Abstract
Emotion researchers have tended to aggregate discrete emotions (e.g., happiness, anger, fear, sadness, surprise, pride, shame and guilt) into two valenced dimensions; that is, positive and negative (e.g., Stets, 2010; Thamm, 2007). For example, the valence of happiness is positive whereas the valence of fear and anger is negative (Turner, 2002). This research practice can be problematic because different processes drive each emotion, leading to different outcomes, and the capacity to tease out these differences is diminished (Gooty, Gavin, & Ashanasy, 2009).
