Abstract
Emotions are considered to be a basic part of human nature; however, emotions can be quite difficult to understand. For this research project, the goal was to divide 76 emotion words into clusters containing words that were similar to each other. Emotions can have many different dimensions; Valence and Arousal are the dimensions considered in this paper. After many analyzations, 16 individual clusters were formed. The clusters were groups of similar words with one word that described the entire set.
