me? Answer: I’m here because I am being blocked from finding Love (the abstract). Me: Okay, thank you for that. What activities/actions can I do to gain more emotions that surround Love? … what activity/actions can I do that are Joyous to me? What actions can I do to create warmth in myself so that I may gain “Trust”…what learning can I do to become more “accepting”…perhaps mirror work will help? perhaps building qualities around Trust, Acceptance, or Serenity. Then, I would examine whether or not those qualities that I’m building align with my Values, thus building my Self-Concept of me…then, my self-esteem naturally raises as a benefit and eventually, my block is removed and my anger regarding that experience is diminished.

When I train people here in China, we have some additional findings on this Plutchik model: 1) the color of each emotion can link with our body temperature; 2) the eight primary emotions are very similar with Chinese ancient saying of 7 emotions and the only difference is anticipation; 3) the emotions are very meaningful to buildup of corporate culture.
One comment from a corporate client is: we tried to build a family-like love culture in our company, however, we found the cliemate was not love, instead, it’s more of submission. From the Plutchik model, we understand the reason: we have much more mixture of trust and fear (which produce submission) than mixture of trust and joy (which produces love). We know what we need to do now.

Very intriguing Leslie – I particularly like the point that if you have a clear emotion-goal, the model can help you understand something of how to get there!
Reply
Traceon March 25, 2021 at 7:19 am
I’ve just recently come across this model and this comment thread in my research. This thread seems to elude to something I’m interested in knowing… You said “We know what we need to do now.”… which means, as a team or even individual, one can change that emotional state toward a target desire. I’m under the assumption, per the Emotional Scale used by NLP, that one cannot “jump” states from say Anger to Joy in minutes or even days. It takes time to literally “step through” the rungs from the most challenged emotional state to the highest positive state.
Can you describe how to utilize the wheel to change states. And in particular, the horizontal line of Anger to Fear doesn’t seem to lend to a Positive “Opposite”, so how can one “spin” the wheel to get to where they’d like to go (i.e. being Joy, Passion, Exuberance, etc… all the good, Positive, High-Energy feeling states.”

I teach people how to release stress and trauma, and often there are emotional releases. One aspect I experience is the emotions relative to states of fight, flight, and freeze.
In my research over the years, I have learned about the vast array of nerves in the viscera, and correlated that with Candace pert’s work. I am also aware of William Jame’s work on the correlations, and he postulated that we feel because we move, as Dr. Levine explained in his book, “In an Unspoken Voice.”
I want to explore more of this aspect, as it is rich, and how the intensity that alters these emotions is generated. I know where I experience intensity, and was wondering if they are different or not.
I happen to have Josh’s book on my Kindle!

So, those emotions that “disturb the mind” while rich in information, are sending the wrong message. Best to pause and allow “the wiring” to engage so we close the gap lest the intensity escalate.
Sounds like the basis for most conflicts and why they often escalate.

I am an artist who has recently discovered Plutchik’s theory as I am beginning on a body of work exploring emotions. His theory is resonating with my thoughts and I am using each of his basic emotions as a starting point for each of the major works. I am struggling with how I will represent anticipation in body language and expressive line though… it’s just not as easy to tap into as anger or joy!

An engergised & alert body language (quickened, expectant, engaging),which is visibly agitated by Irregular Sensory Input (Excessive Sensory Activity). Our instinctive manifestation of repetitive unconscious behaviors (pacing, foot/finger tapping, neck craning,sighing) emphasizes the illusion of security through control.
OR (simpler…lol)
A hyper-vigilant state of consciousness shaped by the interpretation of (Sensory Data) Exaggerated Sensory Activity. The unconscious manifestation of repetitive behavioral adjustments implies the assertion of control & order.
