Emotion
Emotion refers to a state characterized by physiological arousal, changes in facial expression, gestures, posture, and subjective feelings; a pattern of action elicited by an external event and a feeling state, accompanied by a characteristic physiological response.

Moreover, Emotion is a subjective state of positive or negative affect often accompanied by a degree of arousal or activation; a motivational construct that is characterized by changes in affect (or feelings), physiological responses, cognitions, and overt behavior.

There are several theories of emotions, among the classic ones are:

1. James-Lange Theory
2. Cannon-Bard Theory
3. Schachter-Singer Theory
4. Lazarus Theory
5. Facial Feedback Theory
