Plutchik diagram of emotions

Slide Content

The slide is focused on the Plutchik diagram of emotions, a conceptual model that categorizes and displays a wide array of human emotions. The model is broken down into eight primary emotion categories: joy, trust, fear, surprise, sadness, disgust, anger, and anticipation, which are further connected to more nuanced emotions, like love stemming from joy and trust, and aggression from anger and anticipation. Each primary emotion is linked to secondary and tertiary emotions that provide a more granular understanding of human emotional response.

Graphical Look

• The slide features a central wheel-like graphic with multi-colored sections representing different emotions.
• Each color-coded section corresponds to a primary emotion, and each segment extends outward with related secondary and tertiary emotions.
• Around this wheel, there are emoticon-like icons corresponding to each primary emotion and its respective color.
• The eight sections of the wheel are connected with thin lines to emphasize their interrelation.
• Light and dark shades of the same color are used to differentiate between the intensities of emotions.
• The slide background is white, making the colorful emotional wheel stand out prominently.
• The text is both on the graphic itself and in placeholder text boxes above and below the wheel.

The overall look of the slide is vibrant and engaging, with the use of emoticons making the complex information about emotions more relatable and easier to digest.
