Abstract
Ortony and Turner's (1990) arguments against those who adopt the view that there are
basic emotions are challenged. The evidence on universals in expression and in physiology
strongly suggests that there is a biological basis to the emotions that have been
studied. Ortony and Turner's reviews of this literature are faulted, and their alternative
theoretical explanations do not fit the evidence. The utility of the basic emotions
approach is also shown in terms of the research it has generated.
