ABSTRACT
Emotions are events over time. They are embedded in sequences of feelings, thought, and behavior over time, and they embed lower order processes that also vary over time. Varying the time course of a given facial expression can drastically modify its apparent meaning. Prosody gives instrumental behavior expressive quality. Systematic analyses of emotional behavior prosody are scarce, though. The lack of correlation between emotion strength and duration may not invariably hold. Affections and aversions, sympathies and antipathies, loves and hatreds, are sentiments, and so are emotionally charged attitudes towards issues and political entities. The most important extension is by memory of the emotional events and their impact themselves. Sentiments affect the conduct of life in many ways. Emotions and sentiments only differ in that the former are occurrent and the latter largely dispositional. Passionate goals are goals with high emotional value; they form major, prominent, and dominant concerns.
