Psychology

A self-conscious emotion after achievement

In psychology, pride is a self-conscious emotion that arises when a person appraises an achievement or valued outcome as caused by the self. Charles Darwin's The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals (1872) first treated it as a natural emotion with a recognisable posture and expression, and Tracy and Robins's 2004 model Putting the Self Into Self-Conscious Emotions distinguished an authentic form, tied to genuine accomplishment, from a hubristic form, tied to a global feeling of superiority. Here the word names a measurable emotional state in an individual, not a doctrinal vice or a grouping of lions.[1][2]

Unit: An episode of the emotion in one person, varying in intensity
Recovery means: The state subsides as attention shifts away from the appraised achievement
Measured by: Assessed by self-report scales, facial and postural coding, and appraisal manipulations
