Abstract in brief

  • Basic Emotion Theory (BET) has been a central framework in studying emotions, emphasizing that certain fundamental emotions are universally expressed and experienced.
  • Recent critiques argue that BET is outdated and failing due to empirical shortcomings, but the authors suggest these criticisms overlook the theory's complexity and the significant advances made in understanding emotions.
  • The critique by Crivelli and Fridlund mainly focuses on facial expressions of six emotions and ignores broader empirical research, thus undervaluing the ongoing relevance and progress of BET in modern emotion science.]
