Abstract

The evolution of human affectivity is strongly influenced by social interactions, by imitating the emotions of those around us and by life experiences. During development, emotions become organized and become more and more complex, guiding interpersonal relationships and everyday decisions. Psychologist Paul Ekman described six basic emotions, but subsequent studies have shown that they can combine, generating a wide range of feelings. Emotions are an essential component of the experience.
