      ABSTRACT

      In the last chapter we examined the ten emotions most closely related to our experiences in formal, agonic society, and the ten emotions associated with informal, hedonic society. Of these 20 emotions, eight are primary and 12 secondary. This leaves the 16 secondary emotions, it will be argued, that by present theory are the adaptive reactions to complex social situations involving one agonic variable (AR, AR, MP, or MP) and one hedonic variable (EM, EM, CS, or CS). It is helpful to view these emotions as organized in four subsets of four each, derived from: (A) positive agonic and positive hedonic relations; (B) positive hedonic, negative agonic; (C) negative agonic, positive hedonic; and (D) negative agonic, negative hedonic. Because these variables link the individual informal social experience to his or her formal social experience, it is proposed that they have much to do with a person’s character structure. Equally informative of character are the tertiary variables in which there is one primary component linked to informal community and two components linked to formal society, or vice versa. This augments the classification by doubling the number of variables considered indicative of the four character types. The results of this cross-classification are shown in Table 10.1. The four character types will be interpreted as (A) autonomy and social competence; (B) hostile intentions; (C) impulsivity and sensation-seeking; and (D) limited autonomy and social incompetence.
