Silvan Tomkins firmly insisted that there were nine and only nine affects, biologically based. The basic six are: interest-excitement, enjoyment-joy, surprise-startle, distress-anguish, anger-rage, and fear-terror. Tomkins always described the first six, and one that “evolved later” (shame-humiliation) in pairs. The first names the mildest manifestation, the second the most intense. The final two are “dissmell” and disgust.
