Often considered taboo, yet ever-present in our daily lives,\u00a0<\/em>emotions<\/em><\/a>\u00a0require us to communicate effectively with our mind, body and feelings. Many studies show that it is better to acknowledge emotions than to try and hide them, even in the\u00a0<\/em>workplace<\/em><\/a>. There are several approaches to learning to live peacefully with your emotions, including the Wheel of Emotions, which was developed by the American psychologist Robert Plutchik in the 1980s. We take a look at the analysis chart which has been rolled out to several other areas and serves as a basis for training in HR, marketing strategies and even children\u2019s games.<\/em><\/p>\n

Emotions: A user guide<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Humans spend their entire lives in their own company, with their\u00a0consciousness<\/a>\u00a0and feelings. We experience contentment, boredom, jealousy, nervousness, anxiety, astonishment\u2026 The list goes on. Well, according to the American psychologist Robert Plutchik, the list isn\u2019t actually all that long. His works present eight specific opposing emotions that serve as a basis for all the others: joy and sadness, sympathy and disgust, fear and anger and surprise and excitement. Plutchik started from there and built a tool to map\u00a0human feelings<\/a>: the Wheel of Emotions.<\/p>\n

It is like a\u00a0barometer<\/a>\u00a0which identifies our underlying feelings and the needs they indicate. His \u201cinvention\u201d is made up of an evolving grid of emotions that passes for example from annoyance to rage through anger. This process is also conveyed in the form of a color palette (from lighter to darker yellow, for example, in the case of ecstasy). The Wheel of Emotions also takes into account the connection between the emotions: the connection between joy and trust is likely to \u201cproduce\u201d love, for instance.<\/p>\n

The Wheel of Emotions: What\u2019s the point?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The Wheel of Emotions is now used widely in HR training or coaching sessions. For example, the tool was used by coach Nathalie Colin in a\u00a0Meet & Learn<\/a> workshop to guide participants as they tried to identify times in the past when certain feelings were stronger than others, and then observed how they transitioned from one end of the grid to the other (aversion to remorse or astonishment to fear). By analyzing how they felt and how their feelings could have affected<\/a>\u00a0their\u00a0decisions<\/a>\u00a0and behaviors, the participants in this workshop learned what tools they could use each time a situation seemed to \u201coverwhelm\u201d them.<\/p>\n

The Wheel of Emotions is also effective in\u00a0e-learning<\/a>. To bridge the digital gap, it is important for people to stay\u00a0motivated<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 and that objective can be achieved by arousing the right emotions in learners. People can become more\u00a0interest<\/a>ed<\/u>\u00a0and the usefulness of the course content reinforced if a trainer tells an amusing anecdote first (anticipation + joy => affection).<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not only mathematical logic, but rather a theory that can help guide people who create content for online courses. Emotions are also very important for marketing:\u00a0studies<\/a>\u00a0show that a person\u2019s first reaction to an image or an advertisement has an impact on their opinion about a product or brand.<\/p>\n

An investigation<\/a>\u00a0carried out by the Journal of Consumer Research found, for example, that consumers who watched a frightening movie were more likely to remember a brand than those who experienced happiness (because, according to the researchers, the feeling of dread unites a group and creates a human bond around that shared experience).<\/p>\n

The Wheel of Emotions and nonviolent communication<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Learning to recognize and acknowledge emotions can also help establish\u00a0non-violent communication<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 an approach to dialogue which advocates empathy and attentive and respectful listening. In this case, the Wheel of Emotions would help\u00a0identify needs<\/a>\u00a0to avoid projecting anxiety, judgment or individual expectation onto the other person. For example, before typing a \u201cpassive-aggressive\u201d email to a colleague, why not stop for a moment and see where the emotion you are feeling is leading, (annoyance may rise towards anger) and then you can start to understand that it\u2019s possible to put a message across in other less abusive ways.<\/p>\n

While the ability to express emotions clearly and in an empathetic and objective manner takes a lot of effort, children have even more difficulty translating what is happening in their minds and bodies. The\u00a0Wheel of Emotions has been adapted<\/a>\u00a0for young children, and this version contains drawings and emojis which guide them through the process of non-violent communication. Like foreign languages, the language of feelings needs to be practiced regularly: all the more reason to start while you\u2019re young!<\/p>\n
