Class Project – Emotion Scenarios
Anthropology 1006
People often experience a complex mix of emotions in different situations. For example, if a
close friend were to win a prize you were also competing for, you might feel pride in your
friend’s accomplishment, happiness for him, sadness and disappointment in your own loss, and
inadequacy that you were not as successful as your friend. Similarly, the friend would feel
another complex mix of emotions in out-competing you for the prize. For each of the scenarios
below, we would like you to list ALL the emotions that each person in the scenarios would feel
in the situation, using the numbers from the list of emotions given below. For example, if a
person would feel both angry (X) and sad (Y), you would enter X, Y. If a person could feel
two different ways depending on what kind of person s/he was, list the emotions for both ways.
A. After taking an exam, two friends, Mike and Tom, discuss their scores. Despite spending
weeks preparing for the exam, Mike failed. Tom passed the exam and admits to Mike that
he cheated. This is overheard by their professor, Dr. Williams.

shot down from his helicopter while fighting in Iraq and disappeared without a trace. She
