Psychology distinguishes several types of emotions and feelings , which makes it easier and more accessible to characterize a person's state. Feelings are moral, intellectual or aesthetic. The classification of feelings in psychology describes these categories as follows:
1. Moral (moral) feelings
Moral feelings are a sphere of emotions. Emotional feelings arise in relation to the behavior of others or themselves. Usually this happens in the course of some activity and has a direct relationship to the moral norms that are accepted in this society. Depending on whether or not the internal attitudes of the person are seen, a feeling of satisfaction or indignation arises.
This includes all antipathies and sympathies, affection and respect, contempt and estrangement, as well as gratitude, love and hatred. A sense of friendship, collectivism, and conscience stands apart: they are conditioned more by the views and convictions of a person.
2. Intellectual feelings
Intellectual feelings are what a person experiences in the course of mental activity. This includes very deep experiences - the joy of discovery, the deepest satisfaction, inspiration, stress from failure, etc. The joys and experiences that a person feels about their own discoveries, this is a pretty strong stimulant of emotions.
3. Aesthetic feelings
Aesthetic feelings are what a person who contemplates or creates something beautiful feels. Usually this refers to either natural phenomena or to various works of art.
It is difficult to say which of these feelings is more valuable. Some people tend to experience a maximum of moral feelings, others - aesthetic. All kinds of feelings in psychology are seen as equally important in the emotional life of a person.
