Schematic illustration of one of the ways social feelings can be broken down. Feelings of affiliation greatly depend on the individual’s perception of the other’s feelings. Generally, these can be grouped as having a negative or positive valence, and being self- or other-oriented. Additionally, morality is a large component of shared feelings, which can be grouped widely into pro-social or social-aversive. Examples of pro-social affiliative emotions include compassion, guilt, embarrassment, gratitude, and awe, and serve to build & foster relationships. Examples of social-aversive affiliative emotions include disgust, contempt, anger, and indignation, which often lead to social aversion or a break-down of potential relationships.
