Document Summary
Some reasons and evidence supporting the idea that some emotions are biologically preprogrammed, they are felling that everyone shares: discrete emotion theory. Darwin was the rst one to really propose a set of emotions (fear, disgust, mad, surprise, happiness and sadness) that exists in everyone in the world. There are facial expressions that display these emotions and they can be interpreted by everyone they are needed to survive in society. Ekman studied the universal repertoire of emotions that. Ekman said that each emotion has different facial characteristics, different facial movement that capture the internal emotion of the person. Izard"s research shows that adults can in fact detect internal emotions of babies from their facial expressions. Adults are pretty good at interpreting children"s facial expressions. Some adults mess up the negative emotions, such as fear and disgust these tend to get more distinct later on in development.
