Course Description: Many researchers believe there are color-specific words to describe emotions. Emotions and color labeling have been a source of debate among researchers for years. The authors of the accompanying study challenged previous research findings by conducting two comparative studies. The researchers compared the results of both studies for color specificity identification and consistency among English speakers. Color specificity pertains to the way individuals distinguish color-emotion pairings, while consistency reliably identifies individuals’ agreement relative to color-emotion pairings. The researchers utilized the theory of constricted emotions to generalize the way individuals integrated emotions with colors.
