Emotion, in its most general definition, is an intense mental state that arises automatically in the nervous system rather than through conscious effort, and evokes either a positive or negative psychological response. An emotion is similar to a feeling.
Noun
- A person's internal state of being, normally based in or tied to their internal (physical) and external (social) sensory feelings.
- The pre-programmed response of a person or animal to an emotionally competent stimulus which gives rise to feelings. The pre-programming may be instinctual or learned.
