Abstract
Emotion has largely been a subject of art literature and psychology. Here, the author has developed a framework for objective description of emotions going through the historical developments in this area and explored the method and scales to quantify them. This chapter talks about the science of qualifying and quantifying emotions so that it can be used as tool for engineering designers.
