pop
Many psychologists have claimed that certain emotions are more fundamental than others, often for very different reasons. According to the PEN Model, emotions arise as aspects of a person's personality. Many Personality Disorders include problems with emotions, in addition to problems with thoughts and behavior.

- Emotional Participation in Decision-making
The results of recent neurophysiological and neuropsychological research make it necessary to take into account the participation of emotions in decision processes. The amygdala, which has revealed itself as a structure capable of assigning emotional meaning to environmental stimuli (assessment) gives rise to a series of reactions that include motor, autonomic, endocrine and central nervous system adaptations (emotional expression). All of these changes also feed back on the brain, producing what is known as emotional experience or feelings.

- Facial Expressions
The use of facial expression for measuring people's emotions has dominated psychology since the late 1960s when Paul Ekman, PhD, of the University of California, San Francisco and Carroll Izard, PhD, of the University of Delaware, reawakened the study of emotion by linking expressions to a group of basic emotions.

- New Directions in Subjective Well-Being Research: The Cutting Edge
Early research on subjective well-being (SWB) focused first on describing and comparing the happiness of people in various categories, especially along demographic dimensions such as age, sex, income, education, and age. In Stage 2 of SWB research, theoretical models are explored, and there is an emphasis on variables such as temperament, goal fulfillment, adaptation, and social comparison. Research in Stage 2 also includes improvement and validation of the SWB measures. Current research at the cutting edge, Stage 3, consists of exploring theoretical accounts of SWB that explicitly recognize the varying psychological processes that affect different measures, exploring theoretical models in terms of multiple measures and longitudinal designs.

- Subjective Emotional Well-Being
If positive emotions tend to influence one's overall emotional well-being, it is useful to ask what types of emotional experience lead to the greatest overall well-being. Do individuals consider the frequency of their positive emotional experiences when judging their happiness, or is the intensity of these experiences weighted most heavily? Lucas and Diener reported that judgments of well-being are based primarily on the frequency of pleasant affect, and less so on the intensity of affect.
