Study of Emotions

The study of emotions explores how and why humans experience feelings such as happiness, sadness, anger, or fear. It examines the biological processes, brain mechanisms, and psychological factors that influence emotional responses. Researchers aim to understand how emotions impact behavior, decision-making, and relationships, as well as their role in health and well-being. This interdisciplinary field combines insights from neuroscience, psychology, and physiology to better understand the complexity of human emotional life and develop ways to manage or enhance emotional experiences.
