Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The dimensional view of emotions posits that emotions can be understood in terms of two basic dimensions: pleasantness/unpleasantness (valence) and arousal level. These dimensions are thought to underlie a wide range of emotions and can be measured using self-report and physiological measures. While facial expressions may be universal across cultures, they are not considered to be a fundamental dimension underlying emotions. Likewise, while subjective experience and bodily change may be important components of emotions, they are not considered to be dimensions in and of themselves.
