While working on a research project, Freesia, a sociologist, experienced an emotion that she had not only never experienced before but that she had never even heard of. What is it?? | ||

is it relevant why she experienced this emotion? is it relevant that she was doing a research project? is it relevant that the research was in sociology? was the emotion caused by the project in any way? would we have heard of it? was she unusual in never having heard of this emotion? or never having experienced it? was it a negative emotion? positive? a 'good thing'? is it an emotion she would want to feel again? would we be likely to want to feel it? is it relevant why she had not felt the emotion before? is it an emotion which is usually only felt by people in unusual circumstances? such as the feeling one might have in watching your tribe eat your dead brother's brains to give them courage? is her race relevant? her nationality? was the research being undertaken within a culture different to her own? or about a different culture? was the emotion caused by seeing something relevant? reading something? hearing something? tasting something? feeling something? remembering something? anticipating something? fearing something? was the emotion akin to: excitement? fear? embarrassment? love? happiness? pride? anxiety? did she feel the emotion while on her own? with one or two others? in a group? was it necessary for anyone else to be there for her to feel the emotion? | ||

I like it but many people wouldn't is it relevant why she had not felt the emotion before? yes is it an emotion which is usually only felt by people in unusual circumstances? yesish such as the feeling one might have in watching your tribe eat your dead brother's brains to give them courage? well...not that unusual is her race relevant? no her nationality?no was the research being undertaken within a culture different to her own? yope or about a different culture? yope was the emotion caused by seeing something relevant? yes reading something? yes hearing something? yes tasting something? no feeling something? you mean the tactile sense of feeling? no remembering something? yes anticipating something? no fearing something? no was the emotion akin to: excitement? fear? embarrassment? love? happiness? pride? anxiety? no to all  !!!! did she feel the emotion while on her own?possibly with one or two others?ditto in a group? ditto was it necessary for anyone else to be there for her to feel the emotion? noish | ||

From your answers it seems that you have felt this emotion - correct? would this emotion only be felt by people studying what Freesia was studying? in the emotion was there an element of: horror? nihilism? despair? depression? terror? disgust? pity? curiosity? strangeness? surprise?is the emotion caused by knowing that something bad is happening or has happened to at least one other human? is it necessary for a human to be involved in evoking the emotion - even if they are not present at the time the emotion is felt? if so - would it be usual for the 'evoker' to be of a different culture to the feeler? would it be necessary? are animals involved? money? healthcare? tribal customs? slavery? cannibalism? initiation rites? rites of passage? marriage? death? birth? eating? drinking? illness? employment? voting? housing? war? violence? pacifism? religion? is it a 'mixed' emotion? where there are some negative aspects and some positive? | ||

Any of these things could be involved, but in the actual case in the puzzle,the elements involved are religion,money, housing, employment, marriage, eating & drinking, rites of passage, & initiation rites is it a 'mixed' emotion? yes where there are some negative aspects and some positive? yes | ||

The reason she had never heard of the emotion: Because it is rare? It is associated with another culture? Associated with another era? Normally only experienced within a certain context? Hannah asked, "would we have heard of it?" and you answered, "unlikely". I'm just wondering how we will establish the identity of the emotion if we have never heard of it. Do you expect us to google? Should we find other emotions that are closely associated? | ||

Is it ambivalence? If not, is it associated with ambivalence? | ||

HINT: Find out more about her research Do you expect us to google? not in order to solve this puzzle Should we find other emotions that are closely associated? that would help By Simon Downham (Beroean) on Tuesday, December 21, 2004 - 10:08 pm: Is it ambivalence? no If not, is it associated with ambivalence? no | ||

Relevant that Freesia is female? Would a male researcher in Freesia's place have experienced the same emotion? Was Freesia's research related to .. .. education? .. gender issues? .. employment? .. religion? .. generation conflicts? .. (im)migrant culture? .. equality/disparity? .. politics? .. something else? | ||

Do you mean emotion as a state of feeling? If so, have I felt it? Would I be able to feel it in the United States? In Sweden? On the moon? Would I know the name of the emotion if I felt it? | ||

How should I know? All I can tell you is that many people have never felt it Would I be able to feel it in the United States? yes In Sweden yes On the moon? yes Would I know the name of the emotion if I felt it? You might have to give it a nane, but there's an obvious choice | ||

Yet another BLOOOPERRRRRR(ETTE) ALLLLLLLLLLERTTTTTTTTT!!!!!! The research: Are religious rituals relevant? yes "yesish" would probably be a better answer | ||

Are non-religous rituals relevant? Could the emotion be described as a mix of two more known emotions? a mix of more emotions? Is it related to "No Pain, No Gain" (something bad is needed for the good to come)? | ||

There's hardly any maxim I'm in less sympathy with that "No pain, no gaion," by the way |
