The ability to identify one’s own emotions and those of others is a skill that is related to emotional intelligence. People differ in the extent to which they are able to identify the degree of specificity of their experiences. People high in differentiation are able to communicate more detailed emotional experiences on different occasions and use different adjectives to represent different kinds of experiences. They are better able to distinguish the intensity of emotions and use a greater emotion vocabulary. In contrast, people low in differentiation use only a few general emotional states and often struggle to communicate their feelings in specific terms.

Research shows that it is important to be able to label experiences with a high degree of specificity (i.e being able to make fine-grained distinctions). For instance, people high in emotion differentiation have been found less likely to drink excessively when stressed immediately prior to an upcoming drinking episode and are less likely to react aggressively against someone who has hurt them. Moreover, preliminary evidence suggests that training individuals to expand their emotion vocabulary and use it in a flexible way can help to them to regulate their emotions more effectively. This web-page is designed to help you expand your emotion vocabulary well before you can record them in AumMERA - My Emotional Record App.
