Robert Plutchik (21 October 1927 – 29 April 2006) was professor emeritus at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine and adjunct professor at the University of South Florida. He received his Ph.D. from Columbia University and he was also a psychologist. He has authored or coauthored more than 260 articles, 45 chapters and eight books and has edited seven books. His research interests include the study of emotions, the study of suicide and violence, and the study of the psychotherapy process.〔(American Scientist (The Magazine of Sigma Xi, The Scientific Research Society) )〕 == Theory of emotion == Robert Plutchik's psychoevolutionary theory of emotion is one of the most influential classification approaches for general emotional responses. He considered there to be eight primary emotions—anger, fear, sadness, disgust, surprise, anticipation, trust, and joy. Plutchik proposed that these 'basic' emotions are biologically primitive and have evolved in order to increase the reproductive fitness of the animal. Plutchik argues for the primacy of these emotions by showing each to be the trigger of behaviour with high survival value, such as the way fear inspires the fight-or-flight response. Plutchik's psychoevolutionary theory of basic emotions has ten postulates. # The concept of emotion is applicable to all evolutionary levels and applies to all animals including humans. # Emotions have an evolutionary history and have evolved various forms of expression in different species. # Emotions served an adaptive role in helping organisms deal with key survival issues posed by the environment. # Despite different forms of expression of emotions in different species, there are certain common elements, or prototype patterns, that can be identified. # There is a small number of basic, primary, or prototype emotions. # All other emotions are mixed or derivative states; that is, they occur as combinations, mixtures, or compounds of the primary emotions. # Primary emotions are hypothetical constructs or idealized states whose properties and characteristics can only be inferred from various kinds of evidence. # Primary emotions can be conceptualized in terms of pairs of polar opposites. # All emotions vary in their degree of similarity to one another. # Each emotion can exist in varying degrees of intensity or levels of arousal. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Robert Plutchik」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
