Here are the four problems of emotion in everyday life, according to Karla McClaren, Ed.M.

Do you agree?

1) The problem of valencing - people assume that there are inherently positive or negative emotions, or pro-social or anti-social emotions. This is not true. (1/4)

2) The problem with expression and repression - having only two options for working with your emotions, both of which can be unhelpful. (2/4)

The problem with nuance - not understanding that emotions arise in multitude of intensities, and are present in every waking moment. (3/4)

The problem of quantity - not realizing that it is completely normal for emotions to arise in pairs, groups, and clusters. (4/4)
