Robert Plutchiks
wheel`of`emotions
Weve colored-coded and organized the 36 emotions cards in our deck to correspond with
Robert Plutchiks Wheel of Emotions.
The wheel categorizes emotions into eight families: joy, trust, surprise, sadness, disgust, anger and anticipation. They are displayed

as petals. Intensity of emotion and indicator color increases toward the center of the wheel and decreases outward.

Secondary or dyad emotions are displayed as combinations of

less intense
the primary, shown here as circles. For example, optimism is a

combination of anticipation and joy.

JOY
Robert Plutchik, a psychologist and professor, had a revered
ANTICIPATION TRUST
theory that there are no bad or good emotions, they all serve more intense

a valuable purpose in our relations with others. Emotions aid

ANGER FEAR
in our survival.

Plutchik created the wheel of emotions in order to illustrate the

DISGUST SURPRISE
various relationships among the emotions. Each emotion has an SADNESS

equal on the opposite side of the wheel as well.

frankly, out of all the other theories it was the only one that

On the following pages, weve provided two versions of the wheel, one with complete labels, one with just the eight primary

emotions and one with no labels.
