Eight primary emotions introduced by Ekman include anger, fear, joy, disgust, surprise, trust, anticipation, and sadness. He explained that each primary emotion acts as a trigger of response with a physiological purpose. He provided an explanation for this in the form of a wheel of emotions. Where each emotion was the polar opposite of another primary emotion. Fear is the opposite of anger, Joy is the opposite of sadness, Disgust is the opposite of trust and anticipation is the opposite of surprise. The wheel of emotions was made of combinations in which a mix of two primary emotions was represented with a color.
