Referring to FIG. 3 , the survey screen may include an area 310 where the contents of the survey are displayed and an answer input area 320 where the degree of consent to each survey can be selected.

On the other hand, among the above-mentioned seven emotions, pleasure (joy, 喜) can be largely divided into two factors: a positive emotional state such as pleasure and pleasure, and a feeling of exaltation in a pathological hypomanic state. Representative questionnaires to evaluate pleasure include "I am happy", "I am happy", "I am energetic", "I think good things will happen to me", "I think my work will be successful", " It contains key elements of positive emotions such as happiness, joy, hope, gratitude, and pride, such as "I am satisfied with my life" and "I am proud." In addition, the fact that positive emotions are excessive and act pathologically can be said to be a unique feature, which is similar to the 'elevated feeling' of hypomania in modern psychology.

Anger (怒) is a reaction to certain kinds of events, such as criticism and frustration; Include etc. The expression "getting angry" corresponding to anger was identified as a key expression of anger emotion, and representative questionnaires for evaluating anger are "There are times when I want to swing my fist" and "There are times when I want to break something. and external questionnaires such as "I can't stand it when you interrupt me", "I want to retaliate against people who have done bad things", and "I try to win over those who oppose me". It can include a questionnaire that reflects the meaning of anger triggered by subjective evaluation of retaliation or punishment for aggression or attack in

Thought (sa, 思) refers to excessive thoughts and worries, as well as obsession and obsessive thoughts, and includes behavioral aspects such as difficulty concentrating, indecisiveness, and anxiety of anticipation. Therefore, the items to evaluate thoughts and feelings are "I am obsessed with troubles", "I worry a lot", "It is difficult for me to erase repetitive thoughts", "I have a lot of thoughts. ", "I am plagued by unimportant thoughts for days and days", "The smallest thoughts haunt me." Excessive thoughts, worries, and expressions of concern are included. This worry is a cognitive mechanism of anxiety, a psychological phenomenon about future risk-related events or situations.

Depression (wu, 憂) is a concept that has something in common with depression. Since depression is caused by a negative cognitive system that distorts oneself, the environment, and the future, it is regarded as a depressed emotion and includes factors used in depressive episodes and depression-related scales. to set up constructs. As a behavioral measure of depression, it can be seen as lethargy (fatigue), loss of appetite, loss of interest, self-abasement (self-consciousness), worthlessness, excessive guilt, hopelessness, and suicidal thoughts related to inactivity as a behavioral measure of depression. Therefore, the questionnaire items to evaluate the feeling of depression are “I don’t think I will have what I want,” “My future is uncertain,” and “My work will not work out as I want.” , "My future looks bleak", "My future looks hopeless", "I think there will be more bad things than good things in my future." In addition, low morale corresponding to depression, "I have no motivation to solve problems", "I have no motivation to do anything", and feelings of inadequacy and guilt, negative self-concept and low self-concept, which are common factors of depression. The self-esteem question “I don’t think I have lived a proud life” is included.

Sadness (rain, 悲) is similar to depression (憂), but pay attention to the property that makes sad emotions pour out and emit, and is in line with sadness, an emotional response to loss, and crying, a behavioral signal, is the cause of sadness. the biggest feature. Thus, sadness includes mourning, loneliness (solitude), feelings of hopelessness over an irreversible situation, and crying as a behavioral measure. Crying is accompanied by tears and cries, but it does not always mean sadness, and crying in sadness is accompanied by loneliness and longing. Therefore, items corresponding to "sad", "crying", "tears", "solitude", and "loneliness" are included. In addition, it is mainly caused by the outside and is caused by uncontrollable and unpleasant stimuli, and sadness is a similar concept to depression, an unhappy mood that lasts for a long time without sufficient and clear reasons, but there is a difference in emotional expression. There are many points and the concepts of sadness and depression are mixed, so items corresponding to negative emotional expressions such as unhappiness, hopelessness, and depression, which also correspond to depression, are included.

Fear (gong, 恐) can be said to have an element of avoidance, which is one of the behaviors related to fear, in that it induces behaviors to avoid danger. Therefore, fear was viewed as fear, loss of control, avoidance, and social anxiety. Psychological fear includes not only the fear that appears when directly related to a specific object, which is a representative emotion of fear, but also the anxiety that “something bad is going to happen” although unspecified danger is unknown. In addition, tension refers to muscle tension, which is excessive or unnecessary energy that interferes with the flow of thoughts and emotions. If losing has a narrow meaning, tension is included in fear as a more comprehensive concept that includes anxiety.

Surprise (Gyeong, 驚) is expressed as an autonomic nervous system response, such as heart palpitations, dizziness, and a feeling of fainting, and similarities can be found with the startle response of modern psychology. It is an automatic response that most animals show innate fear to a sudden loud noise, and fear is also measured by triggering this startle response. Therefore, the startle response can be evaluated for various emotional states such as surprise, heart palpitations, restlessness (nervous state), body tremors, and surprise.

The answer collection module 211 causes the terminal device 30 to display a screen on which survey items are displayed, that is, a screen as shown in FIG. 3 , and obtains answers to the survey from the terminal device 30 .

Next, the score calculation module 212 analyzes the answers to the questionnaire transmitted from the answer collection module 211 and calculates the emotional state for each of joy, anger, thought, depression, sadness, fear, and surprise as a score. can

Next, the result display module 213 may generate an emotion evaluation result screen and provide the result screen to the terminal device 30, and the score for each of the seven emotions calculated by the score calculation module 212 may be displayed on the emotion evaluation result screen. can be displayed
