• Complex emotions differ from universal emotions in fundamental ways. Complex emotions require that the person expressing that emotion understands and is aware of him/herself, the self in relation to others involved in the eliciting of the emotion, and how the expression of that emotion would be viewed by the other people (cultural context).
• In contemporary study of emotions there are two separate approaches, a dimensional approach, where emotions are measured in terms of dimensions such as arousal (high/low) and valence (positive/negative) and emotions as discrete systems (which includes theories regarding universal emotions).
