Emotions!
Plutchik’s Wheel of Emotion (1980)
- there are 8 fundamental emotions (joy,
trust, fear, surprise, sadness, disgust, anger,
anticipation).
- emotions that are adjacent to one another
are closely related and can be combined
into more complex emotions
- each basic emotion have different
intensities – the closer the emotion is to the
center, the higher the intensity of the
emotion, and both would still be
fundamentally related but have different
forms

Emotions! Robert Sternberg’s Triangular Theory of Love
- Has 3 components
- Passion is a strong feeling of enthusiasm or
excitement for something or about doing
something.
- Intimacy is defined as something of a personal
or private nature; familiarity
- Commitment involves a conscious decision to
stick with one another. The decision to remain
committed is mainly determined by the level of
satisfaction that a partner derives from the
relationship
Passionate love is associated with strong feelings
of love and desire for a specific person. This love
is full of excitement and newness. Passionate love
is important in the beginning of the relationship
and typically lasts for about a year.

Companionate love follows passionate love.
Companionate love is also known as affectionate
love. When a couple reaches this level of love,
they feel mutual understanding and care for each
other. This love is important for the survival of the
relationship.
Emotions! Non love. The absence of any of the three types of
love. No connection. Indifferent to relationship.
Liking/friendship. This type of love is intimacy

without passion or commitment. This includes
friendships and acquaintances.
Romantic love. This love is passionate and

intimate but has no commitment. This could be
considered a romantic affair or could be a one-
night stand.
Emotions! Infatuated love. Infatuated love is passion
without intimacy or commitment. This is
considered "puppy love" or relationships that have
not become serious yet.
Empty love is characterized by commitment

without intimacy or passion. A stronger love may
deteriorate into empty love.
Fatuous love can be exemplified by a whirlwind

courtship and marriage—it has points of passion
and commitment but no intimacy. An example of
this is "love at first sight".
Emotions! Companionate love is an intimate, non-passionate
type of love that is stronger than friendship because
of the element of long-term commitment. This type
of love is observed in long-term marriages where
passion is no longer present but where a deep
affection and commitment remain.
Consummate love is the complete form of love,

representing an ideal relationship which people
strive towards. Of the seven varieties of love,
consummate love is theorized to be that love
associated with the "perfect couple". According to
Sternberg, these couples will continue to have great
sex fifteen years or more into the relationship, they
cannot imagine themselves happier over the long-
term with anyone else, they overcome their few
difficulties gracefully, and each delight in the
relationship with one other
