Abstract

Emotions play a fundamental role in the emotional life of an individual because they are closely related to the needs, motivations and may be the origin of mental or psychosomatic disorders. Some studies tend to confirm Darwin's hypothesis that the facial expressions of emotions are used as if it were innate. It is considered that there is a typical repertoire for humans using facial expressions through micro-and macro movements. The purpose of this study was to identify to what extent such influences often use words that express emotions. Hypothesis from which we started was that gender and education level influence the use of words that express emotions. Participants had to listen to a story, which I propose to continue. Were then analyzed in the proposed sequels subjects, words expressing emotions.
